DELIVERY WORKER

Shanghai courier Tian Dan, who has driven around an almost silent Shanghai for two months making her deliveries, is happy to find more vehicles returning to the city's roads.

"I know the situation is getting better when I encounter traffic jams during my deliveries. I have to get used to such congestion again, but it's a good sign that life is returning to normal," the 34-year-old said.

A courier with the food delivery platform Ele.me, Tian joined the company's emergency team in late March, delivering medicine and baby milk powder.

"One day in April, I delivered more than 100 orders across the city and had to work until late at night at the peak of the outbreak, but I can now finish work at 5 pm," she said.

Despite her heavy workload, Tian, who arrived in Shanghai from Shaanxi province, is glad that she has got to know the city better, to feel needed by other people, and to gain a new sense of achievement in her work.

"The epidemic has taught us to treasure life and people. My husband and I will go back to our hometown to meet our daughters when the epidemic is over," she said.
