The quarantine days for an international student from China
Description (Dublin Core)
The picture shows the Chinese herbal medicine I had for nearly a month when I was quarantined in the US. This picture shows my desperation and helplessness as an international student from China, and what I can do to protect me from being infected by the virus.
I believe that international students from China in the US during the Coronavirus crisis suffer most. Since the beginning of the 2020, we worried about the safety and health of our family in China; during the March to April, when virus spread rapidly across the US, we were restricted from going back home; and even if we went back home, we still encountered discrimination and misunderstanding of other Chinese people.
In the US, we are also the loneliest and most vulnerable groups—we were all afraid of getting out, so we had quarantine at home by ourselves. To prevent us from being infected, we started to have Chinese herbal medicine (as showed in the photo). I drank the medicine for nearly a month because the medicine was the only things I had to make me feel safe and relieved.
