2020年的1月31日，第一架英國撤僑專機，帶著83名英國人「逃離武漢」。當時離開武漢看似是合理的決定。不過一年之後，他們中的有些人只能感嘆世事無常。
時隔一年，BBC於今年1月31日採訪首批撤離武漢的英國人馬特·勞 (Matt Raw)，被困在柴郡郊區一座小房子裡的他感慨「要是沒上那架飛機就好了，留在中國」。

When Matt Raw was given an instruction to "get out of Wuhan" he took the advice seriously.
Exactly one year on, he wishes he had "never got on that flight" back to the UK.
Along with his wife and mother, the 39-year-old from Cheshire was among 83 Britons evacuated from the Chinese city on 31 January 2020.
值得一提的是，在2020年5月初，馬特接受央視記者採訪時就已流露出後悔的情緒。

馬特說：「中國在抗擊疫情的行動上非常迅速，比世界上任何一個其他國家的動作都快。我原本應該相信中國能做到，我們應該待在中國，我們做了錯誤的決定。」([China] has acted more quickly than any other country in the world as far as I can tell. I should have trusted that. We should've stayed there. We made a bad choice.)
而如今時隔大半年再度接受採訪，馬特似乎比之前更加後悔了。
據BBC 1月31日報導，馬特最開始沒打算登上回英國的飛機。起初，英國政府稱只有本國公民才能登機，如果他選擇回家，等於將他的中國妻子「拋棄」在武漢。最終，他選擇留在中國。
撤離前夜，馬特甚至將建築工具放在家門口，因為第二天他要去支援「兩山」醫院的建設。

In fact, Matt Raw never planned to be on it originally.
Initially, the UK government had said the flight was reserved for British nationals. That meant Mr Raw faced the prospect of leaving his wife, a Chinese citizen, behind. As a result, they decided to stay put.
Mr Raw said he even left his tools by the front door because he was going to help build hospitals in Wuhan the next day.
但就在飛機起飛前幾個小時，英國政府突然宣布，持中國護照的家庭成員也可與配偶等一同登機。
馬特稱，他在凌晨4點看到新聞，然後「把東西胡亂塞進行李箱」，就帶著家人趕往機場。

但時隔一年接受採訪，他稱「要是沒上那架飛機就好了」。「英國政府騙了我們。他們說可以把我們帶離武漢，『回到英國，就安全了』。」
「我們要是留在中國，會更安全、更自由。」馬特表示，「他們處置疫情迅速而高效。」
However, a few hours before the flight was due to depart, the UK government announced family members with Chinese passports were welcome to join their spouses.
Mr Raw says he got the news at 04:00 and they quickly "threw some things in a suitcase" and headed for the airport.
But he says he now wishes he had "never got on that flight". "They lied to us," he says of the UK authorities. "We're being told to get out of Wuhan, 'come back to England, you'll be safe here'.
"We would have been safer and much more freer if we stayed in China.
"They tackled it short and sharp and locked down the cities and it was the right thing to do."
回到英國後，馬特和家人在兩周的隔離結束後，住進了納茨福德（英國柴郡的一個小鎮）的新居。

但馬特稱，他立即就遇到了一個問題——網絡暴力。有網民認為，是第一架撤僑包機將新冠病毒帶到英國。馬特表示，直到今天，還有人在網上指責他。
「真的有人這麼想，我很心痛。我們能做的都做了，去年我們只出了一次門。」馬特稱。
Mr Raw and his family set up a new home in Knutsford.
He says he almost immediately had to begin dealing with abuse online from people who believed the first repatriation flights were responsible for the presence of Covid-19 in the UK.
That abuse, he says, continues to this day.
"It is heartbreaking that people actually think that...We have done everything we possibly can - we've had one outing this year."
馬特表示，他仍然在後悔做出登機的決定。
「在武漢，蝸居在一間小公寓兩三個月裡是不舒服，但是他們擊敗了病毒，生活恢復了正常，」馬特說，「我真希望當時（沒有去趕飛機，而是）睡醒了去幫助建設那座（火神山）醫院。」
「現在，我們住在柴郡郊區的一座小房子裡，有一個小魚塘作伴，但我們被困在這裡了。像座監獄一樣。」
He adds that he still regrets the decision to board the plane.
"In Wuhan, it would have been uncomfortable in our small apartment for two or three months, but then they got rid of the virus and life has returned to normal," he says.
"I wish I'd stayed in bed and gone to help build that hospital.
"Here, we have my little house and my little fish pond in the Cheshire countryside, but we're trapped here.
"It's still our prison."
