As Beijing tackles a fresh wave of COVID-19 cases, delivery riders are stepping up as everyday heroes to ensure shelves stay full and residents stay safe. 🦸♂️ Chaoyang District, the epicenter of the outbreak, has seen neighborhoods enter closed-off management—but one rider’s viral video shows how communities are staying resilient.
📦 \"My phone hasn’t stopped buzzing with orders,\" says the rider, who documented his deliveries to a sealed-off compound. \"People worry about shortages, but when I walk into supermarkets, everything’s there—veggies, rice, even snacks. We’re just racing to get it to doors faster.\"
Stores across the capital have amplified stockpiles of daily essentials, with real-time updates on app platforms to ease panic-buying fears. Local officials emphasize that supply chains remain \"stable and orderly,\" while volunteers and riders collaborate to drop off packages at designated pickup zones. 🏘️
For young professionals and families under lockdown, the system is a lifeline. \"It’s like a relay race,\" the rider adds. \"We’re all just passing the baton to keep life moving.\" 🏁
