Lockdown proves no barrier to love

Community workers loaded these supplies into shopping carts or electric tricycles and transported them to the delivery shelves inside the neighborhood, where residents from buildings without confirmed cases can pick up their goods.

Ma Zheng, a community official in charge of goods supply during the lockdown, said they have installed shelves for deliveries to ensure residents can pick up daily supplies and packages they ordered in a timely manner.

For people stranded at home in the locked-down building, volunteers deliver supplies in front of their doors and pick up their garbage, he said.

More than 20 workers, including community officials and security personnel, make nearly 200 round trips every day between the boundary and delivery shelves to transport daily necessities for residents, he added.

Resident Liang Yuyue looked delighted when he picked up a big box of roses from a shelf. "It's the flowers my daughter sent to her mom on this special day," he said, adding that his daughter visited them with gifts on May 20 in previous years.

The 67-year-old said supplies for the neighborhood are abundant and delivery services were almost as fast as before.

Although some residents complained about the inconvenience of the lockdown, they actively worked with community workers in doing nucleic tests and implementing other preventive measures.
