2020年3月20日，当纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫(Andrew Cuomo)下令全州封锁时，我(梁武)正在与一位名叫马修的宾馆主管会面。作为我研究海员和国际航运的论文的一部分，我经常光顾这家宾馆，了解它的背景和运营情况。该设施位于纽约市历史悠久的Sailortown地区，由一个海上使团运营。当封锁令发布时，住在宾馆的最后一批游客已经退房。我发现自己是仅存的客人之一，包括无依无靠的人、家庭暴力的幸存者，当然还有海员和其他在城里无家可归的暂住者。这场流行病突显了我们的共同点，尽管我们似乎截然不同。
On March 20, 2020, I (Liang Wu) was in a meeting with a guesthouse director named Matthew when New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered a statewide lockdown. As part of my dissertation research on seafarers and international shipping, I had been frequenting this guesthouse to learn about its background and operation. The facility is located in the historic sailortown area of New York City and is run by a maritime mission. By the time the lockdown order was issued, the last tourists who were staying at the guesthouse had checked out. I found myself among the only remaining guests, including asylees, survivors of domestic violence and, of course, seafarers and other sojourners who also had no family or home to go to in the city. The pandemic had underlined our commonality even as we seemed worlds apart.
