“Drop whatever you are doing and deal with it now,” she recalls the director saying.

"Shi walked out of the conference she was attending in Shanghai and hopped on the next train back to Wuhan."

"On the train back to Wuhan on December 30 last year, Shi AND HER COLLEAGUES discussed ways to immediately start testing the patients’ samples."

Facts (?): Dec 30, Shi+ colleagues, Shanghai, conference

This is the question, was it a "conference" conference, a seminar, lecture, meeting, none of the above?

As @sleeplessbkk points out, conference at gone 7pm? Well it could be a two or three day conference. But it's phrased in a way that suggests she was working, not at the evening drinks do.

That appears to be the last train to Wuhan and it doesn't sound as if she would have had time to "walk out and hop on" it

“This regime stands on two pillars: lies and power. It covers up the truth about the pandemic with lies so it can carry on its rule … and uses power to intimidate and shut up the ordinary people, and heavy sentences [to punish] people who are not afraid of the intimidation.”

"Mr. Xi tall for a man of his generation at 5-foot-11, with the thick black sweptback hair of a South Korean movie star."

"Does any of this prove Mr. Xi’s own religiosity? As Communist Party members, China’s leaders are required to be atheist. And yet Chinese who knew Mr. Xi well believe he at least looked favorably on Buddhism and other traditional religions."

"Mr. Xi, according to the professor, “displayed a fascination with Buddhist martial arts, qigong and other mystical powers said to aid health, as well as with Buddhist sacred sites.”
