Throwback Thursday: Looking Back on This Time Last Year

Beijingkids has been an essential family resource for Beijing international families since 2006. And just as kids grow up in the blink of an eye, Beijing has grown and changed almost beyond recognition in that time. In Throwback Thursday we jump in the time machine, traveling through our 14 year-strong blog archives to dig out the most entertaining, fascinating, and thought-provoking stories for your reading pleasure. Ready? Let’s go…
It’s happening again. WeChat groups are flooding with news (and sometimes rumors) of the latest Covid-19 outbreak in various parts of Beijing. And it’s only natural that we feel both annoyed and exhausted by the news. After all, we’ve been dealing with it for a year now…
This Throwback Thursday we’re taking a look at the blogs beijingkids wrote about this time last year when the pandemic first hit – and it hit us hard.

We shared how-to guides for Beijing's various grocery and food delivery apps so that even if you’re staying safe at home, you’ll still be able to get your favorite meals. And this time last year many of us finally decided to make full use of our kitchen for the first time, and beijingkids was there to share some classic Chinese New Year dishes with our readers.
We had a daily updates blog with the latest education-related news as schools faced online learning for the first time. This time around, we’ve started another family news blog that’s keeping an eye on Beijing’s education and family-related news as they happen.
We’ve been through this before, and our city is much better prepared and experienced at handling Covid-19. With a vaccine already being offered, this latest outbreak will be behind us soon.
To join one of Beijing’s Safe & Sane WeChat groups that provide reliable Covid-19 related information, add mwinchina and ask to be added.
