During the recent Spring Festival, many cities and regions across China encouraged residents and migrant workers to stay put, to reduce the flow of people and thereby curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many migrant workers who decided to remain at the Nantong Economic & Technological Development Area – located in Nantong city in East China's Jiangsu province -- in response to the call, expressed their best wishes to the NETDA for the new year.

Let's take a glimpse of their blessings.
