Quarantined Chinese citizens say life boring, but easy
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-05-05 20:24 Guangzhou was among China's hardest-hit cities during the 2003 SARS outbreak. "I had planned to stay in a hotel instead of going home directly after I arrived in Guangzhou that night, but my 70-year-old mother wouldn't hear of it," he said.
"Meals are free, although they are not so good as my wife's cooking," he said. "I watch TV and talk to friends via telephone everyday. My factory director stays in a room next to me now." He said for the sake of other people's health, he had asked his 11-year-old daughter to take a week's leave from school and asked his family to stay indoors as much as possible. "To be frank, I think it would have been better if I was quarantined at an earlier date, say, in Shanghai. In that case, I wouldn't have worried that I would bring trouble to my family and other people," he said.
