More than a month after Hong Kong announced the complete eradication of the SARS virus, Chuxi Village finally lifted the ban that allowed people to leave but not to enter.
Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel sentimental, thinking about how the people from that era faithfully followed the orders from above, unlike more than a decade later when all sorts of odd characters and incidents could arise.
After half a year away, the Xu family of three finally returned to Chuxi Village.
Li Meijuan was running the convenience store today, and after repeated invitations from Yao's mother, she finally agreed to Yao Jiping's kindness.
Because Yao Jiping waived three months of her rent, Li Meijuan felt obliged to help out in the store and clean up.
As the village's first four-wheel vehicle, Xu Aiguo's arrival at the entrance of the village in his car attracted many villagers who stopped to watch.
