Abstract
Chinese social environment faces a transition. More and more citizens get tired of the current situation.

Many occupations’ interests have been severely damaged and thus most citizens are looking forward to the end of zero-COVID policy. The research exhibits the conditions and real willingness of Chinese citizens in mainland. It is not only a theoretic analysis but also with real cases. This work provides unprecedented details of the Chinese public.
