SOS,Chenzhou City need help! the city isolated from heavy snow need your help!

"my wife tells me that what she wish most is a warm-water bath,but now it is a mission impossible!", Huang, a local citizen, told the reporter.

All Shops and Banks Closed.

Since snowsnow assaulted the city in 24th,January, all water and electricity supply to Chenzhou city has been off for 6 days and 6 nights. Some citizens here have ate up their food stock. Even the electricity supply to hospitcal now is off. Most shops and bank are closed. All ATMs are not available anymore either.

The price of all vegetables doubled. Candles are in urgent demand. " Now one candle even costs 50 yuan (8 USD) !" Huang said. the ticket of buses also rockets,so is the service of taxi. All Hotels Occupied ,Even Without the Supply of Electricity and Water

After all electricity and water was off, people find their homes as cold as ice houses. So, local people all rush to hotels,because most hotels has backup power-generator. If provided with electricity and AC, even a single-room now cost 498 Yuan(about 70 USD) one day. but even such an irriduculous price can stop people occupy all hotels.

"We can't provide any water any more.AC is not available either. If you want to book a room here, You have to buy bottle-water yourself for washing!" the receptionists in a local four-star hotel, Chenzhou Hotel Inte,told the reporter frankly.But even so,a single room here still costs 758 Yuan(about 110 USD) every day and only two rooms are not occupied now. Even closestool of hotel is not available due to the lack of water.

Those Lhobas look like a dangerous threat to the PRC government - their population might even double. ;)

Chenzhou City has a population of 4.1 million. That’s larger than the city of Los Angeles. I cannot imagine how anyone says that China is anything but a third-world country. She is choking on her own pollution, running out of water, and burdened with an archaic government structure that is more interested in maintaining its grip on power than truly helping its people.

Wal Mart is on their way.... can’t let a little thing like mother nature stand in the way of exporting our wealth to a third world nation with dubious political agendas.

We could send a shipload of supplies and then we could change our mind at the last minute and turn our ship around and leave.
