Expat center celebrating Shanghai's return to normalcy

A total of 61 children from a dozen countries and regions who live in Shanghai joined a special online activity to celebrate International Children's Day and also the city's return to normal on Wednesday.

While doing quizzes and playing games with each other, those aged from 5 to 12 shared their stories during the lockdown and thanked people who fought the COVID-19 outbreak in the past two months.

The event was organized by The Expatriate Center, a non-profit organization that serves the expatriate community in Shanghai.

"Today is indeed a day of double happiness. I hope you had the opportunity to go out for outdoor fun and play, feel the wind in your faces, hear the birds chirp and smell the blooming flowers!" said Linda Painan, chairperson of TEC.

"May the smile on your faces be an invitation of friendship as you grow to be an ambassador of love to the world around you!"
