The COVID epidemic in Shanghai continues to be serious. Due to the strict closure and control, the transportation and trading of living materials are restricted, and a large number of citizens are generally facing the problem of food shortages. According to Chinese self-media sources, even the staff of the Japanese consulate general in Shanghai also faced the problem of running out of food, leaving only instant noodles, and lacking other food such as vegetables, so they could only ask for help from the residents of the nearby community. A resident replied: "Can I exchange a Japanese passport for a meal of seafood?"

On the 17th, the official account of the media "Bangjiao Information" reported that in a WeChat group in a Shanghai community, a resident sent a message to assist the staff of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.

A resident said, "Neighbors and friends, the staff of the Japanese Embassy next door now needs food support from our community. There are four people in total, and now only instant noodles are left. If you have surplus vegetables/meat/rice at home, etc. If people are willing to support, I will open a solitaire later and everyone can sign up and I will go to get the ingredients later to help them by delivering them to the guard at the Consulate General”

Many residents in the WeChat group immediately expressed their support. Some people took the initiative to add WeChat to provide supplies, some said they wanted to provide cigarettes, and some asked if they needed kitchen utensils. However, some people joked: "Can I exchange a Japanese passport for a seafood meal?"
