At the same time, according to the video footage, we found Ms. Ma, the person involved in "throwing the whole box of materials into the garbage truck" in the video. The sanitation workers were dealing with Ms. Ma's materials.
"Everything I throw away has nothing to do with the donated materials. People who spread rumors on the Internet are really fed up. We have already lost because of the epidemic. Why are we spreading rumors?" Ms. Ma said. There is a shop in Xinqiao Shangyuan, Songjiang District, which is engaged in food business such as drinks.
It is reported that since the first ten days of March, the surrounding communities have been temporarily closed and managed intermittently. In order to ease the difficulty for residents to buy vegetables, Ms. Ma's store has increased the supply of vegetables and other agricultural products.
Before the closure and control of the Puxi area on April 1, the store happened to complete the purchase of a batch of agricultural products, which were packed in the white foam packaging box photographed in the video.
After that, the community has not been completely unblocked, and the small shop cannot operate.
Ms. Ma had board and lodging in the store, and checked the agricultural products from time to time to sort out the products that were still available for sale.
By April 23, she found that most of the produce was unsellable, some of which were badly rotted, and decided to throw it away.
At first, Ms. Ma planned to throw the rotten agricultural products into the trash can, but the quantity was large and the smell was heavy. The property staff said that they could temporarily stack these products in boxes on the road next to the store, and asked the sanitation workers to dispose of them uniformly.
When the sanitation workers came to the area to clean up the garbage that day, they received an application from the relevant property and Ms. Ma to dispose of the spoiled agricultural products.
The workers also checked the agricultural products in the foam box before cleaning, and found that they were indeed rotten, so they put them into the garbage truck, and then dispose of the packaging box and the agricultural products separately.
Ms. Ma said that the delay in resuming business has led to the rot of agricultural products, and the small shop has already suffered a lot of losses. "It's really distressing, but this is in order to cooperate with epidemic prevention, so we can only bear it first. We made it into rumors? We have become victims of rumors again." She hopes that the Shanghai rumor-refuting platform can clarify the facts, and also hopes that the public will not waste time on these false news, but cooperate with the fight against the epidemic and return to normal life as soon as possible and operating.
In addition, through searching social networks, it was found that many netizens have shared photos, expressing their thanks to the anti-epidemic materials "donated by Zhao Liying" and expressing their gratitude to Shanghai.
