Students back to class as Shanghai rebounds from COVID lockdown

But Shanghai International Film Festival postponed for a year over virus fears

Teen Xu Jiarong said she was excited to get back to school after she and most of the city's 25 million residents were shut indoors in late March as Shanghai imposed the country's biggest lockdown of the pandemic.
