After 9 o'clock on Feb. 20th, the global market wind vane----Yiwu International Trade City has resumed its flourishing. Outside the front gate of District 1, you would see the dragon and lion dance, and hear gongs and drums, celebrating the resumption of District 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of Yiwu International Trade City, International Production Materials Market, Huangyuan Clothing Market, Digital City, and Binwang 158 Cultural and Creative Park.

Under the requirements of strict prevention and control of the epidemic, the e-commerce, logistics, enterprise, life service and other industries have been restored efficiently and orderly.
"In this Spring Festival, 80% of the employees responded to the policy and stayed for the Chinese new year, and 60% of the production lines were not shut down. Now we are waiting for the market to open up and let the customers come with orders." He Mei, who is engaged in toy business in District 1 of Yiwu International Trade City, told reporters that she arrived at the market early at 8 a.m. today, waiting for the market to open.
He Mei said that this year is her big year, so she specially wore a red woolen coat. "I hope this year's business will be prosperous and the financial resources will be widely promoted." Before her voice fell, He Mei's eyes narrowed into a line in the simple auspicious words, and her mask couldn't cover her bright smile.
