On the 28th of March I arrived at Beijing international airport and boarded an airplane, but I wasn't ready to go yet! I was really frightened of the trip and timorous about the journey, remember I'm only eleven years old and this was my first time flying alone under such a circumstance. Covid to me was the most daunting thing that I have ever been a part of, seeing videos of people because carried away to emergency hospitals. There was a very friendly man who escorted me to the aircraft, he was wearing an all white protective suit and an N-95 mask, I didn't see what he looked like but I felt reassured by his presence. We walked quickly and chatted and conversed with a natural tone, this made me feel much more secure. 

The usually crowded airport was deserted. I was wearing three jackets and an uncomfortable N-95 mask, which made me hard to breathe. Even though I was uncomfortable, my "body-guard’’ made me feel like a VIP. I wanted to thank him more but I will never know what he looked like. COVID has completely changed the way humans communicate with each other. 

When I boarded the plane, I felt relieved, because there were only ten of us on board. I didn't see other passengers from my seat, so I let my guard down. Although my mom warned me so many times that I should not take off the mask to eat and drink anything during the flight, I still couldn't bear with the temptation of the Japanese styled beef steak displaying on the beautiful plate which a flight attendent gave me. I sat on a large seat chewing the delicious steak while watching Spider Man and drinking Coca Cola, totally forgetting about the stupid virus, and it was as if I were in a completely different world, another dimension. With a jolt the flight to Japan suddenly halted in front of a big building and it took me some seconds to realize that I had arrived. Suddenly, the reality of the virus hit me and I scrambled to my feet in search of my mask, with relief I finally found my protective mask and hastily put it on.

After landing, I experienced a lot of very unfamiliar tests for symptoms of the COVID-19. It was very nerve-racking. Even though I was being put through eerie tests, I kept thinking of my parents, and how they would appear in the pick-up hall.

Finally, after our three-week separation, I found myself facing my wonderful parents. I was ecstatic. When my shock had pasted, I was on the car. Staring out of the window: skyscrapers, bridges, lights. I figured out that we were not heading toward my aunt’s apartment in Tokyo, but somewhere unknown.

After a long talk with my parents and aunt, I found out that we were heading towards a place called Shiga, and we would be staying in the countryside for quarantine. Then I dived into the world of sleep. I dreamed of getting the virus, how I would be separated with my parents again. It was a nightmare.

Four or five hours later, I woke up in a different world: We were on a mountain with beautiful flowers and plants, and we were going to stay there! It was like the Peach Blossom Spring of Tao Yuanming in real life!

病毒的传播在北京稳定下来之后，我的父母就去日本办事了，原本计划我会在大姨家住二十几天，妈妈爸爸就回来了。但是病毒开始在全球各地肆虐，从日本到中国的很多飞机都被取消了，妈妈爸爸一时半会儿回不来了，我好失望啊。我能早日见到妈妈爸爸的唯一办法就是坐着飞机，冒着会被传染的风险去日本找他们：当时，我就下定决心飞去日本千里千寻找他们，想想自己全副武装好像去执行特殊任务，我就兴奋起来，但我还是很担心会被传染上病毒。

二零二零年三月二十八号一早，我收拾好行装，心里一直在背诵妈妈给我写的安全注意事项。我穿了三层保护外套，带上了我的小口罩上，把自己裹得严严实实的，就这样上路了。

到了机场，我大吃一惊，原来挤满旅客的大厅空空如也，这反而让我的心踏实了许多，这下不会被传染了。办完了登机手续，有一位的从头到脚防护到牙齿的哥哥走到我身边，吓了我一跳，他--就是我的“保镖”，护送我这个单独飞行的大童登机。这位哥哥特别幽默，他一边走一边和我讲笑话，让我浑身紧张的“抗病毒细胞”松弛了下来。等我到了登机口准备和他告别时，才意识到我根本不知道他长什么样儿。特殊时期，人与人沟通的方式都被改变了，我也不知道以后去机场还认得出他吗。

我的飞机今天显得特别大，因为空空荡荡只有十来个乘客，坐在位子上，我根本看不到第二个乘客，这又让我松了口气。到了这一刻，这次冒险旅程对我造成的心理压力好像完全松懈了下来，我暗自欣喜，“这也没什么了不起的嘛。”

飞机起飞了，一位英俊的空少哥哥为我端上了一盘精致的日本牛排，香气扑鼻，让我瞬间想留口水，我完全忘记了妈妈再三叮嘱的什么安全注意事项，我摘下口罩，满足地拿起刀叉，津津有味地开吃了。看着电影，喝着饮料，没戴口罩，也忘记了拿酒精擦手，好像新冠病毒完全是另一个世界的事。不知不觉，我们的飞机居然降落了。我这才醒过神来，空姐提醒我戴上口罩，我赶紧把自己又按照妈妈的指示武装了一下，已经过去的事后悔也来不及了。

下了飞机，我愣住了，虽然我在世界各地经历过很多次旅行，但是从没有见识过这样戒备森严的场面，每个人都戴着防护面具，好像每一个出来的乘客都是带着病毒似的，没有人敢碰我们，都隔着塑料布问问题，量体温，写信息。而让我特别感到温暖的是我身旁的那位不会说中文的飞机乘务员，她始终面带微笑地陪着我，直到把我交给妈妈。

取完行李，我的心又开始砰砰地跳，我就等着通关口开门的那一刹那，这是我期待了三个星期的时刻。忽然，大门开了，妈妈爸爸的身影出现在我眼前，我激动得跳了起来，这一瞬间我才意识到我一路上有多紧张，浑身都湿透了，我满脸通红，我再也不用硬挺着当小英雄了。

激动之余，妈妈把我全身“消毒”了一遍，我当然没敢告诉她我在飞机上吃牛排的事儿。坐上了大妈妈的汽车后，开了一会儿，妈妈才告诉我，我们暂时要离开东京去住在滋贺乡下的好朋友方健叔叔家隔离一段时间。接下来大家又说了什么，我好像在梦里隐隐约约地听见了，但也不记得了。

等我醒来时，好像走入了陶渊明的“桃花源记”，车窗外只见四处樱花盛开，树木茂密，风景如画。我们的车停在了半山的一座房前，我们真的要住在这儿吗？真是如梦以求啊！
