Editor's Note:
As mobility restrictions are about to be lifted on Wednesday, more and more pedestrians and vehicles appear on streets and increasing amounts of shops and stores reopen in East China’s Shanghai, a city on the brink of normality.  

Some Shanghai residents who are allowed to walk out of their communities on Tuesday have their normal night life back in advance by going to streets, shopping at convenience stores and even having a foot massage. (Photos: Feng Yu/GT Qi Xijia/GT)
