Daily Productive Sharing 915 - Letter of 2022
One helpful tip per day:)
This is Dan Wang's annual letter for 2022. Although these absurd three years have long passed, reading about them still inevitably brings sadness:
- He immediately bought a plane ticket and fled to Yunnan when Shanghai announced the impending lockdown. Then, he spent over two months leisurely in Yunnan.
- Dali is cooler than Xishuangbanna and sunnier than Shangri-La; hence it's jokingly called "Dali-fornia," as it's only one letter away from California.
- The high mountains make it difficult for Yunnan to develop industrially, but this has turned it into a haven for those seeking to escape the world.
- Elderly people in Shanghai joked that the lockdown wasn't the worst thing, as they had already experienced the ten years of the Cultural Revolution. The lockdown gave everyone a taste of "common prosperity" in advance.
- The biggest challenge of the Shanghai lockdown was psychological, as no one knew when it would end.
- The people of Shanghai experienced two shortages: a food shortage in the spring and a fever medicine shortage in the winter. The shortage of fever medicine was absurd - during a pandemic where fever is a major symptom, fever medicine was restricted for purchase, so pharmacies didn't stock up, and manufacturers stopped producing.
- Around December 7th, all official media were two-faced, except for one person who never spoke out. It was all his responsibility, yet he didn't have to take any.
- Over the past seventy years, every turmoil has been a man-made disaster.

这是 Dan Wang 写的2022年度之信。尽管这荒谬的三年已经过去了许久，但是读到这些还是难免让人难过：
- 他在上海宣布即将封城后，立马买了机票逃到了云南。然后在云南逍遥了两个多月；
- 大理比西双版纳凉快，又比香格里拉多点阳光；所以被人戏称为“大理福尼亚”，因为和 Califonia 只差一个字母；
- 高山让云南难以发展工业，但业因此让它成为了避世之地；
- 上海的老人戏言道，封城还不是最惨的，毕竟都经历过十年文革。封城让大家提前体验了“共同富裕“；
- 上海封城带来最大的挑战是心理上的，因为谁都不知道晒时候会结束；
- 上海民众经历了两次短缺：春季的食物短缺和冬季的退烧药短缺；而退烧药的短缺非常荒谬 -- 一个主要症状是发烧的大流行病的前提下，退烧药居然被限制购买，所以药房没有备货，药厂不再生产；
- 12月7号前后，所有的喉舌都是两面派，唯独一个人从来不发声，明明都是他的责任，他却什么都不用负责；
- 在过去的七十多年里，每一次折腾都是人祸。
