This year, however, Li and his wife decided to stay put for the Lunar New Year holiday, heeding the state's call to curb the spread of COVID-19 with reduced travels. As the Festival approaches, purchases for holiday celebration account for greater proportion in Li's daily deliveries. "Many people are staying put during this Spring Festival, so they choose to send their best wishes home with these special purchases," Li said, adding that he would stick to his post and convey such kindness to the intended ones.
