小小声说话丨Finally stepped out of the residential compound—how far is Shanghai from truly returning to normal?

After 52 days of lockdown isolation, the author stepped outside the residential compound for the first time. Based on their observations, the author draws a paradox: if certain public and commercial service facilities outside are not open, it will be very difficult for people to go out to work, study, or conduct business; however, if not a large number of people go out, it is impossible for these facilities to open at a significant scale. To revive a city that has been in a state of shutdown for two months may inevitably be a long and arduous process.
