The Chinese people's revolution has gone through hardships, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen's will has only been realized so far. I pray that Mr. Sun will come to the north to participate in this great cause of the people's history and give guidance on how to build a new China.As for how to go from Shanghai to north, Mengxing [1] has been told to cut business with Hannian and Zhonghua [2], and safety is always the first priority.Sincerely, I look forward to hearing from you.
