The most important measure must be a cash deposit of 10,000 yuan to Hong Kong permanent residents aged 18 or above. It is expected that 7 million people will benefit and 71 billion yuan will be involved. yuan. However, the value of this 10,000 yuan varies from person to person. The "Hong Kong 01" reporters respectively visited the 18 districts in Wan Chai District with the highest median monthly income and the lowest Kwun Tong District to see how the public intends to use it. Feng Jian is owned by people. Although the citizens of the two districts have different attitudes towards money distribution, they are worried that they will repeat the chaos of 4,000 yuan sent by the government's care and sharing scheme last year, with a bitter smile "It was very good before 2047."

According to statistics from the Census and Statistics Department, the district with the lowest monthly median household income in Hong Kong is Kwun Tong, the median household income is 22,000 yuan, and the richest district is Wan Chai. The median household income is 42,000 yuan. Reporter Yu Wanchai interviewed the citizens randomly. Ms. Chen pointed out that the amount of 10,000 yuan was not too much, and many citizens had spent a lot to purchase masks and other anti-epidemic materials. When asked how she would use the money, she thought it would be more practical to donate to those in need, and would consider helping the homeless or the street sleepers in Sham Shui Po.

Another Miss Chen pointed out that due to the recent epidemic, everyone stayed at home, thinking that after the epidemic, everyone could use the 10,000 yuan to go out for consumption and stimulate the economy. She recalled that in 2011, when the then Financial Secretary Zeng Junhua distributed 6,000 yuan to the public, some people also called for the wealthy to donate money to those in need, so she would consider it.

Compared with Wan Chai District, residents in Kwun Tong District are more realistic. Huang mother-in-law living in the area of Cuiping Village did not notice the news in the morning, and was very happy after being told by the reporter that the money was 10,000 yuan, which was intended to be used to purchase daily necessities and to invite friends to meet at the tea house.
Ms. Xia, who has three children, scolded that the money distribution measures came too late to provide timely relief to the needs of the public. She sighed that the masks are expensive and can only buy some cheap and poor-quality masks. If you receive 10,000 yuan or There are more choices, and you can add some fitting clothes for children. The only amount of ten thousand yuan is unknown at the time, so I dare not spend money arbitrarily. I think it is better to save a little under the current economic situation.

Whether in Wan Chai or Kwun Tong, the residents of the two districts have a common concern: the way and time of money distribution, and many people worry that the situation of "4,000 yuan 2.0" will occur again. The government distributed 4,000 yuan through the "Caring and Sharing Plan" early last year, but due to the complicated procedures and some administrative confusion, some people still did not receive the payment by the end of last year. In the face of this money distribution, someone said with a smile: "It was very good before 2047", and suggested that the government should save administrative costs. "It is best to deposit directly into the bank like Zeng Junhua, the fastest and most convenient."
