Reporter Dai Yuxiang / Taipei Report
The Central Epidemic Command Center has tightened quarantine measures for incoming passengers since the 15th. Even so, there are still a large number of Taiwanese businessmen returning home for the New Year. Before boarding the plane at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, Mr. Wu, a Taiwanese businessman, was interviewed by Sanli News and said that he will return home 10 months after leaving his wife and 6-year-old son. The four words “close to hometown and cowardice,” Mr. Wu, who has always been firm, told reporters: “Perhaps when you hear the welcome home, you will really cry!”

Mr. Wu, a Taiwanese businessman, said that he has not returned home for 10 months and that he misses his family very much. So even though it may not be easy to return, you still have to go home for the New Year and may be very used to “isolation as normal life” in the future.
When the reporter asked that Mr. Wu was about to go home and could see his wife and children, how did you feel? The talkative Mr. Wu was silent for 3 seconds before slowly pronouncing the 4 words “close to hometown cowardice”. From this, we can feel that it is a long time to be away from home for 10 months. And Mr. Wu also told reporters, “Maybe when you hear the welcome home, you will really cry!” Because the current atmosphere really makes it difficult to control emotions, after all, he really did go home.

Mr. Wu said that, in fact, many people choose not to return to Taiwan during the New Year because the cost is too high. Since there is still an empty house in my own home, I can go through home quarantine and abide by the “one person, one room” quarantine rule. You don’t have to leave to stay at an epidemic prevention hotel, so you can save money. Because even though the current price for anti-epidemic hotels is 2,800 yuan per night, if you don’t book early, you can’t get it. “I have a friend who returned to Taiwan on January 11, but there are only 8,000 yuan left per night. In the epidemic prevention hotel, living is almost like cutting meat.”
And since I still have a job in China, I still have to isolate myself again in the past, but the regulations of each province in China are different, the most basic is Xiamen “14 + 7”, but there are other provinces who have heard of “14 + 14”, and they were eliminated immediately. 28 days, if there are not many holidays, it is really difficult to achieve and it is not profitable. Mr. Wu said, “Let’s take Xiamen as an example. The epidemic prevention hotel ranges from 300 to 800 yuan (about NT $ 1,297 to 3,458) per night, which is not a small expense in calculation.”
