Under the New Coronary Pneumonia, entry into Hong Kong from the Mainland is subject to mandatory quarantine on the 14th. Free-traveling passengers with a 7-person visa will not be able to come to Hong Kong in disguise during the Golden Week this year.

The Kowloon City Ferry, To Kwa Wan to Hung Hom has always been a great place for gathering, dining and shopping in the mainland. The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" visited the scene last Saturday (25th). Most of the restaurants that used to dine in the past have been closed. Some pharmacies only opened the gates to continue business, and Mr. Luo, the boss, sat for half a day, and there were not many neighborhoods that came in for shopping. "It ’s a good day. I sold ten masks and eight boxes of masks. Banks posted money! "But hundreds of thousands of goods could not be changed, the rent still had to be paid, plus the hope that the guys would continue to work hard, and alone to continue to hold the Golden Week. He said optimistically: "I will wait for everything. In June, the mainland regiment will start one after another! Most of them will go bankrupt, and if there is life, there may be hope."

I do n’t want to think about Hong Kong ’s death! My family fights against the epidemic for a long time. If you die, you will have a good life.

Some lights in the pharmacy can not be turned on to save electricity costs

Over the years, the rise of the mainland regiment has begun. The area from To Kwa Wan to Hung Hom has become a "land" for the itinerary, bringing them a "good place" for dining, shopping and boat trips to Victoria Harbour; The situation of disputes between cars and roads between residents and passengers has occurred for many years. "Hong Kong 01" reporter visited the scene last Saturday (25th). At least five hotels along the road mainly serving mainland groups were temporarily closed. There was no one in the store and there were no notices of closure; chocolate hand letter shops and gold shops also There is no business opening, and some pharmacies are operating with a half-open iron gate. In order to reduce electricity consumption, the internal lights of the store are not turned on, and only one or two people are left to watch. The street is neat and clean than before, but at the same time it looks deserted.

One of the pharmacies on the beautiful street of To Kwa Wan opened halfway. The boss Mr. Luo sat in the store, and only half of the lights were on. Mr. Luo said that 7 to 8 years after the pharmacy opened, there was an anti-repair demonstration just after the lease renewal in June last year. The number of tourists dropped sharply. The epidemic was severe this year. The main customer source has disappeared, and it is almost rent-free every month. "Well, it's useless. You can't do it. The deposit will not be returned. Will the landlord let you go?"

Mr. Luo stayed alone in the store. He said that there were many goods in the store, and the loss would be even greater once he left the market. (Photo by Hong Kong 01 reporter)

Owners reduce rents and sell masks to "up" stores

Boss Luo said that last year, when the contract was renewed with the landlord, the rent for the nearly 1,000-square-foot shop was 50,000 yuan. Under the severe epidemic, the rent was reduced by 30% in the past two months. Currently ten or eight boxes of masks with a price of nearly 200 yuan each are sold to "push up", which cannot be maintained at all. "In the past, tourists haven't been a big guest. It's just called enough to eat two meals. Zhong is going to borrow money from the bank. Fortunately, the anti-epidemic fund seems to help scare, not to death! "He pointed out that there are too many goods in the store, can not change hands, do not want to suffer in vain," I ’ll add the goods Buried into 600,000, I will wait for it! June! The mainland group will start to open one after another! "

Asked if he was too optimistic about the progress of the epidemic, Luo said: "It's wishful thinking and optimistic, but it's useless to cry bitterly! I don't think the mainland will think of Hong Kong's death! My family lives long with the epidemic. It ’s already good, there is a chance to suffer, and there is hope! "Originally, the 10 guys worked together, and they are currently suspended from work. Luo only provided them with MPF funds to" support ", and hopes that the market will recover and can fight together. , "I'm so willing to talk, I have been with me for many years, and I want to return soon."
