Following the resurgence of sporadic COVID-19 cases, many places across China have encouraged residents and migrant workers to stay put to celebrate the Spring Festival, to reduce the flow of personnel and curb the spread of the coronavirus during the holiday period. Huang Hailong, a migrant worker in Shishi, said it would be his first time in past years to spend the holiday in Shishi instead of his hometown in the city of Suining, southwest China's Sichuan province. Although living with his wife and younger son Congcong, Huang is still missing his parents and elder son who live in the hometown. He made down jackets, protective sleeves, pillows and aprons for them and posted those gifts back home. (Xinhua/Song Weiwei)
