During the New Year, Wuhan's new coronavirus is still raging across the country, and the number of confirmed cases is increasing every day.
Today is the tenth day after the lockdown of Wuhan!
As of 24:00 on January 31, a total of 11,791 cases of new coronavirus pneumonia have been confirmed nationwide, with 259 deaths, 243 cured, 2,102 newly confirmed cases, and 17,988 suspected cases.
Academician Zhong Nanshan revealed in an interview on the 28th that the epidemic will reach its peak in about a week or ten days.
He also particularly emphasized that it is still not suitable for travel at this stage, especially in Wuhan. This is not only a personal matter, but also a matter of the whole society.
In such a special period, the whole country should be united to fight the epidemic, but there are some people who fear that the world will not be chaotic, and make money through the national crisis, doing things that hurt the nature and the truth.
Many pharmacies in China took advantage of the fire to drive up prices and sell masks at high prices. Masks that are usually less than ten yuan a pack are now sold for hundreds of yuan.
even some unscrupulous traders recycle discarded masks and sell them again after simple treatment to make a profit. This kind of obsolete mask of
is contaminated with various germs. Once it causes secondary transmission, the consequences will be disastrous.
In the face of a severe epidemic, these people not only don't know how to help generously, but seize business opportunities and want to make a fortune. In fact, they are challenging the conscience of human nature, which is disgusting.
Don't think that only murder and arson, block the way and rob, are the wicked.
Taking advantage of people’s dangers and falling into trouble, to profit for themselves at the cost of harming the lives, health and interests of others is also a kind of evil.
Confucius once said in "Confucius' Family Words": husband harms others and benefits himself, and his body is ominous.
It is understandable that people who live forever, dare to chase their own interests.
But the terrible thing is that in this process, too many people gradually lose their most basic conscience, and they do all kinds of things that break through the moral bottom line and harm the interests of others.
earns such money without conscience, it is difficult for them to rest in their hearts. One day, they will also suffer from their own evil results and pay a painful price for this.

Some time ago, I saw such a piece of news on the Internet.
Lu Mou of Xichang, Sichuan, encountered a financial crisis and needed money urgently.
One day, he went to visit a friend suffering from cancer, and accidentally discovered that the balance in his friend's bank card was quite large.
Therefore, Lu had a bad mind. He stole his friend's bank card while he was lying in a coma, and then used his mobile phone verification code to bind the card to his WeChat, and withdrew 110,000 yuan.
When a friend discovered that his bank card had been stolen, he reported to the police in time, and Lu was eventually detained.
After reading this news, people can't help but sigh: disregards the safety of others' lives and seizes other people's life-saving money as their own. Wouldn't the conscience hurt? Zheng Yuanjie, the fairy tale king of
, once said: "A tiger will not eat people without a tiger's nature, and a man can eat people without its human nature." For some people, all actions of
are guided by their own interests.
In order to satisfy their own self-interest, they can ignore the life, death and pain of others, and even go beyond the bottom line of the law without hesitation.
And this is the most chilling part of human nature.

I went back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year this year and met an old friend who told me about his grandfather.
Some time ago, his grandfather was doing Tai Chi in the park, and a young guy often came to him to talk to him.
came and went, and the two chatted enthusiastically. Grandpa recognized the young man as his godson and took him home for dinner from time to time.
Soon after, the "godson" repeatedly lobbied his grandpa to buy various financial products under their company on the grounds of high returns. Grandpa
was persuaded and used all his pension funds to invest in financial management. He didn't think about itToo much, I just want to get a little more interest.
However, in less than two months, Grandpa discovered that he had lost more than 300,000 yuan on his books. When he dialed "Godson" again, it prompted an empty number.
Seeing the savings that he had saved all his hard work in this life, the old man couldn't bear the blow, and he passed away. The
family is distraught and immersed in the pain of losing a loved one for a long time. Later, they learned that there were more than ten similar cases of elderly fraud in their jurisdiction.
once believed that those around him who are willing to be close to themselves are good people.
can gradually discover that there are always some people who are not kind. They play the emotional card to get close to you, but they are actually trying to defraud you of your money and trust. The world of
is not what you want. The greed and desire of the human heart are far beyond your imagination.
Therefore, at any time, you have to learn to know people with your eyes, and you should be wary of people and things, and don't let others have opportunities to take advantage of, and don't let yourself be hurt easily.

Peking University Dean Rao Yi said at the graduation ceremony:
"Please forgive me, I dare not wish every graduate success and happiness; because history unfortunately records: the price of someone’s success is loss of conscience ; The price of some people’s happiness is to harm others.”
In recent years, there has been a consensus in society: can win the world by those who are cruel.
Affected by such concepts, some people rush to break the rules, use all kinds of despicable tricks, and try their best to calculate others. It seems that only in this way can they make more money and be admired by the world. In order to maximize their personal interests, they do not hesitate to abandon their principles and bottom line. For a long time, it will inevitably fall into endless paralysis, and it will be difficult to obtain true happiness after all.
once read a story about the red-top businessman Hu Xueyan in the late Qing Dynasty.
There was a businessman who failed miserably in his business and needed a large capital turnover.
In order to save the emergency, he took the initiative to come to the door and offered a low price to let Hu Xueyan buy his own property.
Hu Xueyan offered a normal market price to purchase the other party’s industry.
's subordinates asked Hu Xueyan, why didn't they eat the fat delivered to the door.
Hu Xueyan said:
"The business of that businessman may have been accumulated by several generations. If I buy at the price he offered, of course it will be a great advantage, but they may not be able to turn over for a lifetime.
This is not a simple investment. Instead, he saved a family, made friends, and was worthy of his conscience."
Everyone who has a conscience has a clear moral bottom line in his heart. They understand that anything that crosses the line must not be touched easily. This is a human being. the rules.
is precisely this kind of pure character that allows them to gain more opportunities and good popularity, and the road to life will become wider and wider.
Li Ka-shing once said: “For those who are determined to change the world, a substantial conscience is as important as talent.”
Everyone should have a set of ethical principles to regulate their daily words and deeds.
does not break through the bottom line of the rules, does not trample on the interests and dignity of others, always has a heart of compassion, and helps the weak. This is a person's deep kindness.
May you always abide by your conscience, distinguish right from wrong, and use kindness to awaken those numb hearts instead of being changed by this world.
