Leaf Greener flew home to Shanghai after nearly three months abroad, but upon arrival, she was told she couldn’t go home just yet. Instead, she was escorted to a “quarantine center” in the Xuhui District.
might change your mind. Until today, the fashion consultant and journalist hadn’t been home since mid-January, when she left Shanghai for Europe to attend the marathon of menswear, couture, and ready-to-wear shows. She left Paris in early March to spend a few weeks with her boyfriend in Hong Kong, but couldn’t stay any longer due to immigration policies.
[laughs] It was a surprise… I found out when I landed at the airport in Shanghai. I was in Hong Kong for three weeks, I went there straight from Paris. [While I was in Hong Kong] on the 28th of March, China changed its travel policy. Anyone coming into China from overseas, no matter where they were coming from—including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao—everyone would have to stay in the quarantine center.
My boyfriend is French, and the difficult thing is that he can’t come visit me in China, because they banned all foreigner visas, and of course I can’t go back to see him, because the Hong Kong government hasn’t opened the border to mainland Chinese yet. So that’s why I wanted to stay as long as I could, because we don’t know when we’re going to see each other again.It won’t feel “normal” in Shanghai until the vaccine is ready. Shanghai is getting back to a “new normal.
I read a lot, especially nerdy material, like the Lancet Journal… I love reading about natural science, or medical reports—I love it. I’m doing a bit of work as well. Right now I’m focusing on my consulting work, which I can do in one place [as opposed to traveling] and do my research remotely. And every day, I clean the entire room. This center doesn’t have a cleaning service, we have to do everything ourselves. Cleaning is like meditation for me.
