I saw the news about the torrential rain in Henan when I woke up today. At that time, I thought it was just an extreme weather and it might be fine in a couple days, until I read that some of the ground in Zhengzhou had collapsed and many people were trapped inside the underground, then I realised the seriousness of this issue.
I don't know what's going on at home right now, how is everybody doing, is there any water or electricity outages at home ...... I would never imagined something like this would happen in our hometown when I was about to go back.
It is still quite difficult for international students to go home this year and it is still hard to purchase a ticket.
I will go back at the end of August this year. I spent a long time waiting before I bought my ticket because I was told that after the direct flight is available, the embassy would not issue Health Code for connecting passengers and then they would not be able to go to China.
I waited until the beginning of July.At first I bought a flight on 7th September, but a week later I had to switch to 21st August because I couldn't get a seat and that was the only flight I could get for cheaper and available at that time. It cost me RMB 25,000, but at least I have the ticket to get back home.
I will be connecting in Finland with a 17 hour layover at the airport and even though I have had two vaccinations, I am not sure if I will catch the Covid. It will be a long and tough journey home, but I am happy to be back with the family in the end and I am looking forward to that day.
It's been a year since I've seen you all. I wonder if the younger siblings have grown, and I hope that Henan can get through the hard times quickly, and then I can see you all as soon as possible.
今天一觉醒来就看到河南下暴雨的新闻了，当时我只以为是个极端天气，可能过两天就好了，但直到我看到郑州很多地面因为积水长时间浸泡，然后出现了坍塌，也有很多人都被困在了地铁5号线里边，我才意识到了问题的严重性。
也不知道现在家里边什么情况，大家都好不好，家里边有没有停水停电啊……没想到我在快回去的时候家乡出了这样的事情。
今年留学生回去还是挺难的，机票还是挺难买的。我是今年8月底回去，当时买这个机票的时候我就一直在等，因为当时说的是直飞出来之后，转机大使馆就不给发绿码了，到时候转机就不能坐了。然后直到我等到了7月初，我当时是买了9月7号的航班，然后大概等了一周之后，说是申请不到座位，所以我临时又换了8月21号的航班，那是我当时能买到的相对便宜并且唯一能买到现票的航班了，虽然是花了25，000块钱，但是总归是能买到机票，能回到家里边。
我是在芬兰转机，中间要停留17个小时，虽然我打了两针疫苗，但是不知道有没有风险会感染上新冠。虽然时间比较长，路途也比较坎坷吧算是，但是最后总归是能回到家人身边，还是挺欣慰的，也非常期待那天的到来。
也一年没有见到你们了，不知道弟弟妹妹长高了没有，也希望河南能够平安快快的度过难关，然后我也能尽早的见到你们。
