This is a simple feeling, but there is a tortuous story behind it.


In February 4th, the "Keqiao media" (the original "Keqiao daily") WeChat public issue issued tweets "help!" A businessman in Keqiao searched over three continents and spent millions of dollars to buy 400 thousand masks. Now she can't come back, "tells Xia Yanhong that the new crown pneumonia epidemic raged in China, and the home people's masks are in urgent need. The District Committee is also calling on members of the association of green merchants. As a native Keqiao young entrepreneur, she made the first response to mobilize customers in Asia, America and Europe. Buy mask. With all efforts, she spent nearly one million yuan in India to buy 400 thousand common medical masks. Those who know that people are not as good as the weather are affected by the ban issued by the India government in January 31st on the export of personal protective materials such as masks. These masks are not transported back to India.


The story quickly exploded the Internet. Keqiao daily WeChat public number of the tweets read 75 thousand, background messages nearly 300, Shaoxing released WeChat public number, Zhejiang news client, China Textile Network, Sohu network and other media forwarded, Yue Niu news, China news network, watching news and other media also follow up reports, countless people moved by Xia Yanhong's love, but also for these batch of mask materials and anxious.


Xia Yanhong told reporters: on the day of the report, she could not remember exactly how many calls she had received, and the fact that she wanted to make a WeChat voice phone could not do anything about the interface cover. Helpless, she had to send a circle of friends, I hope you do not call her for the time being, there is a suitable way to convey the text.


The government concerned is also actively involved. "The Shaoxing Foreign Affairs Office reported to the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, and the provincial foreign affairs office sent a letter to the Chinese Embassy in India. Everyone helped me figure out a way." Those days, though Xia Yanhong was very tired, his heart was always warm. Embassies, customs, India chamber of Commerce and other aspects are actively communicating and consulting with India. "I wait for the first time to submit all kinds of materials."


Speaking of a few days' experience, the woman businessman who had seen the wind and waves had mixed feelings. Some people are offering various ways to help these masks to return home. Some people suggest that if they do not come back, why not sell masks in India to earn a fortune? Another question is whether there are 400 thousand masks. All kinds of "bad" voice, Xia Yanhong laughed all over.


The turnaround took place around 11 p.m. on February 8th. Xia Yanhong finally waited for a good news. On the 8 day, the General Administration of foreign trade of the Ministry of Commerce and industry of India officially announced that the lifting of the ban in India included medical disposable masks, medical surgical masks and the export of all kinds of gloves except for NBR gloves. When she brushed the news online, she jumped with joy. This means that her masks can finally be shipped back. Immediately, she arranged the emergency delivery of the staff in India to the logistics company to arrange the export.


At 23 pm on February 14th, Xia Yanhong's masks took off from Bombay Airport and arrived at Hong Kong International Airport second days later. In February 18th, these masks landed at the Pudong airport, after customs clearance, sorting and transportation. Today, these masks have finally arrived in Keqiao. Xia Yanhong gave 20 thousand masks to his friends and relatives, and the remaining 380 thousand were targeted donations.


"Now I am very happy, very relaxed." After the donation ceremony, Xia Yanhong told reporters: "my mission has finally been completed, and I can rest assured that I am busy with my business."
