In order to drive local consumption and ease the economic pressure of the public, Chen Maobo decided to grant 10,000 yuan to Hong Kong permanent residents aged 18 or above, which is expected to benefit 7 million people. The government hopes that the whole people will send 10,000 yuan to revitalize the economy. However, given the spread of pneumonia in Wuhan, will the people choose to buy 10,000 yuan for epidemic prevention equipment or reserve daily-use diesel oil and salt? What can I buy for 10,000 yuan? The public bluntly stated that they are not excited at all and will not use 10,000 yuan to "promote the economy." They even ask "Are you happy to celebrate?"
