The fall semester of 2020 has not yet started, and students would face into a new online education. Under the ravage of COVID-19, people's actions were limited everywhere. But in this early morning, in sunshine that broke through thick clouds, a little girl was running on the playground. The metal isolation device next to it reminded people of the bad situation, and the damaged football net was even more depressed. However, the little girl's firm and brisk pace, in this quiet and empty field, spread a hopeful sound - Hope the epidemic will end ASAP, and our lives will return to normal!
