Many people in China stayed home by choice or by order over the Lunar New Year holiday because of the widespread coronavirus outbreak which has already infected more than 6,000 people as of January 29. Being confined to their homes, some managed to find ingenious ways to overcome the boredom and shared their creativity on social media.

I believe the best way to learn about foreign places is to go their first hand. Or read and watch news articles or videos that have opinions on both sides of the spectrum. This way you have a full picture of that once foreign place.
