When Yuzhou City in Henan Province tightened COVID-19 controls this week, one resident grabbed their phone to document reality behind closed doors. \"Weโre all adapting,\" says Wang Di, a local stringer whose viral video reveals how communities are navigating sudden lockdowns.
Authorities reclassified Xiadu Sub-district and Liangbei Town as high-risk areas on January 4, triggering strict closed-off management. But amid the challenges, Wangโs footage shows neighbors banding together: volunteers deliver veggies door-to-door , pharmacies coordinate prescription refills via apps
, and community groups share real-time updates.
\"At first, people panicked about food,\" Wang explains. \"Now weโve got a system โ like a grocery hustle with heart.\" His clips highlight both logistical wins (think: masked delivery drivers) and quiet struggles, like elderly residents learning to use QR codes for the first time.
While cases remain under wraps, the video offers Gen Z-ready proof that even in lockdown, life finds a way.
