My second brother lives in Yingkou City , which is two adjacent cities to my place of residence Dalian City . Logically speaking, the exchanges between the two cities should be very smooth and independent of each other, but The epidemic came and everything changed completely. Nowadays, various exchanges between the two cities have become more and more complicated, and it can be said to be very difficult to go to the other's city.
In fact, not only the exchanges between Dalian and Yingkou are like this, but also the exchanges between other prefecture-level cities are like this. Why is this happening? Because our current epidemic prevention policy is based on prefecture-level cities. Each prefecture-level city, in order to protect its one-third acre of land from the epidemic, is trying every means to build a firewall. This has caused a gap between cities and cities. Communication between them has become very inconvenient.
The 28th of this month, which is tomorrow, is my nephew’s big day. Originally, I was planning to go to Yingkou to attend the wedding, but because of the epidemic in Dalian, it would be more troublesome to go to Yingkou. I first need to do the nucleic acid test , and I also need to report to the school (there are children at home who need to go to school), and then I can go to Yingkou with the nucleic acid test report. After arriving in Yingkou, I will immediately take a nucleic acid test and report to the local community. After the test is completed, you cannot go anywhere. You have to quarantine at a relative's home or a hotel for three days.
I am going to Yingkou to attend a wedding. If I follow this requirement, I must arrive at Yingkou three days in advance. Otherwise, I will not be able to arrive at the wedding venue on the same day. When returning to Dalian after attending the wedding, I had to take a nucleic acid test again as soon as I got off the car, and I also had to complete a self-report in advance through the "Liao Shi Tong e Dalian" WeChat applet. Before the nucleic acid test report comes out, I must stay at home and cannot go out anywhere. Only after the nucleic acid test report comes out and proves that there are no problems with my trip, can I leave the house.

Because I have a formal job, our company has other requirements for traveling outside Dalian. If I want to return to work at the company, I need to have a local nucleic acid test report from Yingkou. I need to report all the itinerary and experience from Dalian to Yingkou to the company. I need to report the nucleic acid test results after returning to Dalian to the company. Wait until everything is OK. Only then can I return to the company to work.
Dalian
Because of this trouble, the plan to go to Yingkou to attend my nephew's wedding was cancelled. I am an office worker and live on my salary. Keeping my job is more important to me than anything else, so I don’t dare to run around. You must not delay your work just because you have to attend a wedding. That is not cost-effective.

But through this incident, I thought of another question. Since the current epidemic prevention policy regards prefecture-level cities as independent units and establishes firewalls based on the boundaries of prefecture-level cities, in fact, each prefecture-level city is equivalent to an "independent kingdom". Since everyone can only live in one "independent kingdom" and cannot travel casually, if you want to live in a large and powerful "independent kingdom", your life will be relatively comfortable. .

In our country, cities with strong comprehensive strength can be said to have everything. Not only does it have everything, but it's also the best and top quality. Let’s compare Dalian and Yingkou. If both cities are blocked due to the epidemic, people living in Dalian can enjoy better medical resources and better tourism resources without leaving Dalian. Better educational resources, higher-end food resources, in a word, food, drink, entertainment and other aspects have not been affected much.

But it is different in Yingkou. Yingkou itself is much worse than Dalian in all aspects. If it is blocked due to the epidemic, the available resources will be far from comparable to Dalian.If things could not be solved in Yingkou in the past, Yingkou people could go to Shenyang and Beijing. But in this era of the epidemic, will it become difficult to go to Shenyang and Beijing? Compared with Yingkou, Dalian is a level higher; but compared with Beijing and Shanghai, Dalian is a level lower; and compared with small and medium-sized cities in some provinces and regions, Yingkou is still much better in all aspects. This is where the difference between everyone comes from.
dalian I was just thinking that it is almost three years since the COVID-19 epidemic emerged. Can our epidemic prevention policies based on prefecture-level cities be modified? Can we expand the scope of epidemic prevention? Expand the epidemic prevention area from the previous city-based epidemic prevention area to the provincial-based epidemic prevention area? Will this reduce the negative impact on small and medium-sized cities?

If the province-based epidemic prevention circle feels difficult to manage, then several prefecture-level cities can be combined to form an epidemic prevention circle. Let's take Liaoning Province as an example. Dalian, Yingkou, and Dandong can be put together to form an epidemic prevention circle. This will greatly reduce the adverse effects of the epidemic in Yingkou and Dandong. , and at the same time, it also expanded everyone’s activity area, which can be said to serve multiple purposes with one stone.

Achieving common prosperity is a macro theme that should be implemented from all aspects and levels. In my opinion, changing the current epidemic prevention policy and expanding the existing epidemic prevention circle, so that everyone has a larger scope of activities and more available social resources, is also an integral part of achieving common prosperity!
