During the social sports in the second half of 2019, multiple schools suspended classes and swimming training was blocked, and his income has decreased. In winter, he will encounter new coronary pneumonia. The situation is even more severe. If he only depends on his peers who teach diving and swimming , Close to zero income in half a year.

In the second round of the Hong Kong Government's anti-epidemic and anti-epidemic funds, each type of premises, such as fitness centers and billiard rooms, that are temporarily closed due to the epidemic situation, will receive a subsidy of 7,500 yuan for each coach registered with the Sports Federation. However, Yun Dade said that the qualifications required by the government are too high, and only a small number of peers can receive subsidies. "Unless the Hong Kong team coaches, it is actually difficult to receive subsidies." Therefore, many coaches can only find another way. "Professional coaches It's hard to change, and you can only take out food. But now many people compete and can't make much money from taking out food. Without license plates or sideline business, it's even worse.

He said that the total income from insurance and food delivery is only a quarter of the previous one: "No insurers want to come out to meet now, so the insurance income is average, and the lunch is delivered for three hours every day, about 300 yuan, to help make up." However, he believes that he is lucky and can apply for government subsidies in the sideline (insurance brokerage status). He hopes that the government will understand the actual situation in the industry and support a group of coaches.
