Recent twitter No difference between weekday and weekend during the quarantine. Reasonable hoarding benefits decreasing the frequency of go outside and avoiding spread. It's good for one to buy necessary for the next two weeks for the whole family during each shopping, then just stay at home. #StopHoarding OF Course, I really can't understand people who stock loo rolls which can't be run out for ages. Groceries also play an important role here. Notifications about shutting down or closure of some shopping aisles lead to #panicbuying. Hope them try their best to offer more instead of closure #StopHoarding In order to buy two bottles of Dettol sprays, I booked an order in ASDA last weekend with buying many redundant items. Today the order arrived with the unavailable item: Dettol sprays. Hopeless buying #ASDA #panicbuyinguk If parents still work, but children stop going to school. Who takes care of these children? Most of Chinese schools and unis postpone the beginning data of the new semester, but probably students will lose their summer holiday. #ClosetheSchoolsuk

About the breakout My mom has to ring my father and me at the same time for our communication. One uses a landline and one is in WeChat. So the call becomes group talking instead of individual one recently. Three people in three different places. We started from the recently biggest news, coronavirus. My mom started complaining a boy went back from Italy to the capital city of the province and got sick. People are discussing him and think he ruins the achievement of the recent success. He went to Italy to watch a football match at the end of last month without considering the warning of possibly spreading the disease. He lied about his travel. People are disappointed and angry about his behaviour, because so many hard works contributed to the zero increasing case in that city. But I have no idea why every time when my mom complains about something, my father and I are speechless. Sometimes, I even thought I was a boy to listen to a girl complaining. China is really serious about protection for the virus. At the end of January, which isn’t the peak of the outbreak, the underground in Beijing has disinfected one or two hours a time. IR thermometers are placed in the entrance of public transportation to make sure at least no passenger in fever. Trains which contained sick passengers were posted on the Internet to let people know whether they might contact the spreaders. The hospital for patients was built in a week. Hotels are used for health care workers or extra patients. The majority of people obey the rule to stay at home, even during Chinese New Year, which is a typical time to get together with families. People collectively participate in the battle, which is magnificent. Therefore, I understand why the Chinese here are so disappointed and panic that they wanna go back to China, even without finishing their degree. The herd immunity idea sounds quite crazy and it is proposed by the government.

My familial call There should be a term to describe the things which trigger memories. souvenir? When I see the wild rocket, a common vegetable for the salad here, I recall the time in which I picked the wild veg with my father. No wild rocket in the Chinese market, let alone its washed leaves with delicate packs. But I guess it’s my favourite leaf veg, because my mom’s veg pancake is the best in the world. During the spring, the best two choices for outdoor activities are flying kites or picking wild vegetable. While the wheat grows, it’s the best time to pick the wild rockets. The peasants wouldn’t blame on you and they even need to appreciate your help, because the wild rocket is weed for the crop. They have competition in the field. There was a specific knife for picking the wild rocket at home, which has been ditched. I have been taught and seen the leaves more than hundreds of times, so I can easily recognise them from the grass. We got the rocket for free and I harvest sweet memories as well. I guess it's the reason why I'm indifferent about this kind salad here. Before my secondary school, I think we went to the field every year for the rocket, but the hobby stopped when my time was occupied by tons of homework. I even didn’t notice I lost the hobby. Childhood has many exclusive memories, riding on father’s shoulder, having the first bite of the snacks on the pillion, even without too many pressures and worries about the future. My father has stopped asking repeatable questions in the recent call. I was shocked, cause I just complained to my friend maybe a few weeks before. He starts to read the impressive paragraphs in the call, probably because he read too many books recently. Then he asks me about the interesting things happened in my life. Nothing jumped in my mind and I just randomly brought up the wild or my neighbours’ cats often poop in my backyard, because the ground is covered with stones which facilitate for them hiding their waste. At the end of the story, I suddenly feel it’s not an interesting thing for my father. Men like big deals, so we went back to coronavirus and the policy here. I wish I can become more and more patient when my father has a call with me. I wish I can stop choking him with mean words. I wish my family can travel together at least once a year, since nothing is more like a treasure than them.

Three jokes My friend told me her cat is like a dandelion. Too many fluffy make her sneeze. The cat often eats his falling fur, which isn't good for him, so my friend fed the cat some triggers/emetic to let him throw up. The poor cat threw out while he was walking, even in my friend's shoes. In the robot lab, my lecturer asked students to make videos of the performance of their own robots to avoid plagiarizing. I was shocked by how professional these students are. They brought cameras and tripods. I felt they are directors to make documentaries??? Halsey's joke: she went to an event with makeup(including eyelashes) at night. She was too hung-over to clean off. In the next day morning, her boyfriend was scared by a spider besides their pillow.

Today's meetup I met a Chinese girl to do currency exchange today. The girl told me her parents work here. I was like it’s good to live near or with parents and I missed my parents a lot. She admitted it. It’s quite common to do currency exchange among Chinese students. Since many workers in China town need to transfer money to their families in China, they will offer a lower currency rate than the bank to exchange some Chinese yuan. 4th post in the ins: sunstar_shine

Launch a new ins Basically, I just record people occurred in my life. Most of them are strangers. I enjoy learning others. I enjoy journaling people. I often feel relaxed when I talk with someone. Everyone is a book or documentary. Nobody needs a name here. You might have similar clips as them in your life. For me, when I look back, I might realize there are so many stars in my life, though most of them like shooting stars. I still get a spectacular galaxy. The ins is sunstar_shine I met a PhD in TA training session. She is from Brazil. She was my partner in group discussion. The training content is a bit of vanity, so we start leisure talking. I knew she doing research in chemical engineering. She has a brother did a similar major as me in the US. She didn’t go there because in America a PhD took more than four years mostly. We also talked about life, entertainment in the city. I feel she was quite peaceful and seems took everything in stride. She spoke calmly and kindly. I could feel her confidence. She is like a player in a chess game who knows every step in advance. I added her ins and feel her passion for life. These attitudes are lacked in my life. I was curious about the reason. Then I knew she had worked for five years before she started her PhD. Maybe experience is the foundation of the attitude. I went swimming in the evening and met a Romanian who is in the first year. He is studying computer science. He likes rainy weather. He told me in Romania, people’s salary is commonly 300£/month. Studying in the UK is still cost a lot even they can apply for student loan. His plan was studying in IC. Because his application was too late, it was hard to get involved.

my terrible interview I’m crying like a dog in the new year eve. I feel I’m good at ruining interviews and I feel life is so hard. But please think from other side · Thanks for the professor and the doctor playing with or training me patiently. before a success, all these interviews are my training course. Please be patient to yourself. · Your ability is still not enough to deserve it, but you are growing. As you keep going, one day you will get an opportunity. · Let the brilliant people do the brilliant things. I’m not aim to be a great people. I know the requirement is higher than my expect, even before the interview. Summary the interview, give yourself some solutions.

New year' wish Wish in this year, I can be brave to confront any problems. To change my attitude, face life with full of courage instead of just struggling.
