Nan Ren
20 BILLION YUAN
 
An official from the civil aviation board said,
because of the virus,
they reimbursed tickets
for over 20 billion yuan.

All these banknotes should fly in the sky,
now they are down in the dust,
they change into rice, pasta and oil,
change into water fee, electricity fee, gas fee,
change into masks, toilet paper, 84-disinfectant

Some even change into
hospital admittance fee, medicine expense, funeral costs.
From now on they’ll never fly anymore.
