pass

At noon, I ate steamed fish rice in a familiar tea restaurant. Because of the plague blockade, I "reunited after a long absence." In addition, there were not many customers. , but they said that as soon as they announced that they could pass the customs, many people went to Zhuhai." After she said this, I found out that the tea restaurant is not limited to the flow of people, but the business is not as good as before. She added: "Those people have been trapped in Macau for too long, and many of them have family in Zhuhai, so they hurried back as soon as the switch was turned on." The waitress might have thought that I would share some latest information on customs clearance, but seeing me also There was no response, so he asked me to bring my daughter to dinner when I was free.

So while I was waiting for the steamed fish rice, I browsed the news about the customs clearance in Zhuhai and Macao on my mobile phone. It turned out that the video of the crowds of people was going viral in the morning. Seeing such a situation, I immediately thought of the various difficult times in the city's fight against the epidemic over the past 40 days. A few days ago, we were still on high alert, but suddenly we changed into another situation. After eating, I still had time to drink coffee and swipe my phone slowly, and then everyone in the store received a notification that there will be crowd control measures at Gongbei Port and Qingmao Port tonight. I believe it is because there are too many gatherings. Because people pass the border, the rapid changes in the world are sometimes really unpredictable.

There are a lot of people who pass the customs frequently, most of them are working in Macau and living in Zhuhai. They are accustomed to making money here and spending there. Taking it to Zhuhai for resale has become a reality for decades, and it has even evolved into a group-style operation. Even if the government cracks down from time to time, it is still prohibited. This of course reflects that although the lives of the two sides are very close, there are always differences, and it also shows that this difference is enough to make these "water tourists" profitable. Under the epidemic, it is not easy for everyone to make a living. These simplest and fastest "trade" activities can also be said to be the epitome of open cities like Hong Kong and Macau. As long as the door is opened, people will have a way to find a way to make profits and a living space.

I haven't been to Zhuhai for several years. In addition to the impact of the epidemic, another reason is the weakening of the bones in my feet. The road to cross the border is designed to be tortuous and long, and there are so many people in line. Every time I come back, I feel physically and mentally exhausted. So whenever someone mentions the situation of passing the test to me, I can only listen patiently, and I don't know how to judge whether it is more convenient or more troublesome. Although I have some different personal feelings, for many people in Macau, eating, drinking and having fun in Zhuhai is fun. As long as customs clearance is smooth, residents can come and go freely, and the flow of people between the two cities can always be mutually beneficial. . However, the test the plague has given everyone, I don't know when to stop!

When checking out, the waitress told me that she and her colleagues have been living in the dormitory for the whole month. If she doesn't have to start work today, she also wants to return to Zhuhai. She also said that her children live there and can only video chat every day. , Of course, I am very concerned, but for the sake of life, I can't meet every day like before. Her situation is a portrayal of many grassroots friends. I originally wanted to ask her if she had any salary during the closure period, but seeing that the boss seemed to be full of thoughts in the kitchen, I didn’t dare to ask more. I hope their business will return to normal next week. !
