One of the biggest changes that Zhao Bin has noticed is that customers now show more respect and understanding toward food delivery workers.

"Before the pandemic, customers didn't understand why delivery will be delayed on rainy days," Zhao said. "But after the pandemic, they text us to let us know it's fine if we're running late."

Zhao loves taking pictures of people since he spends most of his time on the street. He said he took up photography as a hobby after working as a museum security guard.

He believes no matter how heavy the daily workload is, people still need dreams and hobbies. One of his wishes during the pandemic was to get a shot of people hugging on the street, he said.

And now, the dream has come true. "My beloved Wuhan, is back," he said.
