"I want to successfully get into Harbin Institute of Technology this year and become an aircraft designer in the future. This is my wish since junior high school."
↑ This is the New Year's wish of Zhu Junlin, a senior high school student who was filmed at Dongxing Middle School in Dongxing City, Guangxi on January 1, 2022.
Facing the brand new year of 2022, this senior high school student named Zhu Junlin expressed his New Year's wishes at the beginning of the new year. At this time, the epidemic in his hometown of Dongxing City, Guangxi has been basically controlled in the society.
In late December 2021, the Guangxi border city Dongxing City showed local confirmed cases of new coronavirus pneumonia. By 19:00 on December 26, the number of local confirmed cases in Dongxing City increased rapidly to 19. On December 27, the epidemic reporting team sent by the Guangxi Branch of Xinhua News Agency entered Dongxing City on the same day after completing all the preparations required by the epidemic prevention and control command.
, a small border town that was usually extremely lively due to import and export trade and cross-border tourism, was pressed as 2022 is approaching. Before I could put my luggage, my colleagues and I immediately devoted ourselves to the epidemic reporting. As a photographer, I am eager to use the camera in my hand to record every bit of the fight against the epidemic in this small border city.

From vegetable markets to supermarkets, from blocked communities to border ports, from low-risk areas to medium- and high-risk areas... The anti-epidemic work is proceeding in an orderly manner. Everyone here is like a candidate in the epidemic, looking forward to winning this anti-epidemic test through hard work. And in Dongxing Middle School on the banks of the Beilun River, there is another group of people working hard for the 2022 college entrance examination.
Dongxing Middle School is the only high school in the local area. Affected by the epidemic, nearly 400 of the nearly 900 senior high school students in the school have been closed for management, while the rest of the students can only take online classes at home. Some faculty and staff are also quarantined at home due to the impact of local anti-epidemic policies. How to take the senior year of high school courses in
? How to ensure the progress of teaching and review? Students are concerned about these issues, parents are concerned about them, and society is concerned about them. I think at this time, I need to use a camera to show the truest side to everyone.

After approval from multiple parties, on the premise of doing a good job in epidemic prevention, I walked into this middle school near the border. The sound of lectures and reading from my ears appear even louder in this city that has been quieted by the epidemic. Like 18-year-old Zhu Junlin, the senior high school students here have not been affected too much by the epidemic. The teaching activities are proceeding in an orderly manner, and everyone is fighting for their dreams.

Since Dongxing City took home isolation control measures for all employees on December 22, 2021, in order to ensure the normal study of senior high school students, the school has coordinated personnel and materials from multiple parties, and all takes students' learning needs as the starting point. By taking online course live broadcasts, recordings, and teachers' daily regular online Q&A answers, we will coordinate the teaching and learning of teachers and students inside and outside the school.

The families of some teachers have been working on the front line of the fight against the epidemic since the outbreak of this round of epidemic. On one hand, there are teaching work and on the other hand, families that need to be supported by themselves temporarily. These teachers have no complaints. In their hearts, students' studies are always at the forefront. The closer the college entrance examination is, the more students cannot live without their teachers.
