Mr. Zhou, a retiree in Shanghai, told The Epoch Times, “An annual income of 4,000 yuan ($617) is equivalent to a bit more than 300 yuan ($46) a month. How can it be considered above poverty?” He revealed that a person in Shanghai needs at least 500 yuan ($77) to buy food every month. “There is also at least 200 yuan ($30) for transportation and at least 2,000 yuan ($300) to rent a place to live each month.”
