Zhengzhou Foxconn staged the real version of "The Way Back": Only then did I understand the true weight of the word "China"

Do you have any idea about the 100km road?


If you are driving at high speed, it will take about 2 hours.


So what about walking?


"From the factory to the hometown, the distance of more than 100 kilometers, even if it does not stop around the clock, it takes more than 40 hours." pseudonym).


Beginning on October 29, Zhang Yu saw that many of his colleagues packed up and walked out of the factory overnight. In the beginning, the gate of the factory area was still tightly closed. By the morning of the 30th, it was completely released.


Every employee who walks out of the factory area is full of fear and fear. Many people plan to go home, but the way home is far away.


In Zhengzhou Foxconn, there are more than 300,000 workers, most of them are from the province. Many people's hometowns are far away from Zhengzhou.


But under the epidemic, even if the way home is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, many people have to climb back.


With a large number of Foxconn employees returning home on foot, the topic Zhengzhou Foxconn quickly flew to the hot search and quickly detonated public opinion.


Those employees who left Foxconn took Zhengzhou as the center and walked on their way home.


You can see them on major media platforms.


Some people "wear the moon", from day to night, they don't dare to delay a moment, they just want to go home quickly; Take two bites out of the bread.




Sunrise and sunset; day and night, non-stop.


A group of people made a simple but heavy long-distance trek, and used actions to interpret the modern version of " Homecoming ". In the


movie, the diplomat Zong Dawei ( Zhang Yi) resolutely chose to "retrograde", with his bare hands, through the war and the desert, and under the guns of the local rebel army, he led his compatriots out of an extremely difficult road home.



In reality, countless ordinary Foxconn employees choose to use the most direct and hardest way to run thousands of miles and return to their roots.


netizens commented:


"It's hard for me to imagine that such a thing could happen in today's environment!" …”


was surprised, worried, and puzzled.


Zhengzhou Foxconn, what happened?




From Yicai "Foxconn Internal Staff Self-report: How Did the Chaos Cause It? ” and some interviews and reports on other platforms, we generally get a glimpse of the whole picture of the incident.


About half a month ago, that is, around mid-October, a positive case appeared in the Foxconn campus, and then the number of infections increased.


Soon, Foxconn started closed-loop management , mobilizing people living outside the port area to live in the company's dormitory.


On October 16, Foxconn employees living outside the park have all moved into dormitories, hotels, schools and other places. After the concentration of employees, the company has implemented closed-loop management and point-to-point commuting.


Starting from October 19th, Foxconn Zhengzhou Park has set up inspection points in each building, and issued an announcement on the same day:


"In order to cooperate with the government's epidemic prevention measures, catering establishments have cancelled dine-in, and Zhengzhou Comprehensive Insurance Zone has cancelled dine-in meals since October 19th. From 15:00 onwards, all employees will return to their dorms for meals, and the company will provide three meals a day for employees who normally attend each business group in the Zhengzhou Park.” Not only that, but in this notice, Foxconn has made very detailed regulations on the behavior of employees:


For example, "simplify personal itinerary, dormitory (residence) and park are two points and one line, reduce unnecessary travel trajectories, and enter the factory area, you must provide a 24-hour nucleic acid negative certificate before entering the second-line gate." N95 masks, it is strictly forbidden to take off the mask in the factory area and on the road, and you can take off the mask after entering the bedroom where you live.”


Also, “Do quick hand disinfection every hour when working at the workstation, before and after going to the toilet and drinking water. Wash hands and perform hand disinfection. After use, masks, gloves, disinfectant wipes, etc. should be put into medical waste trash cans (yellow buckets). Tools and seats are wiped and disinfected."


From October 21, Foxconn began to implement "nucleic acid + antigen" twice a day.


This was confirmed from an interview with Jiemian News.


Ms. Kang from around Zhengzhou said: "About half a month ago, my husband who works at Foxconn told me that there was a positive case in the park. Our husband works in the office and is asked not to leave. We have food and accommodation in the office."


With the continuous escalation of epidemic prevention and control measures, many employees are sensitive to smelling different "dangerous smells" than before.


was also at this time, and a rumor on the Internet that "about 20,000 people were diagnosed in Foxconn Park in Zhengzhou" spread like wildfire.





One stone made a thousand waves.


Foxconn employees, already highly nervous, start to panic. In desperation, many people choose to return to their hometowns.


However, at noon on October 26, Foxconn Technology Group issued a statement stating that the information circulating on the Internet is seriously untrue.


The truth is:


On the whole, the epidemic prevention situation in the park is stable and improving. The restaurants in the park will gradually resume dine-in from October 29, and currently they can guarantee 200,000 people free three meals a day.


On October 30, Foxconn's parent company Hon Hai stated in a public statement that for some employees who are willing to return home, the park has cooperated with the government to organize personnel and vehicles to provide employees with point-to-point orderly return home services.



At this time, those who set foot on the road back to their hometown in advance also received a special gift.


On October 31, Wang Hua (pseudonym), who had returned to Fangcheng County, Nanyang City, from the Foxconn Park, recalled his return home.


"Walk by myself, walk with fellow villagers, and walked 50 kilometers."


Wang Hua's hometown Fangcheng is about 200 kilometers away from Foxconn Park.


"On the way, I met a lot of people who put food and drink, and those people also cared about you and gave you food when they passed the temporary stop. But we came from Foxconn after all, and we will keep up with them. Distance."



In order to catch up with the fellow who was walking ahead, Wang Hua, who was pushing the suitcase, could only speed up his pace, and finally caught up at around 2 am on the 30th.


"I'm really tired. I don't want to go at all. My feet are swollen and my feet are worn out." I learned on the Internet that I was lucky, and many people went back to their hometown on foot.


At 11:00 p.m. on October 29th, Juanjuan (pseudonym), who also departed from Foxconn Park, had been walking for 10 hours on the way back to Kaifeng , and there were still 3 hours left to return home.


was very tiring along the way, and I saw many colleagues in the same industry. Fortunately, I met enthusiastic people who gave her water, dry noodles, and fruit...



"The sister who was riding a tricycle bought an apple on the ground and said to let it go. We ate on the way, and left when we finished, and an elder brother chased us for a few miles to deliver food."


Juanjuan said that she was "moved to tears" when she saw that scene.


And Foxconn employees like Wang Hua and Juanjuan, there are many more along the way. But invariably, they all received care supplies from their hometown elders for free.


Some people travel thousands of miles and make a special trip to deliver water and dry food; some people specially buy supplies and put them quietly on the way back to their hometown... The lonely moments are warmed up.




On the other side of Henan, open letters to Foxconn workers have been published in succession:


"Those who really need to return home must report to the village or community where they are going to return in advance, and explain the time of return, the means of transportation and other relevant information;


implement "point-to-point" transfer, emphasizing that returnees need to arrive at designated places according to different modes of transportation At the stuck point, the epidemic prevention personnel will carry out closed-loop transfer;


emphasizes isolation measures, some areas implement home isolation, and there are also areas where the epidemic prevention and control headquarters make unified arrangements to implement centralized isolation and medical observation for returnees." Foxconn employees in the township have been properly resettled; after the quarantine, they are about to embark on a new journey.


saw some netizens say:


"The same thing, if it was put in a few years ago, maybe it would have been different. But at this moment, although we have been together for a long time, we live together on the same land. It's very touching."


When you are on the other side of the mountain, I am running towards you without end.


experienced the epidemic, whether it is a soldier in white who is carrying a heavy load, or an ordinary person who is ordinary and persevering, everyone is shining within the scope of their ability and contributing their meager strength.


One side is in trouble, and all sides support it, it has already become our belief and is engraved in the bone marrow;


Great China, Dahua Zhouxing.


How fortunate, we were born in Kyushu Huaxia, how fortunate we were born in Splendid China.


is willing to send China with an inch of heart, and give the years to the mountains and rivers.
