Mother impotent as her child begs for food.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in China,
people have not been able to have a complete holiday with relatives and family.
The zero-COVID policy that the government applied everywhere to
prevent the virus from spreading has significantly impacted people's lives.
Their movements are controlled, their livelihoods are lost,
and they are facing a lack of supplies and food.
During this year's Mid-Autumn Festival,
a video with the innocent words of a child shared on Twitter
made people feel poor about the current situation of many in China.
We don't have vegetables at home.
The mother could only then coax the child to sleep
because what he wanted to eat was not available.
The refrigerator is already empty.
Netizens have left many comments on this video.
User Hao Ting Yang said,
It hurts to watch.
Another said,
Not in the mood to give a like, just retweet it.
Mooncake with Plastic Paper Filling
According to Chinese media, on September 11,
in Suzhou, Hubei, a woman said that
she bought mooncakes from B Store on the sales platform.
She complained that she ate plastic paper as soon as she took the first bite.
The store where she bought the mooncake said that
they would take another mooncake of the same price as compensation for her,
but she thought this was a food safety issue, so she disagreed.
On September 12, B Store issued an apology and resolved the customer complaint.
Quality inspection personnel deduced that it could be that
the plastic packaging mixed with the content when it was opened.
A special inspection is currently underway.
Sudden Hail and Storm Hit Yichang
It's not just earthquakes and droughts that affect China.
Recently, a heavy thunderstorm and hail hit Yichang, Hubei province.
According to Chinese media, many areas of Yichang were affected by strong convective weather.
Sudden heavy rain with hail occurred at night on September 11.
A video shows how the violent storm blew down trees on sidewalks.
Some low-lying streets were flooded. Hailstones of various sizes fell on the road.
The largest is almost the size of a tennis ball.
At the moment, there are no official reports of casualties.
Epidemic Prevention Staff Suppress Store Owner in Chengdu
On September 11, a video recorded by anti-epidemic officials
in Chengdu shocked social media users.
The video shows that a fruit shop seemed to be closed for business
as the city of Chengdu is under strict disease control.
But officials knocked on the door and demanded that they were allowed to search,
believing that the store owner was secretly opening the door for business.
The store owner later explained that he was inside
reorganizing the refrigerator because the fruit was badly damaged.
He had not opened the store as usual.
However, the agent snatched his phone and asked him not to record,
then violently restrained him and took him away.
China Digital Times cited netizens' comments about the video.
At Classmate, the scariest thing is that this video was taken by law enforcement
and it was released only because they felt this is a good thing.
On the other hand, they are naturally wary of other people's cameras
and want the shop owner to delete the video.
At Penn, named Gangier, didn't allow the people to live.
At Chenhaobo, is this a cop or a gangster?
