Let It Snow!?

Obviously those are the last words that would come to minds of Chinese people. I'm pretty sure that they are fed up with snow, with impassable roads, railways, with planes that cannot take off, freezing snowstorms, with the fact that they are stuck home even though that's the last place they would like to be (especially when it's New Year's time). It's calamity, it's disaster. The snow divided whole families and cause real tragedies. And the shops and businessmen are sorrowful as well. People are in their houses, just watching the hell outside, not even thinking about going out. And when they are in safety of their homes, how could they go to do some shopping? And no shopping means no money. By the time of Chinese New Year there's a buzz all around and busy days, hyper-buying activity, hyper-sales, myriads of young (and well-paid) people are coming back home to visit their parents and to give them money to buy things. And that's what makes poor retailers so sad (the snow will be gone for sure, but who will recompense the losses they all have recorded because of the storms?). And maybe they are planning revenge. Those retailers who are selling warm clothes, elementary supplies etc. are doing much more better. That's the way it goes. When nature's in a rage, you evidently don't need high heels, nail polish, plasma TV and so on. Simply, you just revalue your needs. And maybe people in China should get used to such a weather. Current volume of CO2 production, systematical pollution of air, land and water in order to achieve fast economic growth means that China becomes a ticking bomb. The point is, ticking doesn't include only annoying sound but mainly weather changes and environmental disasters.
