A female college student at the Xinjiang Education Institute revealed how her life has changed since her school imposed a lockdown in April to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The lockdown is still in place more than half a year later, said the sophomore student who goes by the pseudonym Zhang Yan, in a phone interview with the Chinese-language Epoch Times. Students at her school were forbidden to leave for their summer break.
