I like the stinky smell in the mask

When wearing a mask, the optic nerves are pressed on both sides, which is very uncomfortable; when wearing a mask, breathing is not smooth and a bit suffocating; when wearing a mask, there is an inexplicable itching on the face from time to time, and I can’t help but scratch it...

There are also benefits to wearing a mask. After wearing it for a long time, there will be a faint, smelly smell, especially when tiredness sets in, and you will yawn for a long time, and the smelly smell will be quite mellow in the first breath. Then it gradually faded away, but the faint smell was always retained. This smell is made by myself, and it is the only one in the world. It is covered by a mask and no one else can smell it. I enjoy it all by myself. I can't help but fall in love with it. Some masks have their own odor. They are factory-made and are not as pure as self-produced ones.

During the Spring Festival, masks are definitely a scarce commodity. As long as you leave home, you must wear a mask. Otherwise, you are not allowed to get on the bus, take the train, or enter the supermarket... It is difficult to move without a mask. It cost 16 yuan each. My dear, I really couldn’t bear to buy it. Fortunately, my wife’s workplace had welfare benefits during the Spring Festival and she was given two masks, so I was able to go to the supermarket to buy rice and vegetables. Within a few days, the masks were completely out of stock, so these two masks were like treasures. Every time I used them, I put them away carefully. They helped me get through the anxious February and anxious March. Finally, the masks could be used according to my identity. I bought it with a certificate and the price dropped to less than 2 yuan. I still can’t bear to replace these two masks because they have a stinky smell that I like.

Speaking of masks, I think of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. American athletes came to Beijing with masks, saying that the air in Beijing was polluted and harmful to health. This greatly hurt the self-esteem of the Chinese people and demanded that American athletes apologize. Later, the U.S. Embassy reported Beijing’s PM2.5 data every day. Everyone knew about PM2.5 and its dangers, and they all started wearing masks. However, the American athletes who "blowed the whistle" back then were forgotten, and they were not rehabilitated or rated as model workers.

During the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing was shut down for thousands of miles and it was cloudless. With such good weather, Americans were still worried about the impact of air pollution on their health and insisted on wearing masks. I watched an American TV series where a sexually transmitted disease broke out in a middle school because of promiscuity among students. All the students wore masks. Later, after professionals explained that sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted sexually and not through the air, everyone took off their masks. Americans like to wear masks, maybe they are weak?

Whenever I go to other places, people always like to make fun of the smog in the imperial capital. The smog in Beijing is especially severe in winter. Sometimes schools have smog holidays and children don't have to go to school. Many days, because of the haze, children have to be kept in classrooms and are not allowed to go outside. However, Chinese people are healthy and have strong resistance. They are not as pretentious as Americans. Not many people wear masks in the vast smog.

Due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus, people across the country are wearing masks. Even in remote rural areas, villagers must wear masks when they go to vegetable fields to pick vegetables, and fishermen must wear masks when they go fishing alone at sea. Because it was called for, at first, I was somewhat reluctant to wear a mask, but later I became more and more conscious. I looked around the streets and saw that people were wearing masks very seriously, and some people were wearing masks inside their masks.

The new coronavirus quickly spread across the world, and the United States was the most serious. The number of people infected with the virus once accounted for one-third of the world, and the number of new people added every day was the highest in the world. What is shocking is that Americans do not wear masks. . If you are worried about air pollution, you wear a mask. If you are worried about infectious diseases, you wear a mask. However, the epidemic of the new coronavirus, which is extremely scary to the Chinese, you do not wear a mask. This makes us worry about Americans.

Whether Americans wear masks or not is their business. Although no new patients have been found for two consecutive months, the government does not allow removal. Wearing it is to reassure others, not to mention the stinky smell that I like, so I will still wear it.
