Combo photo shows Nie Huachen making a hand heart gesture to his family in Fuxing office of SF Express in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, Feb. 10, 2021 (L, photo taken by Mao Siqian), and his family members making hand heart gestures at home in Tongxu County, central China's Henan Province, Feb. 10, 2021 (R, photo taken by Li Jianan). Nie Huachen is a dispatcher of Fuxing office in Shenzhen, SF Express. He came to SF Express eight years ago and became a delivery man. This year he chose to stay put at his position during the Spring Festival, as many customers planned to spend the festival locally in Shenzhen. As a part of the preventative measures against COVID-19, China has encouraged people to stay locally for the Chinese New Year. Many Chinese chose not to go back to their hometowns for family gatherings, opting instead to stay where they were for the most important holiday of the year. Xinhua reporters helped those who didn't go back to their hometowns "reunite" with their families in pictures. (Xinhua)
