Teenagers have lived in Budapest for nearly a year and a half since they arrived at their destination in mid-September, 2118. One day at the beginning of October, 2119, the teenager accidentally discovered that the 21-year Spring Festival holiday was in the end of October and the beginning of February, which happened to be the gap between the 1 th semester and the 2 nd semester of the school, and this time was not very busy compared with the semester. Therefore, in the face of the upcoming 21-year Spring Festival, teenagers plan this trip home early.
Like most students studying abroad, they need to deal with their study tasks in advance and make plans for going back before going home. Therefore, there is basically no vacation during the whole Christmas holiday and New Year's holiday, and the relevant documents at the end of the 1 th semester and the beginning of the 2 nd semester are processed in the school. At the same time, in order to make full use of the nearly four weeks of going back, teenagers make detailed plans before going home. However, now it seems that all plans are in vain, because plans can never keep up with changes.
1. Going home and seeing
According to the plan, the teenager left school on the afternoon of October 3rd, embarked on a journey home, and arrived home on the evening of April 4th. The journey was quite smooth. Because my brother planned to hold a wedding on the fourth day of junior high school, the teenager went home and had a rest for 1 days, so he prepared for the wedding at home and with his family. When we finished most of the preparations on New Year's Eve, we planned to have a two-day rest on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. However, it never occurred to me that this rest actually lasted for nearly 1 months.
With the development of the epidemic, emergency response of Class I was launched in all parts of the country from the first day to the second day of the New Year's Day, which meant that traffic control was started in all areas and all collective gatherings were suspended. All this seemed to come suddenly. Two days before my brother's wedding, the wedding had to be postponed. According to the situation of epidemic development at that time, teenagers told their parents to be psychologically prepared for a long-term extension in advance, although everyone didn't want to see such a result at that time, and there was nothing anyone could do in the face of a sudden epidemic at that time.
With the postponement of my brother's wedding, all the plans made by teenagers before returning to China have been disrupted. Like everyone else, teenagers can only isolate themselves at home. At the same time, the teenager received emails from the international office of the college and the tutor, asking about and understanding the specific situation, and putting forward the suggestion of self-isolation at home for two weeks after returning. The most embarrassing thing is that, according to the plan, on the second day after the teenager returned to school, he had to attend the Workshop of a project held in the college. As a result, he was unable to attend because he had to isolate himself when he returned, so the teenager had to send his own PPT to the tutor by email, so that the tutor could help him introduce it.
During this period, with the spread of the epidemic, major airlines announced the cancellation of flights. Except for most domestic flights, most international flights carried by foreign airlines were also cancelled. At the same time, some countries have also introduced corresponding entry control measures, after which international routes including those operated by domestic airlines have to be suspended. At this time, all returned students, including teenagers, began to worry about whether their booked flights would be cancelled, whether the destination countries would restrict entry and so on.
after that, other friends told the teenager that they had decided to change their visa and return early, and the teenager also planned to change his visa and return early. However, after learning about the details of the change, the teenager hesitated, because the teenager booked a flight from Xi 'an to Beijing, and because most of the flights from Xi 'an to Beijing had been cancelled, the whole trip could not be changed, so he had to refund the ticket and buy it again. However, according to the current situation of things, teenagers find that flights carried by domestic airlines are less likely to be cancelled than those carried by foreign airlines, and leaving Beijing is more reliable than leaving other ports. Because the teenager had booked a flight carried by Air China before, he didn't change it in the end. At that time, I thought it was luck.
in the next few days, the small partners who changed their visas before have already embarked on the return journey and arrived at their destinations after connecting in other countries. Although the teenager decided not to change the visa for the time being after analysis, to tell the truth, the teenager is also very uneasy because no one can predict the development of the situation. However, with the passage of time, the direct flights from Shanghai, Xi 'an, Chengdu and Chongqing to Budapest have been cancelled one after another, leaving only the flight from Beijing scheduled by the teenager still running, and the teenager's anxiety has increased a little.
In the following days, teenagers pay close attention to the information of their booked flights and the entry policy of Budapest Airport almost every day. Of course, in addition to paying attention to flight information, the teenager's mood has gradually calmed down, because the teenager wants to understand a truth: "When you come, you will be safe." Since I finally came back once and couldn't get together with my friends, teachers and classmates, I stayed at home and spent more time with my parents. Of course, besides this, you can also take a chance to learn more about the yellow land where you have lived for many years. Therefore, the teenager came to a high platform along the country road and looked at the old school site of the primary school where he had studied. However, it is completely impossible to see that there used to be a primary school here.
at this moment, the teenager looks at the path he walked every day when he was a child, recalls the scene when he first went to school as a child, and remembers how reluctant he was to go to school. Looking back now, I still feel how incredible all this is. I can go from primary school, junior high school, high school and university step by step to the present.
Second, the way back
Although most people feel that time passes slowly at home every day because of the epidemic, for teenagers, it feels that time passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, the date of the return trip is getting closer and closer, and the teenager is ready to embark on the return trip after packing. Fortunately, the flight booked by the teenager has not been cancelled, and the port of entry of the destination is still open, but the quarantine of domestic flights has been strengthened. However, due to the epidemic situation and traffic control, it is extremely difficult for teenagers to return home.
Because the teenager had booked a flight at 8: 31 on February 11, he had to go back to the airport at 7: 11 in the morning. However, due to traffic control, in addition to the suspension of airport buses and the reduction of high-speed trains, all major hotels except star-rated hotels such as airport business hotels in the airport also stopped operating. In particular, Xi 'an and Xianyang have introduced new traffic control measures to restrict the entry of vehicles that are not Shaanxi A and Shaanxi D. Unfortunately, the hometown of teenagers is quite special. Although the ID card is Xianyang, the license plate does start with Shaanxi V, so it is impossible to go by car. In the end, the teenager can only decide to take the high-speed train to Xi 'an Airport on the evening of the 9th, and then stay at the airport for one night.
However, the teenagers are still very upset, because the quarantine measures for inbound registration started on the 8th in Xi 'an, because the policy at that time was not very clear. Some people said that after that, no matter changing trains or going to downtown Xi 'an, they would be required to be quarantined for 14 days, and the teenagers were worried that they would be quarantined as soon as they arrived in Xi 'an, so they could not go to the airport as originally planned. Although he was very worried at that time, there was no other way. The teenager tried it alone and arrived at Xi 'an North Station through the high-speed train. After a series of temperature measurement, identity document verification and code scanning registration, the teenager successfully took the airport intercity train and arrived at the airport. At this time, all the worries before the teenager slowly landed.
In this way, the teenager stayed at the airport for one night, and boarded the flight to Beijing early the next morning. According to the original transfer plan, there was only two hours to change trains, so when he arrived at Beijing Airport, he immediately went to the boarding gate through the international flight transfer channel and directly passed the customs and security check. However, shortly after the teenager arrived at the boarding gate, he received a notice from Air China that the flight was delayed for 4 hours due to undetermined reasons. At that time, after receiving the notice of flight delay, the teenager's first reaction was happy, because at least it could show that the flight had not been cancelled.
After waiting for 4 hours, the teenager finally boarded a flight to Budapest. Since the flight needed to stop at Minsk Airport in Belarus, after landing in Minsk, airport quarantine officers boarded the plane to take temperature measurements one by one. After the results were normal, they could go to the boarding gate to board the plane again. After a short stay, the teenager arrived at the destination airport at around 23.11 local time in Budapest, and also entered the country smoothly after the temperature was measured by the airport quarantine personnel.
At the same time, considering the inconvenience of taking public transportation, the teenager took a taxi from the airport and returned to his residence. At this point, the teenager finally reached his destination smoothly, and all his previous worries fell to the ground. At the same time, it also means that self-isolation in a foreign country has officially begun.
III. Special 2 weeks
After returning to the residence, the teenager started self-isolation at home like other returning friends. Although the school didn't require it, in order to reduce the risk, it was still self-isolation for 2 weeks according to the advice of the embassy. During the two-week isolation period, the teenagers basically never went downstairs. Every evening, the teenagers would stand by the window and look at the sunset and sunset in the distance.
I suddenly found that the sunset and sunset glow in the evening outside the window are really beautiful. Perhaps it is after you really calm down that you will really feel the wonders of nature.
IV. Conclusion
Because of the unpredictable epidemic, the teenager's journey home this time has become extremely difficult, and many plans made before can't be fulfilled, especially the domestic friends can't get together as scheduled. I can only say sorry to all the friends here, and we will have a chance to meet again next time. On the day of returning to China, teenagers have never even been to the large supermarkets, commercial streets and food cities where their hometown is located, and they have not eaten any other food in their hometown except the food cooked by their mother. Fortunately, however, the juvenile installation plan returned to school as scheduled, and it also successfully passed the two-week isolation period, and tomorrow it can officially go to school to start the new semester's learning tasks.
With the end of the juvenile isolation period, the domestic epidemic seems to have improved recently, but some new situations have emerged in other countries, especially in Italy, which is close to teenagers. When reading news reports that many universities in northern Italy have also announced the suspension of classes for a week, teenagers' hearts began to become uneasy. At the same time, the teenager originally planned to go to Thailand to attend an academic conference in late March, and planned to go to the Thai Embassy in Hungary to submit visa materials when the quarantine period ended. However, this afternoon, he received an email from the college informing all recent business trips to countries with severe epidemics to be cancelled. We can't predict what will happen in the next few days or months, but we can only pray silently in our hearts and wish everything well.
