CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- More than a month ago, in the mountain city, shuttered houses and shops seemed to be normal and the whole city seemed to have entered into hibernation. Accustomed to the hustle and bustle of crowds, when the statue wore a mask, the long street looked particularly lonely. A month later, the camera framed the sculptures endowed with cultural implications again. The black-and-white and gray city “sketch” became a gorgeous oil painting again, and people returned to life to build the most beautiful scenery on the street corner.

More than a month ago, to remind people to wear masks for epidemic prevention, photographers also wore masks for sculptures on street corners. Located in Bayi Food Street, the landmark of Jiefangbei, Chongqing, the sculpture of three girls “standing” at street corner has lost its audience.

Up to March 25, the average daily flow of people in Jiefangbei Business Circle returned to 85%. In order to actively encourage and stimulate consumption, Yuzhong District provided free consumption coupons and cards of 10 million yuan to the public, and organized 50 large shopping malls, 500 commercial and tourism enterprises and 50,000 merchants to launch promotion activities.

The sculpture of “old hotpot man” is also the symbol of Bayi Food Street. The sculpture vividly showed the leisure of Chongqing people when they were eating hotpot. During the outbreak of the epidemic, he was the only one left to “enjoy” the hotpot.

As the situation of the epidemic prevention and control continues to be improved, today, dozens of shops along the Food Street welcomed diners. This famous food street in the mountain city has the aroma of all kinds of food again, and is still a good place for foodies.

On February 18, looking from a high place, the roadside flowers were blooming. They dotted with the Three Gorges Square, but no one appreciated them.

On March 27, when the lights were lit on, the night became tender. After a busy day, people walked, took photos and chatted in the square, and gradually returned to normal life.

More than a month ago, a main road on Nanbin Road was equally deserted. There was no traffic on the normally noisy rod, and the statues of people were put on masks, making this place seem lonely.

As enterprises gradually resumed work and production, vehicles on the road were gradually increasing. In the early morning commute, some netizens said, “Familiar life is back, this is our vibrant city.”

Jialing Park, located in the Guanyinqiao Business Circle, was deserted because of the epidemic.

On March 27, Jialing Park, an urban green area next to Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street, welcomed children laughing and playing again. The plants in the park also grew tender green leaves, and everything was reviving.

In Yangjiaping Pedestrian Street, a sculptural giant stood alone in the street holding up a tree trunk, and looked at the scene in the movie as if he had passed away.

Different from more than a month ago, the number of people who went out gradually increased. The huge billboard on the street read “Spring is Warm and the Earth is Reborn after the Epidemic”. The color of the city has returned, and the whole city is waking up in the spring. People stroll on the streets, feeling the quiet years and the promising future.
