Nie Huachen is a dispatcher of Fuxing office in Shenzhen, SF Express. He came to SF Express eight years ago and became a delivery man. This year he chose to stay put at his position during the Spring Festival, as many customers planned to spend the festival locally in Shenzhen. As a part of the preventative measures against COVID-19, China has encouraged people to stay locally for the Chinese New Year. Many Chinese chose not to go back to their hometowns for family gatherings, opting instead to stay where they were for the most important holiday of the year. Xinhua reporters helped those who didn't go back to their hometowns "reunite" with their families in pictures. [Xinhua]
