How do you spend a special Christmas when London is closed? |Overseas compatriots oral

The plan was suddenly disrupted, a special holiday experience

For many people, this year's Christmas is one of the most special Christmas in their lives. The ongoing new crown pneumonia epidemic has changed the familiar holiday methods and festive atmosphere.

In previous years, London’s Regent Street and Oxford Street will hold very grand lighting ceremonies, citizens and tourists will come to watch. After lighting up the colorful lights, the festive atmosphere on the street suddenly became more intense, with people coming and going, very lively. This year, many people, including me, seem to have forgotten this ceremony. Not long ago, while many shops were reopening, I was making a Christmas shopping. When I was passing by Regent Street, I discovered by accident that the lights were already on.

Under the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the British are familiar with a new concept-"support bubble". In order to prevent and control the epidemic, the government stipulates that people cannot meet with family or friends indoors at will, unless they are people who usually live with them, that is, people who belong to the same "support bubble". Although my uncle's family also lives in London, because we are not in the same "bubble", we can't talk to each other.

On Christmas Eve, Londoners rushed out to shop and supermarket to prepare for family reunion dinner. The government is well aware of the importance people attach to this festival. Originally, while maintaining the city blockade, it "lighted the green light" especially for the festival, relaxed restrictions on indoor gatherings, and allowed people within 3 "bubbles" to reunite indoors. Unexpectedly, a few days before the holiday, London was suddenly upgraded to a level 4 blockade, which was equivalent to "foot-free", and people's plans to visit were disrupted. People in other areas are only allowed to meet people from different families on Christmas Day.

The egg supply was once cut off, but fortunately there is a Chinese supermarket

Cinemas and theaters are open and closed, and the seats are removed to welcome VIP

Recalling last year’s Chinese New Year, the same was true. Those who returned home to celebrate but could not go home, those who were going to get married were delayed, and those who were going to leave relatives could only practice in retreat at home.

Stay at home is the safety.
