Recently, China Youth Daily did a survey on 2,001 people. They found that half of them stayed alone at home during the epidemic(流行病), and 66. 5 percent of them felt that it was good to be alone. Students had different opinions on the benefits (益处) of being alone.
Wang Yidi, a high school student in Hefei, said, "Staying alone gives us a chance to live our own life, instead of having to care about others' feelings. It can help us realize what we want, and will make us more likely to make real friends. " And another student named Chen Shuting also thought being alone helped her a lot. Once she gave up trying some exciting rides in an amusement park because her friends were afraid. But later she went back to the park by herself and did everything she could. She said it was wonderful.
However, there were also students who didn't agree. Li Xingyi thought that staying alone couldn't help people solve their problems. She said people would get more benefits(利益) by joining groups. Ji Hengyi also said that it might be hard for a person to stay positive for such a long time. At first, it felt good to do something he liked, but after a few days, he couldn't stand such a boring life and wanted to communicate with his friends and do some social activities.
