It's no use being unhappy, you must declare as required. But you have successfully arrived in Shanghai and returned to school. Today is the first day of school.

You stay in your hometown, but you find that on the one hand, you have no suitable reason to miss the classes. On the other hand, even if you don't go to other cities, your travel in the local area is subject to various restrictions without information declaration. <style>img{ max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src=https://www.healthshots.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/covid-19-and-anxiety-and-mental-health-370x207.jpg></div> At this time, you have to declare your relevant information to the government and finally leave for Shanghai. (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[Continue->5]]

For the needs of the experiment, you will go to three different cities in Beijing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You find that these places have different health information registration systems, and you need to apply for the health codes of these three different places respectively, <style>img{ max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src=https://gimg2.baidu.com/image_search/src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yueyang.gov.cn%2Fgtj%2Fuploadfiles%2F201808%2F20180827100153511010.png&refer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yueyang.gov.cn&app=2002&size=f9999,10000&q=a80&n=0&g=0n&fmt=auto?sec=1653938432&t=93ef362894c68c9e5b9d8f4cc08b91ee> </div> At this point, you think, (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[A. It doesn't matter.]] (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[B. It is a little bit troublesome.]]

During the journey, you find that many elderly people are unable to travel at airports, railway stations and other places because they can't use smart phones to declare information and obtain health codes. They linger helplessly and can't go to the cities they want to go to work, see doctors or visit their children, <style>img{ max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src=https://news.cgtn.com/news/7767444e78517a4d7955444d3559544d7a63444f31457a6333566d54/img/515f00af227a4448880a7bdf44e3884a/515f00af227a4448880a7bdf44e3884a.jpeg> </div> At this point, you are, (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[A. Very sad, since these old people are so poor.]] (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[B.

Even if you feel very troublesome, you still have to apply for different health codes in three places in order to travel smoothly. During the journey, you find that many elderly people are unable to travel at airports, railway stations and other places because they can't use smart phones to declare information and obtain health codes.

You have such a good heart. But while caring for others, you may need to take better care of yourself, because... When you finish the experimental project and leave for Shanghai, you find yourself unlucky to be infected with the virus. You were forcibly taken away for isolation and treatment. You find that Internet users are not always full of sympathy for confirmed cases, and some even complain and criticize confirmed cases, <style>img{ max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src=https://www.heart.org/-/media/Images/News/2020/September-2020/0924CoronavirusStigma_SC.jpg> </div> At this point, you think/are, (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[A. I don't care. I just want to recover as soon as possible.]] (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[B. Some sad, you have become a minority in society, being denounced, not understood and cared for.]]

It seems that this trip has given you some precious reflection on the relationship between digitization and the body. However... When you finish the experimental project and leave for Shanghai, you find yourself unlucky to be infected with the virus. You were forcibly taken away for isolation and treatment. You find that Internet users are not always full of sympathy for confirmed cases, and some even complain and criticize confirmed cases, <style>img{ max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src=https://www.heart.org/-/media/Images/News/2020/September-2020/0924CoronavirusStigma_SC.jpg> </div> At this point, you think/are, (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[A.

But when you read WhatsApp's group chat during the isolation treatment, you're depressed to realize that even your closest alumni don't care about your body and mental health. They jokingly refer to you patients who have tested positive with icon "🐑" in group chat, making fun of this and treat it as a funny and easy thing. //(The Chinese pronunciation of "positive test result" is the same as that of "sheep", so someone directly refers to and materializes the patients with sheep's emoji “🐑”)//. <style>img{ max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src=https://www.aptnnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Indigenous-Covid-stigma-2-web.jpg> </div> At this point, you feel, (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[A. Sad, I don't care what others think, but I do care about the understanding of people closer to me.]] (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[B. Not sad, Materialization and digital tagging will weaken the perception of real body and real identity.]]

You are so sad. Besides, when you read WhatsApp's group chat during the isolation treatment, you're so depressed to realize that even your closest alumni don't care about your body and mental health, neither. They jokingly refer to you patients who have tested positive with icon "🐑" in group chat, making fun of this and treat it as a funny and easy thing. //(The Chinese pronunciation of "positive test result" is the same as that of "sheep", so someone directly refers to and materializes the patients with sheep's emoji “🐑”)//. <style>img{ max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src=https://www.aptnnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Indigenous-Covid-stigma-2-web.jpg> </div> At this point, you feel, (text-colour:#6F8B51)[[A.
