I’m in a heart-shaped pool, not much larger than a backyard hot tub, with four naked strangers. We’re all masked, which feels odd only because we’re otherwise so exposed. But the nudity isn’t what makes being at Harbin a big deal. And neither is the truly momentous event of my month: getting vaccinated. Both, however, were the backdrop to the day the reason why the symbolism of this visit to Harbin’s “healing waters” felt a bit too on-the-nose.
