Everyone is preparing for February 10 when all the action begins. Many of the young employees at First China might be from outside Kunming anf therefore they will be going home to visit their families. Even in china things are changing and therefore most of these workers might remain in town and stay with friends.
I am sure that Wang will require a "skeleton staff" to stay at the office to handle incoming orders. People still get sick and orders for medications must get filled--this is not a mom and pop store-and therefore the trucks must still be rolling making deliveries to hospitals and clinics.
