  1. Life in an HINI quarantine Shared photos from someone quarantined for H1N1 zjm 2009-12-03

  2. After one student was found to be infected with the H1N1 virus October 16, 2009 at Luzhou College of Chemical Technology, in southwest China's Sichuan province, the school immediately quarantined students who had any close contact with the patient. The following photos were taken by Zheng Yi, one of the quarantined students, and are accompanied by some of her descriptions of life in the quarantine.

  3. The students were quarantined in an old dormitory building. The paper sign posted on the door says, “No one except authorized workers can enter the isolation zone.”( Photo by Zheng Yi)

  4. The quarantine tests the students’ patience. They write to help deal with what Zheng Yi called “fear and helplessness in our hearts.” ( Photo by Zheng Yi)

  5. “Whenever I saw the notebook that was used to record our health situation, I felt so worried and scared,” Zheng Yi wrote. “I hated seeing white things. They seemed to me like the dividing line between living and dying.” ( Photo by Zheng Yi)

  6. “Even though I know the flu is not that deadly, I had nightmares where I was lifted into multicolored clouds and did not know where to float,” Zheng Yi wrote. “Even during meals, I chewed carefully, and contemplated my past and future.” ( Photo by Zheng Yi)

  7. “When I suddenly saw people walking outside, I desperately wanted to be as free as they are, even if I was only a poor vagrant.” ( Photo by Zheng Yi)

  8. Longing for a connection with the outside world, Zheng Yi wrote, “the computer was the only thing that comforts me and opens up a window for hope. I checked the files again and again, just to find a reason to not to be afraid.” ( Photo by Zheng Yi)

  9. “We waited and fidgeted during the long days for the results of our checkups.” ( Photo by Zheng Yi)

  10. “After the grinding of several days, I began to believe that human life is but life and death, and the world is nothing but what you gain and lose. And what you lose is what you most cherish,” Zheng Yi wrote. “Therefore we throw everything we can in our heads and carefully experience the present.”( Photo by Zheng Yi)
