According to the Hong Kong China Review News Agency, the new coronavirus epidemic has caused global borders and epidemic prevention efforts to build high walls, and there are still people at the airport who have to take risks to take flights. Xu Yaoyuan, a 25-year-old student, applied for a publicly funded scholarship to study for a master's degree in business administration at Kobe University in Japan. He checked in at the Scoot flight counter to Kansai in the morning. His mother accompanied him to see him off at the airport and was extremely reluctant to leave. She just hoped that her son would be safe and take good care of himself.
Xu Yaoyuan, who graduated from China Culture University , was surprised to see a group of media surrounding him when he was checking in. The media asked Xu why he was taking a flight at this time.
Xu Yaoyuan said that the publicly funded scholarship cannot be extended. If he pays for it at his own expense, it will cost nearly one million yuan every year. Based on academic and financial considerations, he decided to fly back to Japan to continue his studies.
Xu Yaoyuan also said that he originally saw his family about once every six months, but this time he went to Japan to study, and he was ready to see them again next year. This wave of epidemic caught everyone off guard.
What do you think about Taiwan’s “island-locked” control, or the border controls implemented in major cities around the world?
Xu Yaoyuan believes that perhaps when the new coronavirus epidemic first broke out, the world should have implemented "border controls" first, instead of waiting until it spread everywhere. He believes that science and politics are two different things. Epidemic prevention is science, but it is often mixed with too much politics. He believes that this epidemic will teach all mankind a valuable lesson.
Kaohsiung Xiaogang International Airport was affected by the epidemic prevention work today. All Southeast Asian routes were almost suspended. The only outbound flight in the morning was Scoot Taiwan to Kansai. The airport was deserted. Xu's application for departure flight also attracted media attention.
