Shanghai is locked down, and many residents of the community are starving, and people's grievances are boiling. At night of 8 April 2022, residents of Kangting Community, Jiuting Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai protested collectively, demanding the government to distribute supplies, and clashed with the police. Some netizens sighed: There are no awakened people, only people who can't bear it!

At night of 8 April, the reporter received several submissions from residents of Jiuting Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai. The video shows that residents of Kangting Community, Jiuting Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai gathered in front of the gate and shouted, "Kangting Community, send supplies, Kangting Community, send supplies!"

The video also showed that protesters clashed with the authorities, and that police officers were suspected of firing shots and a man was taken away by "Dabai".

NTDTV's special correspondent called the local police station in Jiuting Town at night of 8 April. The policeman on duty said that he "has grasped" what happened in the video, and said that the police were on the scene to deal with it.

In response to the suspected gunshots in the video, the reporter asked if the police had fired, and the police on duty demanded "not to spread rumours or believe in rumours."

A self-proclaimed resident of the community “Bao….” introduced on Weibo that their community has been closed and controlled since mid-March, and they could still be bought from Meituan at that time. Later, it was completely closed and controlled from 22 March. As of today, only one supplies have been distributed, and a few families barely had a meal. Before April, the platform was lucky to grab orders and could piece together a little bit. After April, it was completely impossible to engage in  group purchases and all kinds of group additions, resulting in soaring prices. The neighborhood committee could not be contacted, and the group purchases in recent days could not be delivered.

He also said, "Today's incident happened because an owner went down to communicate, but was beaten by Dabai, that caused dissatisfaction among the upstairs residents, and residents came to support one after another, and there was a scene where everyone collectively shouted for 'distribution of supplies'."

There is also a Weibo netizen "Hu..." who claimed to have personally experienced the struggle of Jiuting residents. When the community was first closed, there were volunteers in each building. Later, the number of infections was not controlled, and finally the town's volunteers took over and removed it. Diagnoses are reported every day without notification. Residents shouted out supplies from the windows the other night but there has been no response.

This wave of protests was caused by a proprietor driving a car and honking his horn at the side of the community to protest, and was finally stopped by Dabai, who grabbed and pulled him.

There are also Weibo netizens who left a message after the relevant video: Some people eat only one bag of instant noodles every day for more than ten consecutive days at home; some people rely on neighbours to donate steamed buns and biscuits to survive; some people sell anti-epidemic materials from Baoshan Yuepu to Songjiang at a high price; Those in Songjiang have never received supplies and knocked on pots to protest in the middle of the night; the people's panic about running out of food is far greater than the epidemic.

According to many local people's comments on Weibo, Songjiang Jiuting residents cannot buy everything. All the grocery shopping software is out of service. Even if the price rises, the supplies are only received once during the closure period.

Another person said, "Juting has been closed off and on since 4 March, and Mao has not seen it yet. I don't know where the supplies are. The neighborhood committee said that they could not win it and asked the residents to save themselves. The key dishes are also not available. Today's group purchase. High-priced dishes are rotten, and meat is stinky."

Some netizens left a message, "There are no awakened people, only people who can't bear it!"

Another person said, "I think it's very strange, many people don't believe it, in Shanghai in 2022, they have to worry about whether they will starve to death. They only know to tell others that they believe in ZF, I believe ZF for more than 20 days, and my quality of life has plummeted. Food and clothing have become a problem. What did Zf do? Here to refute rumours, there is no real thing!"
