New Year's Eve 2020年除夕

Today is the last day of 2020 and I am sitting in front of my computer reminiscing on the events that occured around me this year. Sadly, the first thing that came to my mind was basically how the pandemic Covid-19 affected us in 2020. It has affected the way we worked, the way we shopped, the way we socialized, travelled (if there was any) and etc. 

As I grew tired of the situation, I heaved a sigh of relief seeing that more vaccines are approved and are going out to the public. It will definitely take time to "tame" the pandemic but it is already a good start :)

However, there are still some highlights for me in 2020. For example, I picked up Tai-chi (24-form) again during the furlough and surprisingly I am starting to appreciate taking long walks in the forest. Besides, I have learned a Qigong (8 Brocades) which was recommended by Linda. And we bought an electric bicycle just in case one of us decides to cycle to work.

Currently, both Taichi and Qigong are my practice routine before going to bed and I am starting to see some positive affects. Let's give it more time and I will write about it one day.

Attached are some pictures and links. Let's us greet the year 2021 with hope and joy!

由于这是2020年的最后一天，我坐在电脑前，默默地回想起今年发生在我周围的事件。可悲的是，我脑海里想到的第一件事是Covid-19的疫情，和它对我们日常生活的影响。它基本上影响了我们的工作方式，购物方式，社交方式，旅行方式（如果有的话）等等。

在这疫情的影响下，我已经倍感厌倦。所以当我透过新闻看到更多的疫苗已获批准并正在向公众发行时，我不禁松了一口气。虽然还需要花些时间来“遏制”这种疫情，但这已经是一个好的开始。

但2020年，对我来说仍然还是有一些亮点。例如，我在休假期间再次学了24式太极拳，令人惊讶的是，我开始体会在森林里散步是一种乐趣。此外，我还学了八段锦气功（琳达推荐的）。我们还买了一辆电动自行车，以防万一我们决定骑自行车上班。

目前，太极拳和气功都是我上床睡觉前的锻炼方式，而我也开始感觉到一些不错的效果。给我一些时间，找一天再跟你们分享！

我在这里附上一些图片和链接，让我们大家开心的迎接2021年的到来吧！
