Location: Qingdao City, Shandong Province

Background: Many taxi drivers have little or no income when residents stay at home to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection. But they still have to pay monthly fees to their taxi company. Some try to make a living by selling vegetables. However, urban management officers show no pity for them, confiscating their produce. - Man: I’m a taxi driver in Shandong Province. Today, I was selling chives and cabbages at the intersection of Ruiyang Road and Shangrao Road. The urban management officers forbid me to sell vegetables. I felt helpless and I knelt down to beg them. They called 120 to report me to the police, because I held a cabbage knife in my hand.
