December 31st, 2017, New Year Eve. Looking forward to step into the New Year, an astonishing 300,000 people crowded the Bund of Shanghai. Instead of staying home and celebrating the new year with their families, they stood at every intersection, on every block, every street. They built fences, walls, with their own bodies. They stood like poles for several hours straight, guiding traffic and the enormous flow of people. It is their unwavering stance, that allowed everyone to safely and happily transition into the new year.
