They come from nearly 50 countries and regions, mainly Japanese, Korean, China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Europe and America, so they are also called "Little United Nations".

Due to multiple reasons, such as epidemic situation at home and abroad, community workers in Hongqiao Street have implemented the rigid requirements of prevention and control work on the basis of prescribed actions in urban areas and supplemented by flexible methods of community governance services. For example, a number of volunteer teams have been set up to play the independent role of "foreigners helping foreigners". Volunteers have said that "although I am a foreigner, I am not an outsider". They not only help to translate prevention and control information, but also help to convey official voices. They use their own platforms and circle of friends to actively publicize China's epidemic prevention laws and regulations, help their nationals identify official information and rumors, and stabilize their emotions. At the same time, they called on overseas residents to actively cooperate with the registration and remind overseas people to reduce the gathering.
