In the past few months, masks in the whole city have been in a hurry, but there is a warehouse full of boxes of anti-epidemic materials, masks, alcohol hand rubs, protective clothing, etc. in the city. full".

They are the leading figures of "enterprise Hong Kong" in social enterprises. They are convinced that "the competition must be insufficient, and the sharing must be more than enough." Afterwards, 5 million masks and 10 million pieces of anti-epidemic products were successfully delivered to Hong Kong at the end of this month. They are planned to be made into anti-epidemic packages and sent to vulnerable groups by social welfare agencies. They will also launch free purchase matching to connect the society to the public. .

Lack of supplies may not keep up with the rate of consumption, but the relationship is always full. They hope that Hong Kong people will watch each other. "This field is a tough battle where no one knows the end point. I don't think someone will fight alone."

"Well, if you have ten boxes of masks, you can do it yourself." Zhou Peibo, the founder of "Go to Hong Kong" who was born at the grassroots level, is also a member of the Poverty Alleviation Committee. He believes that no one can stand alone in the face of the epidemic.

For the past six years, "Cheer on Hong Kong" has been a daily requirement for grass-roots oil and salt of high quality, so that citizens will not be forced to use inferior products because of poverty. Group purchase orders from social welfare agencies have been continuously received. When a new type of coronavirus came quietly, Hong Kong people were caught off guard by buying masks and toilet paper. They also felt anxious directly: "Someone bought 10 toilet papers in one go. I also saw young people's masks reused, reused, and washed. Spray again. "

When the team dispatched masks, they saw a lot of sad pictures. "I got one, but I reused it many times and I was willing to get rid of Li." Once the old man received it with a smile on his face, he could finally abandon the old mask covered with dust and mold. (Courtesy of Hong Kong)

The team was on vacation until the tenth day of the new year, but everyone has returned to work on the third day of the year to collect masks, and their online shopping footprint has spread to more than 60 countries. Although the purchase is a veteran banker, it is the first time to fight against time and masks, but like many citizens, after leaving a message of "two boxes of thx" on the Internet, they only failed. One of the executive director of flapping masks, Junjun Chen, revealed that the team thought it was very exciting to successfully order 10 million European masks. Later, after repeated verification, it was found that the ordering website was a fake webpage, and the purchase was stopped.

In the face of the global tide of mask grabs, it is common for people to be robbed at high prices before the goods arrive. Zhou Peibo is no exception. He can only move the other side with sincerity. I went to Indonesia to buy masks instead of purchasing hand lotion. At the beginning, the manufacturers insisted on leaving the goods to the locals. The only way to recount is the embarrassment of the grassroots in Hong Kong. There was a burst of tears, "It's a picture, one uncle shouted holding the other uncle." Eventually, the other party's attitude softened, and he even agreed to supply.

The network is also the capital. Zhou Peibo made extensive contacts with leaders of social enterprises in various countries. He tried to ask a friend of Central America to wear needles and lead wires in the local area, and the other party drove around to search and buy. "I went to some 60 factories and arrived in the early hours. It was really moving."

Starting from scratch and struggling for more than a month, it was finally possible to ship 5 million masks to Hong Kong by the end of this month. Becoming a "rich household" in masks, getting rich is just a matter of thought, "hoarding Qimi and earning money, and some big companies candidly buy the sun at double the price." "What does the halo stand for?"

Everything is for the original purpose. In the early days of the anti-epidemic, citizens and elders lined up to buy masks. The two looked sad in their eyes. "What kind of message will you feel when you feel sad ... because you are poor? Because you are incapable, you have to suffer more. Arrived at night? "They finally gave up opening a position to sell masks," want to gather together to buy or buy, and use high-risk methods to obtain anti-epidemic supplies ", and finally decided to distribute them to those in need through social welfare agencies. ".

The beneficiary eyes of the beneficiaries are all in silence. During Zhou Peibo ’s distribution of masks in person, a mother-in-law burst into tears as soon as she received it. He recalled that her voice was also trembling slightly. "A mother-in-law is a precious gift. It ’s more important than me. I originally wanted to be a rock, and it was more important than many other fields. "

"Cheer on Hong Kong" launched the "Hong Kong, cheer on!" Anti-adversity action, which has searched for 5 million masks worldwide, and cooperated with social welfare agencies to provide the needs of vulnerable groups and medical care. The team also received support from a number of authoritative scholars from the University of Hong Kong, including Li Qinglong, Kong Fanyi, and Liang Zhuowei. ("Hong Kong, come on!"

They expect to be able to stably supply to social welfare organizations and support the epidemic prevention. However, due to the shortage of logistics chains and materials, they dare not make arbitrarily guarantees, but they will do their best to be watchmen in the social welfare industry. For small organizations, employees have to help the center line up to buy masks. At the same time, they need to open services. This service is important to the community. "
