Raquel Montes, a
Spanish national, moved to China last November, where she said she had her
first lockdown (封闭) experience during the
COVID-19. "I think I'm just being patient. I'm totally connected all the
time with people. I have many friends calling me all the time. And I'm working
at home. So it's OK for me," said she. She has also been keeping positive
and happy. She does dance every day.
It's her neighbor
Melinda who invited her to do voluntary work. The Spaniard said, "I'm
happy to help because the security guys are bringing packages to us all the
time and they must be exhausted. I also want to feel that I'm doing something
for others." Montes and other volunteers delivered bakery products to
their neighbors, put the boxes in front of the door, knocked and left.
"It was quite
fun," she recalled. "When I went home that day, I felt much better
because I did something and I got some fresh air. It was a good feeling. I told
Melinda, if they need me, I can go every day and help out." Through
voluntary work, Montes has come to know more Chinese and foreigners, and became
friends with them.
Montes also celebrated
a very special birthday on April 11—under lockdown. "For me, my birthday
is a big day and I always celebrate it like a party," she stated. "I
wasn't expecting much this year. I wasn't expecting flowers or any feast. But
it was so much fun because I got surprises." A friend who was locked down
in her office managed to get flowers for her. Montes gushed, "I also had
many phone calls from my friends around the world. " Before midnight that
day, Melinda knocked on her door and asked her to check the chair outside.
Surprisingly, she saw a small cake and candles prepared by neighbors.
"I have
everything, a cake, candles, and flowers. It was great, " she said.
