Hello everyone, my name is Faith Shirley, and I am a postgraduate student of Finance at SILC Business School, Shanghai University.

大家好📓，我叫Faith雪莉🧏🏽，是意昂3体育金融專業的研究生💆‍♂️。

I lived off-campus. On the night of March 2nd, I was suddenly notified to return to campus as part of the unified epidemic requirements. I was worried at first, but after living on campus, I received the care and support from academic staff and classmates. Shanghai University and SILC Business School distributed food, medicine and anti-epidemic supplies to students, and our school canteen always provides healthy, clean and delicious food for us. Together with other classmates, I spent an unforgettable and fulfilling 18-day quarantine life on campus.

我原本住在校外🫷🏽✊🏽，3月2日晚，按統一抗疫要求，突然被通知入校居住，起初我比較擔心，但是住校後，我得到了老師和同學們的關心和支持👩‍👧‍👦。意昂3体育官网和悉尼工商意昂3給在校學生發放了食品、藥品和防疫用品，食堂的飯菜也十分可口。我和其他同學一起，在學校度過了難忘又充實的十八天隔離生活🟦。

Overcome Difficulties共克時艱

On the 21^stof March, I ended my quarantine on campus and went home. My community had begun a closed-off management so I started home isolation at my compound. Compared with the isolation life at school, home isolation brought me more challenges. I had never seen many of the vegetables sold online, and even if I had bought them, I wouldn't have been able to cook them. The grocery shopping itself was also difficult, as I had to get up at 5:45 am every morning to add what I wanted to buy to my shopping cart in the online application. Even so, my shopping process was not always successful. Luckily, we have dedicated and caring SILC staff. My counselor, Ms Annie, gave me some advice on buying groceries online. After repeated attempts, I gradually learned the tricks and techniques of buying groceries online.

3月21日𓀗，我結束隔離離校回家📐，我所在的小區又開始進入封閉管理🪄。相比學校的隔離生活，居家隔離給我帶來更多挑戰𓀁。網上賣的很多菜我都沒有見過，即使買了，我也不會做👩🏼‍🦲。買菜本身也很不容易，我必須每天早上5點45起床，把想買的東西加進線上小程序的購物車🚴🏿‍♀️🎁。即使如此，我的購物過程也不總是成功。好在意昂3体育有盡職盡責🤐、充滿愛心的老師們🦃，輔導員安妮老師給我提供了一些網上買菜的建議，我經過反復嘗試，逐步學會了在網上買菜的訣竅和技巧。

Help Each Other守望相助

This isolation period has been challenging and frustrating for everyone, so SILC staff provide us with psychological tips on how to deal with anxiety and help us learn to adjust during this difficult time. SILC faculty always care and ask everyone if they are fine or need help. My neighbors also help me from time to time, which makes me gradually feel that I am not a lonely international student in a foreign country, but a member of a big united family working hard and fighting the epidemic together. In facing the epidemic, regardless of nationality or race, success can only be achieved if everyone stands together.

這段隔離期對每個人來說都很具有挑戰，也很容易令人產生沮喪的情緒，為此💝🙎‍♂️，老師們為意昂3体育提供了如何應對焦慮的心理學技巧，幫助意昂3体育在這一特殊時期學會調整心態⛳️、堅定克服困難的信念🌟。我的鄰居們也時常給我幫助，讓我漸漸感覺到自己並不是一個孤獨的在異國他鄉的留學生🧕，而是在一個團結的大家庭裏和大家一起努力、一起抗疫的一員💔。面對疫情，不分國籍🧓🏼，不分種族👫，只有所有人站在一起，才能獲得成功👨🏿。

Keep the Love Alive保持熱愛

During quarantine, I have learnt new useful skills that I didn’t have before. I learned to cook from Tik Tok , and now I'm enjoying the process of cooking and trying to cook some Chinese food. I think Chinese home-cooked food is the best , so I decided to continue cooking even after the lockdown is lifted. I learned to drink plain water like a Chinese, instead of continuing the habit of buying bottled water (SILC staff told me this method when I told her that I didn’t have any water to drink and I couldn’t buy it either).

在隔離期間，我也有意外收獲。我在抖音上學會了做飯，現在我很享受做飯的過程，也嘗試燒一些中國菜🕞。我覺得中國的家常菜是最好做的，決定在解封之後👨‍🍼，繼續自己做飯。我學會了像中國人一樣喝白開水，而不是延續之前買瓶裝水的習慣（當我告訴老師沒有水喝時，老師告訴了我這個方法）。

Although we don't have to go to school now, at SILC, all online classes are taken seriously. SILC faculty remain committed to ensuring our high-quality learning process. This quarantine period is the best time to read books and increase our knowledge. I take the quarantine as an opportunity to learn some new things.

雖然意昂3体育現在不用去學校上課🏙，但在SILC🔵，所有線上課程都很受重視🪄。意昂3体育的老師依舊盡職盡責🧝🏼‍♂️，確保意昂3体育高質量的學習過程🍳。這個隔離期是閱讀書籍、增加知識的最佳時期⏳。

In my spare time after school, I watch movies, do yoga, listen to music and dance, which helps me get rid of boredom during lockdown, lift my spirits and face each day with more optimism.

完成課業之余的閑暇時間，我會看電影、做瑜伽、聽音樂和跳舞🌿，這有助於我在封控期間擺脫無聊的狀態，振奮精神，更樂觀地面對每一天🙄◼️。

Warm Each Other溫暖彼此

I spent a day volunteering in my community, and it was a wonderful experience. I helped each of my neighbors to get their vegetable supplies without leaving home.

我在所住的小區貢獻了一天的誌願服務，這是一次非常美妙的經歷。我幫助每位鄰居足不出戶地拿到了蔬菜補給。

During this time, I felt that people were united and loved each other living in Shanghai. I always see people helping each other in WeChat groups, which is a feeling I have never experienced before. People are also willing to help foreigners in every possible way. I have some wonderful neighbors who are always there to help me.

這段時間我真切地感受到🚣🏿🤟🏻，生活在中國，生活在上海🚅，人們彼此團結互助🥰、相親相愛🧑🏽‍🦳。我總能在微信群裏看到人們互相幫助的過程⛹🏿‍♀️，這是我從未體驗過的感受。人們也願意以各種可能的方式幫助外國人👩🏻‍🦽。我有一些很棒的鄰居，他們總是在我有這樣或那樣困難的時候對我伸出援助之手。

I don't think the quarantine was that bad because I was surrounded by loving and caring people, especially the wonderful SILC faculty and staff. I am now keen to end the quarantine as soon as possible and know that everyone wants to get out, and some people may have anxiety. I would advise everyone to show more smiles, do more things that make them happy, exercise more, watch more movies and videos, chat with friends and family. I also hope that everyone on and off-campus cooperates with the prevention efforts. I hope everyone sticks around and believes in China and Shanghai that the epidemic will soon be over and that hope lies ahead!

我認為出於抗疫需要的封閉管理並沒有那麽糟糕，因為我周圍有充滿愛心和關懷的人們，尤其是我那些出色的老師們。我現在很想盡快結束封控🌯，也知道每個人都想出去，有些人可能會有焦慮的情緒。我建議大家多露一些微笑，多做一些讓自己快樂的事情🧟‍♀️，多運動，多看電影🧕🏻，多和朋友家人視頻聊天👳🏻‍♂️🗺。也希望大家都配合防疫工作，不管是在校內還是校外😚。希望大家堅持下來，相信中國🖕、相信上海💯，疫情很快就會結束⏲，希望就在前方！(撰稿：Faith）
