We have a safety exercise every year and people will work at home in that day and we just go out and play.
And this time it was a real typhoon.
When we do typhoon exercise. Usually it is a sunny day.

If the typhoon comes and colleagues will call you, maybe we have to call other colleagues. There is a call tree.
Our colleagues will send a message in the WeChat group and inform all people the call tree is no use.
and the typhoon exercise usually in the Friday before so one year our boss is angry and said it cannot do on Friday because the organizer wants to have a short vacation.

For many years the typhoon.

Then he take a train to Nanjing and transfer to Beijing. After that the covid 19 happened but it was in the airport so he takes a train. he is safe but his colleague is unlucky because he has the same experience from SH to Beijing and the flight to Nanjing so he has to transfer to Beijing again but covid 19 happened then he stayed for 14.

I went to Beijing 10 years ago, I don’t like the city. it is old and the sky is grey.
The people is not friendly because I saw when I first in Beijing I go out the Beijing station and I saw a man slap a woman.
So I don’t like Beijing.
