Students in Shanghai have been coping with lockdown for a long time. The city has been imposing lockdowns at infrequent intervals for quite a while now, so students have got accustomed to it and have found new ways to maintain their mental health and remain busy even in lockdown. Many students use their extra time for recreational activities such as watching movies, exercising, listening to songs or practising their hobbies. Many universities even organized a balcony music festival in which all the students would come to their balconies and play music. Some students would also sing songs and some would set up karaoke.
