"It was not difficult at all (to prepare amid the COVID-19 pandemic) because China has controlled COVID-19 very well - maybe the best in the world - so under the protection of my country I was not worried at all," Zhu said.

"The gold is what I came here for. My family are very proud and were in tears when we spoke on the phone," Shi said.
