离去归来都有时候:轨交恢复了,他们回沪了......
车站,人来人往,从不缺离去归来的故事。
上海正进入疫情常态化防控转换阶段,5月22日起,首批4条轨道交通和273条地面公交线路恢复运行。在前往虹桥火车站的地铁10号线上,一些人拎着行李箱,准备启程,离开上海。
While some people are leaving Shanghai due to the COVID-19 epidemic, others are doing the opposite and coming to the city.

但在另一侧站台,列车依旧载着客流朝着这座城而来。疫情之下,他们从哪来?为何来?又是怎样的心情?
Thanks to an easing epidemic situation, the city’s subway lines 3, 6, 10 and 16, as well as 273 bus routes that cover the urban areas and provide access to the city’s airports, railway stations, major hospitals and commercial districts, resumed operations on Sunday.
Restoration of domestic flights and an increase in train services are among the changes in recent days.

“想家,总得回去吧!”
5月23日一大早,57岁的尉美萍拖着箱子,挎着包,从浙江绍兴乘高铁回到上海。坐在地铁10号线上,她感慨:“75天了,终于回来了!”
Wei Meiping, 57, carrying a suitcase and two handbags, arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station on Monday morning.
Passing through a crowd of people departing from the metropolis, she took the subway heading toward the downtown area.
“I’m going home,” she told China Daily. “It’s been 75 days since I left home.”
3月8日,尉美萍接到外甥女的一通急电。挂了电话,她扔下手中正在晾晒的衣服,顾不得关窗,穿上大衣便赶往火车站。原来尉美萍的姐姐生病了,但家住浦东的外甥女由于疫情封控在小区出不来,只好拜托她回老家照顾。
Wei said she went to Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, on March 8 to look after her elder sister, who had been diagnosed with cancer and was to have surgery at the end of March.
彼时,尉美萍没多想,认为用不了几天,外甥女就能来接班,她就回上海了。但到了绍兴,她才得知姐姐病情比较严重。更让她没想到的是,姐姐第一波化疗结束后,浦东已全面封控;又过了几天,浦西也封控了。
Her niece originally planned to take care of her 60-year-old mother, but at that time the woman’s community in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area had been locked down because of COVID-19.
Wei set off without extra daily necessities or enough clothing for a long stay “because I thought I would be back in a few days”.
尉美萍开始纠结。一方面,血浓于水,她觉得自己有责任多陪陪姐姐;另一方面,她也牵挂自己的家,还是想找机会返沪。就这样,整个4月,她在这种情绪中度过。
“I has deep emotions for my sister and I feel the responsibility to look after her, but I also missed my own family so much,” said Wei. After coming to Shanghai to work at the age of 17, this was the first time she had stayed in her hometown, Shaoxing, for such a long time.
“I was sad to see my sister getting weak after chemotherapy, but I was also upset that I couldn’t go back to my own home,” she added.
陪护间隙,她捧着手机,一直在关注上海疫情的消息,或是询问家人的近况。她的丈夫是名保安,疫情发生以来,一直坚守一线;女儿带着外孙住在婆家,每天团购抢菜。“虽然到家也没人,但想家,总得回去吧。”尉美萍说,“到了上海,总感觉离家人近了点,心里踏实点。”
Her husband, a security guard, has been working at the frontline and her daughter has been living with her mother-in-law in Pudong since the epidemic hit the city.
Although there is no one at home, “returning to Shanghai makes me feel closer to them and more secured,” she added.
得知上海部分公共交通线路恢复运行后,她和姐夫商量,买了回沪的车票。
“到家肯定要先打扫下呀,两个多月了,不知得脏成什么样子。”尉美萍笑着说。自17岁到上海后,她通常逢年过节才回绍兴。这一次,是她离沪在老家呆的时间最久的一次。
还没说几句回家后的打算,她忽然哭了出来,“姐姐一家也很难,但愿疫情快点走,好把姐姐接到上海来。”

“我们要去医院”
除了返沪回家的人,地铁10号线开往市区方向的列车上,还有抵沪求医的旅客。
据上观新闻报道,上海轨交恢复运行第一天,浙江台州的舒女士和父亲同行来到了上海。“我们要去医院,胸科医院。”舒女士说。
A woman surnamed Shu took her father to Shanghai from Taizhou, Zhejiang, by train, because he urgently needs a chest examination, Shanghai Observer, a local news portal, reported on Sunday.
老人得了肺病,以前每个月都要到上海看病,因为疫情,过去两个月来沪的计划都没能成行。虽然此行需在杭州中转,但在舒女士看来,只要能到上海治疗,这些麻烦她都不在意。
之前舒女士还担心到了虹桥火车站怕打不到车,但看到上海轨交恢复,舒女士觉得自己很幸运。
“Even though we had to transfer in Hangzhou at least we were finally able to arrive in Shanghai,” Shu was quoted as saying. “We found the metro had resumed after arriving at the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station. We were concerned about whether we could take a taxi to hospital.”

“赶紧开工,我们才有收入”
兰先生也在返沪的人群中。据上观新闻报道,兰先生本在浦东一家工厂务工。2月,他请假回江西老家探亲,打算多陪陪家人3月再回,但谁知疫情来袭,他返沪的计划一拖再拖。
前几天,兰先生的老板联系他,说工厂计划在6月1日复工,问他可否回来。他听后便一直关注着上海城市交通的情况,知道5月22日10号线恢复通行后,他立刻购买了高铁票。
A man surnamed Lan also returned to Shanghai from Jiangxi province on Sunday, because his factory in Pudong will resume operation from June 1, the report in Shanghai Observer said.
“希望工厂能赶紧开工,我们才有收入。”兰先生对上观新闻说。
