Disaster or Gospel? The world's first cure for heart attacks using mRNA technology

Is the following method to end heart attacks a disaster or a gospel for patients? Will it result in side-effects similar or identical to the side-effects of Moderna covi vaccine or side-effects that may be more severe than myocarditis?

Stewart Carr, a reporter of Daily Mail, has revealed that genetic tracking used to create covid vaccines is now being adapted to help regenerate hearts damaged from cardiac arrests.

Scientists at King's College London have tracked genetic codes called mRNAs which produce proteins to generate healthy heart cells.

The ground-breaking research could lead to the world's first cure for heart attack victims, The Times reports.

Similar technology was used to create the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Lead researcher Professor Mauro Giacca said, 'We are all born with a set number of muscle cells in our heart and they are exactly the same ones we will die with. The heart has no capacity to repair itself after a heart attack. Our goal has been to find a treatment that can convince surviving cells to proliferate.

"Regenerating a damaged human heart has been a dream until a few years ago, but can now become a reality.

"We are using exactly the same technology as the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to inject micro RNAs to the heart, reaching surviving heart cells and pushing their proliferation. The new cells would replace the dead ones and instead of forming a scar, the patient has new muscle tissue."

Giacca's team is based at the British Heart Foundation Centre for Research Excellence at King's College London. 

In addition to helping hearts regenerate, they also working towards a treatment to stop cells dying during a heart attack. 

Across the UK, around 100,000 people are hospitalised each year after a heart attack - caused by a blocked blood supply to the heart.

The method to cure heart attacks using mRNA technology appears to make humans overcome  terminal diseases finally easily. The technology may be used to exclude people unable to pay for the treatment from those that can, thus widening the financial gaps of patients. It is the latest rendition of the concept known as transhumanism that advocates the enhancement of the human body condition by developing technologies that can extend longevity and cognition.

Another Shanghai? Suzhou just said that the city will not be locked down, and 2 closure notices suddenly occurred

Suzhou, which is close to Shanghai, just announced a few days ago that there is no plan to lock down the city, and then issued two emergency notices to seal the city in disguise. Suzhou and Shanghai are both important economic zones in the Yangtze River Delta, and the blockade of the two places will inevitably have an important impact on China's economy.

The Suzhou authorities announced at the April 12 epidemic prevention and control conference that "there are currently no plans to close the city." But in the early morning four days later, Suzhou issued two important announcements in a row, closing the city in disguise.

The "Suzhou Release" official Weibo announcement in the early morning of 16 April stated that since 12 am that day, Wujiang District, Wuzhong District, Xiangcheng District, Gusu District, Suzhou Industrial Park and Huqiu District (Suzhou High-tech Zone) have further escalated the epidemic. prevention and control.

All residential quarters, urban villages, dormitories, and industrial parks are under closed management, and outsiders and vehicles are not allowed to enter unless necessary.

All citizens "do not leave Suzhou unless it is necessary", and those who need to leave must have a negative 24-hour nucleic acid test result.

Authorities recommend working from home. Those who cannot work from home must have a negative 24-hour nucleic acid test result or a nucleic acid sampling certificate on the same day.

Some netizens said bluntly, "Isn't this announcement a disguised city lockdown notice?"

In addition, the Gusu District of Suzhou also issued an emergency notice in the early morning of 16 April. From 12 am on the same day, the south of Sucheng Avenue, the north of Waicheng River (north), the west of Yuanhetang, and the east of Xitang River are designated as control areas. "When people do not leave the community, gatherings are strictly prohibited." At the same time, outsiders and vehicles are prohibited from entering.

Netizens in Suzhou lamented, "Suzhou is too difficult. After three days of work, I have been squatting at home for two and a half months. Except for grocery shopping, I basically stay at home to do nucleic acid test." There is nothing left in the software, and I urgently ordered some food that is easy to store and operate." "I can go out to buy food but I don't dare. Fortunately, I have basically stocked up for two weeks, so it should be no problem. The hospital in Suzhou pays for it. I am empty to support Shanghai, once the epidemic breaks out, I dare not think about it.​”

According to the official report, the epidemic in Suzhou has spread to 7 county-level cities (districts). Among them, Kunshan, like Shanghai, has been closed in disguised form since April 6, and a 7-day global silence management measure has been implemented.

On 12 April, Kunshan followed the example of Shanghai and implemented the "four-area management and control".

Kunshan is an important electronic foundry town, and Taiwanese companies such as AUO and Compal have settled here. The closure of Kunshan City has affected the shipment of electronic products such as TVs and mobile phones. Industry insiders are worried that Kunshan is a major hub for the electronics industry, and the closure of Kunshan will have a greater impact on the global electronics industry than Shanghai.

Suzhou, known as Gusu and Pingjiang in ancient times, is a municipality directly under the Central Government of Jiangsu Province, and is also one of the important central cities in the Yangtze River Delta approved by the State Council, a national high-tech industrial base and a scenic tourist city.

Suzhou is close to Shanghai, about 100 km apart. It only takes half an hour to reach Shanghai by high-speed rail from Suzhou. Many Suzhou people work in Shanghai and travel between the two places every day.

"City lockdown" affects China's economy

Since mid-March, epidemic restrictions have been imposed in at least 70 cities in China, which account for about 40% of China's economic output.

The Associated Press said that 87 of China's 100 largest cities in the economy have implemented some form of lockdown.

Japan's Nomura Securities estimates that as many as 45 cities in China are still in full or partial "closure", with nearly 400 million people living there.

Gong Shengli, a well-known independent economist, told Radio Free Asia that the daily economic loss of Shanghai's closure is about 10 billion RMB.

He said that China's GDP growth target this year is 5.5%, and Shanghai accounts for about 2%. If Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the surrounding areas of Shanghai are also closed, the Chinese economy may suffer an unprecedented setback.

ING, an international financial institution, pointed out that if Shanghai continues to close the city, Shanghai's GDP will lose 6% in April, and China's GDP will lose 2%.

The World Bank on 5 April lowered its forecast for China's economic growth this year to 5% from 5.4%, and may drop to 4% if the outbreak exceeds expectations.

On 13 April, the General Administration of Customs of the Communist Party of China announced the foreign trade import and export data for the first quarter of this year, and the overall import and export growth rate has declined. Among them, exports were 276.08 billion US dollars, with an annual growth rate of 14.7%; imports showed negative growth, with an annual decrease of 0.1%.

Li Kuiwen, a spokesman for the General Administration of Customs, said that some unexpected factors in the current international and domestic environment have exceeded expectations, and China's foreign trade development is facing many risks and challenges.

The Epoch Times columnist Wang He analyzed that the current problems of China's economy are mainly due to policy interference. "The zero-covid policy has caused great harm and impact to the economy."

In addition, the CCP’s stance on the Russia-Ukraine war is indecisive, and it has secretly supported Russia. The possible sanctions against the CCP by the West are always hanging on the head. Wang He said that these factors have brought China's domestic and international economic environment at a turning point.

U.S. congressional caucus meets Tsai Ing-wen: U.S. will make the CCP pay the price

Reporter : Liu Minghuan / Editor: Wen Hui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/04/16/a103401912.html

U.S. Senator Graham said during a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei on 15 April that the United States will make China pay more for what it does around the world.

According to comprehensive media reports, on 15 April 2022, Graham and other 6 American bipartisan members of Congress met with President Tsai Ing-wen of the Republic of China. Graham said that given what China has done to the world, it is time for them to pay a higher price. There is a price to be paid for the Chinese Communist Party's constant attacks on the people, networks and economy of Taiwan.

He said that it was very sad to see what happened in Ukraine on TV. The American people fully understand how important Taiwan is to the United States.

Graham mentioned that the people of Taiwan have donated nearly 40 million US Dollars to Ukraine. On the other hand, what China (the CCP) has done is equal to contributing to Russia's atrocities. The US Director of Central Intelligence also expressed his opinion on the situation in Russia, pointing out that Xi Jinping is Putin's most loyal ally; In the situation in Ukraine, the contrast between Taiwan and China is stark.

Graham said that in terms of economy and digital technology, Taiwan is already an indispensable partner of the United States and the world, and he hopes to further strengthen bilateral economic and trade relations.

Graham pointed out that Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Chinese Communist Party's provocative actions have united the United States and are unprecedented in recent times. When China's (CCP) provocation against Taiwan intensifies, the United States will stand with Taiwan. If you give up Taiwan, you will give up freedom, democracy, and even free trade. It will encourage the evil of mankind. "Now is the time to 'restart' the world."

Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, mentioned that China (the CCP) sent letters to the members of the delegation to express their protests and dissatisfaction before their trip, but they did not back down and made a firm visit to Taiwan to express their commitment to Taiwan.

Menendez mentioned that his determination to stand up for Taiwan is like the mask he wears with the flag of the United States and Taiwan and the words "rock solid". "Taiwan produces 90% of the world's high-end semiconductors and has global influence and importance in the economy. Those who hope that Taiwan will not develop too well must understand that the world is watching Taiwan and will not allow negative things to happen in Taiwan, because it is also of global interest."

Senator Richard Burr said that in the face of the Russia-Ukraine war and the global pandemic, countries have begun to reflect on the issue of global supply chains. The United States and Europe should regard Taiwan as an important link in rebuilding global supply chains.

Robert Portman, the top Republican on the U.S. Homeland Security Committee, also said that Taiwan should become a member of the Indo-Pacific economic structure, and it is very important for the U.S. and Taiwan to negotiate and sign a free trade agreement.

Tsai Ing-wen said in her speech that Senator Graham has made important contributions in strengthening the bilateral economic and trade relations between Taiwan and the United States and supporting Taiwan's international participation in the past 20 years, and is an important support force for Taiwan in the US Congress. Senator Menendez has been the co-chairman of the Senate "Taiwan Connection" since 2009. He has repeatedly led the launch of Taiwan Friendship Bills to strengthen Taiwan's security and enhance Taiwan-US relations. He is Taiwan's staunch friend in the US Congress.

"There is a rock-solid friendship between Taiwan and the United States because there are members of the visiting group working together with us." She emphasized that on the 43rd anniversary of the expiration of the legislation of the "Taiwan Relations Act" on the 10th, the visit of the visiting group at this time is particularly important. It is meaningful, and I believe that Taiwan and the United States will continue to deepen exchanges and create more cooperation results.

She pointed out that in the past few years, Taiwan and the United States have worked together to promote democracy, good governance and human rights values ​​in the Indo-Pacific region through mechanisms such as the Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) and the Indo-Pacific Democratic Governance Consultation. Russia's invasion of Ukraine also shows that democracies should strengthen their alliances to jointly defend against the interference and threats to regional peace by authoritarian states.

Tsai Ing-wen said that Taiwan has always been the most solid partner of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region. "We look forward to playing an active role in the new Indo-Pacific strategy and jointly maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region." In addition, Taiwan also looks forward to working with the United States to promote economic and trade exchanges and cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region and bring more prosperity.

There is a reason for the chaos of the epidemic, and insiders reveal the insider
In the afternoon of 14 April 2022, a netizen who was suspected of knowing the matter suddenly posted on social media continuously, using cryptic language, to disclose some inside information of Shanghai high-level officials.
The content of the post cannot be verified because it involves infighting. However, the analysis of the situation reflected in the latest stage in Shanghai is similar to the statement in the post. There are also some situations mentioned by netizens who broke the news to us before.
There are two main characters in the post, one is "Old Woman Sun", which should correspond to Sun Chunlan. Another "big strong son" should correspond to Li Qiang, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.
The post stated that the old lady Sun has been a model in the two years of anti-epidemic. No matter where you go, you scold the local officials first, then make a bunch of demands, and leave with a slap on the butt for 1-2 days. If the following is done well and cleared, it means that she has done a good job in supervising the battle; if it is not done well and the clearing is not achieved, it is the poor execution below.
On the first day of her visit to Shanghai this time, Sun Chunlan excluded all Shanghai experts, and only allowed "experts" from the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council to participate. This point, as we mentioned earlier, means that all the experts in Shanghai have stood aside.
Sun Chunlan reprimanded the Shanghai officials, and put down her harsh words before leaving two days later, "If it can't be cleared, go to the central government to explain; if the common people have nothing to eat, go and explain to the common people; if..."
It is precisely because of Sun Chunlan's "ruthless words" that Shanghai has changed its practice of "precise epidemic prevention", from "no closure of the city, and no lockdown of the city" to "mandarin duck" management, and then to "global static state" throughout Shanghai before "lockdown of the city". 
The virus did not listen to the old lady Sun, and the number of cases after the closure of the city continued to soar, so there was a contradiction. Li Qiang, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, was unwilling to take the blame, so he "sued" and let the old lady Sun come to the end. So after Sun Chunlan went to Shanghai for the second time, she found that she could not leave.
According to the post, Sun Chunlan found that her proposal of "doing all the inspections, all the collections, all the quarantines, and all the treatments" that she proposed had stuck herself. "Four should be done" is her own person (the Joint Prevention and Control Office) to take over the formulation and implementation of Shanghai's epidemic prevention policy, including resource allocation, so Mrs. Sun wanted to change her tactics. Including the so-called "three districts" and "8 cities pilot" on 4 April, these are things Sun Chunlan wanted to work out.
During this period, a lot of things happened, including the phone recording we disclosed, officials from the Shanghai CDC scolded Shanghai cadres for being unprofessional; overturned Shanghai's big data system, disabled Health Cloud, and used "Neusoft" from Mrs. Sun's hometown of Liaoning to develop Shanghai's "nucleic acid code" system has many loopholes and problems in detecting on-site system crashes, etc.
In addition, Sun Chunlan asked medical teams from other places to assist Shanghai's medical teams, and nucleic acid sampling should not occupy Shanghai's resources. Therefore, doctors and nurses in Jiangsu and Anhui took the bus to Shanghai in the morning, and then took the bus back to the departure city in the afternoon, without drinking or eating. In this way, the nucleic acid screening of 26 million people was hastily ended, and based on this incomplete result, the "three zones" division was launched on the 11th.
But at night of the 11th, after listening to the report, Li Qiang found that this relaxation would completely destroy the effect of the previous blockade. The post stated that now Shanghai's economy has been seriously damaged, and people's livelihood has been seriously affected. If the anti-epidemic can no longer achieve results, Li Qiang will "definitely be yellow" when he enters the Standing Committee in October.
At this time, Li Qiang began to fight back and demanded that the division of the three areas be immediately stopped, all of which were "control areas". In addition, nucleic acid testing for 3 consecutive days from the 12th to the 14th was arranged. But at the beginning of the morning of the 12th, the nucleic acid system of "Neusoft" collapsed again, and the whole city did not dare to engage in nucleic acid.
The post finally pointed out, "I spread things out to let you understand that this is a farce of political struggle. The stage is Shanghai, and the props are 26 million people in Shanghai."
The above is the main content of the post. Again, we are unable to verify the authenticity of this content. However, the various abnormal phenomena in Shanghai mentioned in it, we have mentioned it, and we also feel strange.
For example, the "8-city pilot" was only reported by Caixin.com, and the CCP's official media did not mention it. A few hours later, the Caixin news was also deleted. At that time, I suspected that there was an infighting factor in the CCP, but now I can see from this leaked post that there is indeed such a possibility. It is a political struggle between Li Qiang and Sun Chunlan.
Some people may ask, Sun Chunlan is the vice premier of the Communist Party of China, and Li Qiang is the official of the Communist Party of China. How can he dare to compete with Sun Chunlan? That's right, Sun Chunlan is the Vice Premier of the State Council of the Communist Party of China, and Li Qiang is the Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.
From the perspective of special work, Sun Chunlan, as a special official, has the right to guide the epidemic prevention work in Shanghai. But it is only the right to guide, not to decide. Mainly because Sun Chunlan and Li Qiang are both members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China, and they are politically equal. Moreover, Li Qiang is a direct descendant of Xi Jinping and a popular candidate for the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, so he dared to fight back against Sun Chunlan and deny Sun Chunlan's approach.
But have you seen it? The reason why the epidemic in Shanghai is getting worse is because the infighting in the CCP officialdom is using the common people as props. CCP officials fight for their own interests but the Chinese people are suffering. Reflected in Shanghai's epidemic prevention, 26 million Shanghainese are the dishes in the pot, and CCP officials can fry whatever they want.
However, the contest between Sun Chunlan and Li Qiang may have already been decided.
News (16)
End of the epidemic by the end of the month? Li Qiang defeated Sun Chunlan?
At 10 am on 15 April 2022, a Shanghai netizen who has close ties with us sent an email saying that Sun Chunlan may have lost power in the infighting. Attached to the email are four screenshots of today's group chat.
The picture shows that a person has continuously posted that the Shanghai epidemic "is over at the end of the month, and it is basically certain. Doctors and police have begun to withdraw, and the number of (infected) will drop 'technically' every day. Re-enable the health cloud, and the wind direction will start to be clear."
To make it sound clearer to everyone, I'll call this person "A". A specifically pointed out that his friends were from Shanghai No. 1 Hospital. "All received a notice to withdraw, and the nucleic acid test will end (tomorrow). Some police friends in the cabin also began to withdraw." "Re-enable Health Cloud, Li Qiangdou won." .
A also posted the content of a suspected meeting, which showed that Shanghai had just held a special class meeting for nucleic acid testing, "clarifying the new task, it must end today in chasing the sun." Before receiving the notice from the superior, "suspend all nucleic acid testing and sampling work". Chaiyang requires "centralized isolation points" and personnel such as construction sites, supply guarantees, supermarkets, stores, and delivery, as well as community and village cadres, police, volunteers, etc., all of which are "single person and single management" and "red management review". ".
Later, A also posted a screenshot of the conversation in the internal group of Shanghai First Hospital. The conversations of different people above show that "the epidemic is over" and "there will be no new cases". Among them, the doctor surnamed Jiang said, "Our nucleic acid testing team has withdrawn in the past few days. We were positive yesterday, and today I have received a negative report." "The nucleic acid code is no longer needed, and it is back to the health cloud."
A said that the Shanghai authorities "only have this way, and they dare not continue. In fact, it is more than what is reported every day, but it is too late to receive or transfer so much every day, and disguisedly admit that the clearing failed." A went on to add that the No. 1 Hospital "has no backup force, and they will collapse themselves if they don't withdraw."
Again, I would like to state that I cannot corroborate what was mentioned in these chats at this time. However, the netizen who broke the news has a very close relationship with us, and has repeatedly disclosed the insider situation in Shanghai to us, and most of them have been confirmed later. So from this point of view, I do not doubt the revelations of netizens.
But for the situation in the chat dialogue, such as the time when the Shanghai epidemic ended and Sun Chunlan's defeat, etc., we still need to observe. However, this kind of observation is not difficult. The most intuitive observation point is to see whether nucleic acid testing is still being done or not, and whether the number of daily reports is decreasing.
If nucleic acid testing is really not done, naturally there will be no new cases. In this way, the number of reported cases will definitely decrease, and the magnitude will be very large.
In fact, if you compare the number of reported cases yesterday and today, you will find that today has dropped significantly compared to yesterday. Yesterday's report was 27,719 cases, and today's report is 23,072 cases, a drop of as much as 17%. Is this a "technical" drop?
Let's wait and see tomorrow's announcement figures. If there is still a sharp drop, then it is basically a political figure, a "technical" drop.
In other words, even if someone gets infected again, they won't be diagnosed, because politics doesn't require new cases. When politics needs yang, you can get yang, and yin gets yang; when politics needs yin, you can get yin, and yang gets yin. I don't ask if you believe it or not, but if you accept it?
If so, it really means that Sun Chunlan lost in the political battle with Li Qiang, and Li Qiang won the fight. In other words, Xi Jinping may have changed his mind and chose Li Qiang's side.
Because in the current political arena of the CCP, there are not many people Xi Jinping trusts, and Li Qiang is one of them. Earlier, many analysts believed that Xi Jinping would arrange for Li Qiang to become a permanent member of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and become an important force in the Xi camp. If Li Qiang is unable to enter the office because of the setbacks due to the Shanghai epidemic, it will be a great loss to Xi Jinping.

The rules for seeing a doctor have changed, Sohu exposed the square cabin
There are two other notable phenomena, which are probably also related to the struggle between Li Qiang and Sun Chunlan. Today (15th), the Shanghai authorities announced that “public medical institutions at all levels will not stop in principle,” and they should not refuse a doctor on the grounds of waiting for PCR test results.
Many netizens believe that this is a new regulation that has been exchanged for many lives. Some netizens said, "It's been a month, and now I think about it? Do you know how many people died this month?"
Maybe this new regulation in Shanghai comes out, just like netizens think that human life is exchanged, I do not rule out this possibility. But I prefer the introduction of new regulations, which may be related to the battle between Li Qiang and Sun Chunlan.
Let’s think about a question: When did the CCP value the lives of ordinary people? If a few human lives can make the CCP change its course, is it still the CCP? When Wuhan was locked down, many people were forced to commit suicide by jumping off the building. Has the CCP changed it? This time, many people in Shanghai jumped off the building and hanged themselves, and many patients were delayed to death. Does the CCP know?
In order to resist the CCP's repression, the Tibetan people have successively protested by self-immolation. Including the pop singer not long ago, they all fought to the death, but has the CCP changed its policy? No.
The CCP has never valued the lives of ordinary people. The lives and deaths of ordinary people are nothing in the eyes of the CCP. To put it a bit harsher, the life of an ordinary Chinese is not as expensive as the life of a dog in the family of a CCP official.
So I do not think the CCP's new regulations were introduced because of the death of a few people, forcing it to change. It is likely that such a change was made because the infighting was divided.
The second notable phenomenon is reflected here on the mainland portal "Sohu". ON 14 April, Sohu suddenly reported on the dark side of Shanghai's largest square cabin concentration camp, pointing out that "thousands of people live in one room, unable to take a bath, and the toilets are dirty" and other problems in Shanghai's square cabin hospital.
The article quoted a person named "Li Le" who said that he was shocked when he first arrived at the makeshift hospital in Hall H1 of the Shanghai World Expo. "Nearly 3,000 people live in one ward, and the scene is spectacular."
The 39-year-old Li Le said that the weather was getting hot but the air conditioner was not turned on in the cabin, and it was inconvenient to take a bath, so he had to go to the toilet to scrub. The layout of the square cabin is not friendly to women, and many women use sheets to surround the bed in order to protect their privacy.
In particular, people's work and rest time is different, and it is not good to rest at all. Li Legang said that he could only sleep for four or five hours a day, "very crazy".
"Li Le" filmed a video in the square cabin hospital, in which several people told the camera about the post-infection situation. These people said that most of them just had a cough, headache, and a little fever, but it was fine for a day or two, and a few felt no symptoms. The video has over 15 million views.
The article also stated that in the early morning of April 11, 37-year-old Xu Mei and her daughter were transferred to the makeshift hospital at the Convention and Exhibition Center. There are men's, women's and family areas here. The family area is mixed with men and women, and there is almost no privacy.
The toilet is a row of mobile toilets for men and women, and the garbage is stacked next to the pit, exuding a foul smell. Many people, especially girls, are afraid to go to the toilet and can only eat and drink less. On one place, there were a large area of ​​cigarette butts and cigarette cases thrown by others after smoking, as well as several sputum spit by others.
Now this article can no longer be seen on the Internet. I clicked in at noon and found that it had been deleted, and the Weibo post of "Sohu News" was also deleted. But some netizens have taken screenshots before we can see this article.
"Sohu" dares to report the dark side of Shanghai square cabin hospital, which is a rather rare situation. Content like this is usually only reported by overseas media or self-media, and it is difficult to see it in mainland China.
On the one hand, it is because this kind of diablo is not good for the party's image. In Little Pink's words, exposing this dark side is "handing a knife" to foreign forces. On the other hand, Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control involves political wrestling. Sun Chunlan advocates "clearing" and Li Qiang prefers "precise prevention and control."
At the critical moment when Sun Chunlan and Li Qiang were wrestling, "Sohu" took the initiative to expose the dark side of the Fangcang shelter hospital. Could it be that Li Qiang was standing in the team and attacking Sun Chunlan?
No matter what, seriously, I hope that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible and end soon. Because I found that although the virus is not terrible, the people who play with it are terrible. In this natural disaster + man-made disaster, man-made disaster is far greater than natural disaster. Under the man-made disasters they created, the people of Shanghai could only rely on themselves to save themselves.

Goodness in human nature: The Shanghainese who changed your impression
A Shanghai netizen, "The wheat is ripe," recorded the grief of 26 million Shanghainese in the epidemic, and also recorded the brilliance of human nature. Her neighbors couldn't get green vegetables for a long time, because a friend helped her get a piece of water celery, and the neighbor said "I cried". Just a piece of water celery can move people to tears. How difficult is the life of Shanghai people?
A few days ago, "the wheat is ripe" said in the building group that the food is about to run out, and then an unknown neighbor downstairs, a mother of a second child, took the initiative to add her WeChat and asked "wheat is ripe" if she needed it. Need rice vegetables.
"The wheat is ripe" and said to the other party, "Sister, can I give you a red envelope? I'm really grateful! I don't know how to thank you." The other party replied that "friendship is priceless", and jokingly said that "red envelopes can't be packaged". "The wheat is ripe" and said that when the lockdown is lifted to buy some snacks for the children, he will be moved to tears. The other party said, "Don't worry, you are well, everyone is well."
"Wheat is ready" received the whole package of rice that the second-born mother put in the elevator, as well as vegetables, meat, mustard, milk and snacks. "The wheat is ripe" wrote "I burst into tears on the spot."
I think in the face of such a scene, no one will not be moved. In normal times, these things might be nothing. But now is the peak of the epidemic, and the city is still in the stage of closure. Many people couldn't grab the food, but this kind neighbor offered her so much. This is saving lives, sacrificing yourself to save others.
A mother said in the group that the child is only 86 days old, but the milk powder has bottomed out. Originally, she wanted to mix half of milk powder and breast milk, but the refrigerator became more and more empty. She herself only dared to eat 70% full at each meal, and the amount of breast milk became less and less. Her husband didn't want to cause trouble to the neighbors, so she told her to bear it for a while and find a way to grab the food on her own.
However she still sent a tentative sentence, "I added four mother and baby groups, and I didn't buy a can of milk powder. Meituan applied for emergency help, but there was no feedback. The 86-day-old baby changed from six meals a day to six meals a day. Four meals a day."
With this sentence, the neighbors immediately began to act. Some people put wild crucian carp and green vegetables that they couldn't bear to eat at her door, and some people brought her bone soup that was originally made for her daughter. Some neighbors said half-jokingly, "My husband's thoughts are not important, but my own and my children's bodies are the most important."
A girl who hasn't eaten meat for a long time wants to exchange 2 tomatoes for a neighbor's sausage. Unexpectedly, in the bag that the neighbor returned, the tomatoes were intact, but there were 3 sausages.
Who would have thought that the nodding acquaintances who hardly knew each other on weekdays have now become the support for each other among Shanghai people.
"The wheat is ripe" wrote, "No one should help anyone, but everyone is thinking of others in their own way." "In the process, each person becomes the spiritual anchor of others". "Working hard every day to live well is the greatest comfort to those around you."
"The wheat is cooked," wrote that in the self-help and mutual assistance of Shanghai residents, people truly felt the warmth and kindness, all from the unknown he and them: the enthusiastic aunt who knocked on the door carrying the rice and noodles, and also the WeChat The head of the group who answered questions patiently; the volunteer who moved and distributed supplies upstairs and downstairs; the driver of the truck who had to drift on the road to deliver food to Shanghai; the blogger who voiced help online for the elderly, the young, the pregnant and the disabled They are also young people who buy and borrow medicine for the elderly...
"The wheat is ripe" finally wrote, "In the epidemic, everyone is difficult. But when you feel down and sad, think about them standing with you and struggling. Please do your best to take care of yourself and be an anchor. , stick to our own camp. In this way, when countless anchor points are connected, we are a harbour."
