This morning, after I got up, my mother came back from supermarket and asked me a question, "Do you know what is the hottest news today?"I reply,"Has Japan's nuclear power plant a extreme explosion?""No."I released and asked again,"So, what?""The salt in our local market have been sold out. They were all bought by people.""...?""Those who couldnot buy salt begin to buy soy-bean sauce."
Later, one of my neighbour told me, he has walked to 1 nearby market and proved that this was true again. And he said that he donot want to go to buy it from privat store, "That quality is no guarantee."(Maybe he donot know, even if he go to those places, he couldnot buy even 1 package salt.)
A package of salt(1 package is 500g.)has been sold as 5 yuan RMB. Someone told me that some places couldnot buy even if you pay 10 yuan. The highest record got from Tv is 30 yuan(about 500 円en). Some rich people began to buy salt from Australia, 6 yuan, but smaller package.
In our local friendship store(kuwangchow Friendship Store) allowed each one buy 5 packages salt, till this afternoon it began to limit each one could just 2.
This storm began to land Hongkong. People begin to buy or to hoard salt, soy-bean sauce, rice etc. at their local markets. From this noon Hongkong Tv news said that someone buy salt a truck one by one to Hongkong's boarder and then transpot to inland China. These make the situation begin worse and worse.
Why? I think. As I think before, this has a tying relation with losing government's trust. A lot of rumor will become true at last. So, everyone could just keep a contrary point to understand one government's announcement.(1 TV presenter also express this point in our local Tv.)
Another reason is inflation. Maybe this is people show their fearnese for inflation of present by this fuse. Our inflation make us to bend till our limit!(Similar this has occured in our country in 1988.)
Maybe this would be disappeared soon. But it ask us more to consider with-how to handle the relation with citizen and how to solve the pression brought to citizen by inflation.
