A month has passed since the summer vacation started. During this period of time, some people have traveled to the great rivers and mountains of our motherland, some people have participated in volunteer teaching, social practice and other activities...... But unfortunately, I've been at home for almost the whole month because of the pandemic.
暑假已经过去一个月，在这段时间里，有些人游历了祖国的大好河山，有些人参加了支教，社会实践等活动……但不幸的是，这一整个月我几乎都待在家里——因为疫情。
It all happened so suddenly that there was no time for me to react - not long after I got home, the county where my hometown was located was locked down. The day before yesterday, I was able to go shopping with my friends, while today, I could only stay indoors to obey the epidemic prevention and control work. The busy streets became empty and the city seemed to fall into a deep sleep as the people disappeared. Fortunately, my family and my cat were with me, which kept me from feeling too lonely.
一切都发生得太突然，让人来不及反应——回到家没多久，我的家乡所在的县城就被封控了。前天我还能和朋友一起出去逛街，今天我就只能配合疫情防控工作闭门不出。人来人往的街道变得空空荡荡，城市仿佛随着行人的消失陷入了沉睡，好在我的家人和我的猫都陪伴着我，让我不至于觉得太寂寞。
Space was limited, but there were plenty of things to do. I continued to make video clips and shared my favorite things with the audience in a cheerful way, which had won the love and support of some people and attracted some people to become my friends. While watching my videos, they could relax in the gap of life and got direct happiness. In addition, I did some fan-creations and posted them on public platforms. Every kudos and every comment I received gave me great encouragement. Whether you are making a video clip or creating a piece of writing, you're going to encounter some difficulties in the production process, but if someone is able to watch your works and get positive emotional value from them, you're going to think these difficulties are nothing at all.
虽然活动空间有限，但可以做的事情也有不少。我继续做视频剪辑，把我喜欢的事物以欢快的方式分享给观众，获得了一些人的喜爱和支持，也吸引了一些人成为我的同好，让他们在生活的间隙里放松下来，获得直接的快乐。此外，我还进行了一些同人创作，并将它们发布到公共平台上，收到的每一个kudos和每一条评论都给了我极大的鼓舞。无论是视频剪辑还是写作，在创作的过程中免不了要遇上一些困难，但如果有人能够看到你的作品，从中获得正向的情绪价值，你就会觉得这些挫折根本算不了什么。
Another thing that made me happy was that the cotton dolls I was responsible for selling had finally started to be shipped. I'd changed three manufacturers to make a satisfactory sample and it took me a long time to formally complete the sales. This experience had given me a strong sense of responsibility - he is not just an ordinary cotton doll, in my mind, he is more like my "child". I personally experienced every link of his birth from proofing to shipping, which was just like cultivating a child to grow up. I was also very happy when I see that they were sent to their new "mommies" and brought them happiness.
还有一件令我开心的事是，我负责贩售的棉花娃娃终于开始发货了。经历了三次换厂的波折才顺利做出满意的样品并正式完成贩售，这段经历赋予了我强烈的责任感——他不只是一个普通的棉花娃娃，在我心里他是如同我的“孩子”一般的存在，从打样到出货的每一个环节我都要亲历亲为，就像亲自培养一个孩子长大。看到他们被送到他们的新“妈咪”手中，给她们带去快乐，我也会感到非常高兴。
Although the pandemic has limited people's travel, it cannot prevent people from communicating emotionally in the information age. If you can't go out and see the outside on your own, you can let go of the emotions first to feel the small happiness of the world with their help and be emotionally stable people.
尽管疫情限制了人们的出行，但在信息化的时代，它阻止不了人们情感上的交流。如果无法亲自走出去看看，那就先放飞情绪，让它们帮助我们去感受人间的小确幸，做情绪稳定的人吧。
