Both pics appeared in diff articles on TheStandard so couldn't help noticing...but basically the Shanghainese are complaining being in a situation that HK considers as a much needed reprieve? They're really not making the best of their situation, I think if the same happened in HK now, it'll turn into a party in no time, with ppl busking making friends and garage sales popping up.
Yes, the toilet to human ratio vey low but very few man-made toilets out there too.. When desperate, a bush or whole of nature can be a toilet.
