For those still entangled in work, work styles have changed dramatically. Instead of person－to－person contacts, phones, faxes and the Internet are employed more frequently to maintain business operations.
Chen Pengcheng, general manager of Wanfu Economic and Trade Co.,Ltd. in Zhuhai of Guangdong, fits into this category. "We thought SARS would disrupt our normal operations, but with modern office equipment, everything is as usual."
"It reminds me that our work procedure could well be more streamlined. Many flights and meetings are actually redundant," said Chen.
Pan Yining, professor of Zhongshan University in Guangdong, said SARS had prompted the Chinese people to consolidate their unification and sparked their determination to win this battle.
"It's a good opportunity to strengthen the cohesion of the whole nation and for many people, a reassessment of the value of their lives."
"SARS is an all new test of the rapid response capability of China's public health administration, government officials and the mass media," said Pan.
"SARS will be beaten eventually, but the positive influences it has created will last for a long time to come."
Tang Yong, who works with China Southern Airlines, said he and his son would read his collections of reports on medical workers fighting SARS together during the coming holiday.
"I would tell my child this: when the Motherland calls, your parents would make the same choice. And I hope you do too," said an emotional Tang.
