On April 19,Wuhan handed out its first batch of vouchers worth 500 million yuan to all its residents to stimulate consumption.As a result,stores and supermarkets on Han Street and Jiefang Avenue,the two renowned downtown areas in Wuhan,became bustling again with the footsteps of visitors and customers.

Eleven days have passed since April 8,the day restrictions on outbound traffic were lifted in Wuhan,but the prevention and control measures of the epidemic were not relaxed.Wuhan citizens continued to stay at home to help prevent and control the spreading of the disease.Thanks to their combined efforts,the city has been rated as a low-risk area since April 17.

With the improvement of the epidemic situation,Wuhan,after a standstill of two months,has steadily begun resuming its work and production and reopening its markets.In the first week,the average daily trips to and from Wuhan by air,train and highway reached 94,400.The traffic on Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge,Wuhan No.2 Yangtze River Bridge,Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge,and Yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge was evidently on the increase.

4月19日，武漢市5 億元消費(fèi)券首次發(fā)放，惠及全城百姓。楚河漢街、解放大道的商鋪開始熱鬧起來(lái)。

這一天，離武漢“解封”已過(guò)去11 天。

4月8日，武漢交通“解封”了，但疫情防控并沒有“解封”。市民繼續(xù)居家堅(jiān)守，嚴(yán)格防控，英雄的武漢人民終于在4月17日取得全城降為低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)區(qū)的戰(zhàn)績(jī)。

隨著疫情防控形勢(shì)好轉(zhuǎn)，武漢這座“停擺”兩個(gè)多月的城市，正穩(wěn)步復(fù)工復(fù)產(chǎn)復(fù)市。“解封”第一周，通過(guò)鐵路、航空、公路返漢離漢復(fù)工復(fù)產(chǎn)人員日均達(dá)9.44 萬(wàn)人次。武漢長(zhǎng)江大橋、武漢長(zhǎng)江二橋、楊泗港長(zhǎng)江大橋、鸚鵡洲長(zhǎng)江大橋等大橋上，行駛車輛明顯增多。

這座英雄的城市，驅(qū)散疫霾，繁華漸歸。經(jīng)歷這場(chǎng)從未有過(guò)的慘烈戰(zhàn)“疫”，武漢市民心緒逐步平靜，他們井然有序地走出樓房，逛商場(chǎng)，品小吃，漫步綠道、江灘，即便綿綿春雨，也擋不住他們對(duì)春天的向往與熱愛。盡管不斷開啟的商業(yè)門店，還未能恢復(fù)到疫情前的高峰客流，但這座雄踞中部的物流重鎮(zhèn)，正努力開拓線上線下各種商貿(mào)形態(tài)，力圖盡快再展新姿。盡管這座以重工業(yè)與高新技術(shù)名揚(yáng)天下的大都市壓力重重，但她正在展現(xiàn)的動(dòng)力與活力，讓人們充滿信心，翹首以待。

After the calamitous epidemic,this heroic city is regaining its vitality; after the war against this unprecedented horrible coronavirus epidemic,Wuhan residents are calming down.In good order,they come out of their communities to go shopping,enjoy their favorite snacks,and take a stroll on the greenway and the river beach.Even the continuous rain can not hold back their zest for spring.Although the gradually reopening stores there attract much less customers than they were in its peak time,Wuhan,as an important logistics center in Central China,is exploring various online and off-line forms of commerce and trade so as to take on new looks.

The city,known for its heavy industry and advanced technology,faces great pressure in recovering its economy.However,the dynamism and vitality it is demonstrating reassure its people that this hard-hit city will be reborn and have an even brighter future.(Translation: Liu Jie)
