On June 1st, Shanghai returned to normalcy. Counting from the lockdown of Puxi on April 1st, the city-wide lockdown lasted exactly 61 days. Amid cheers for the restoration of freedom, those people and events once deeply engraved in our hearts may now be gradually fading from our memories. To slow down the flow of remembrance, IP SHANGHAI has randomly compiled the stories of 61 “ordinary people” who struggled against the dust of the times during these 61 days—just like all major events, these humble yet brilliant fragments are also precious chapters in the city’s history.
