In Beijing"s Jianguomen district, a 53-year-old woman working in a little shop selling nuts told us she had not been home for the new year since the Covid crisis began."I can"t wait to go home. I"ve been working hard all year," she said. "I want to see my parents who are getting old. My kids are there too. They"re all looking forward to my return. We can have a family reunion and ring in the new year together!"
