Phone plant rings correct COVID response

Li Peilong, 29, is a relative newcomer to the plant. He has been working in the human resources department since June 2021. For him, the last six months were all about COVID-19 as he and his colleagues were tasked with purchasing and transporting epidemic-themed materials for the whole factory.

"It was a huge task, given the number of people at the factory, as well as the fact that many colleagues fell ill and asked for sick leave," said Li, a native of Xinmi, a county-level city near Zhengzhou.

His new year wish is to go home for a family reunion in January, and then enjoy a dinner party with the colleagues he worked alongside amid the epidemic.

"I am eagerly looking forward to that day," he said.
