Fire victims deserve sympathy

Three retailers who ran to their shops to save their money after a wholesale agricultural market in Shanghai caught fire were caught in the flames and burned to death on Sunday. The tragedy has prompted some netizens to ridicule their desperate attempt to save their money. But the retailers' action should be seen sympathetically because they wanted to retrieve what could have been their life's savings, says an article on gmw.cn. Excerpts:

Many of the retailers in the market ran to save their lives while others rushed in to save their source of livelihood. Later, shop owners in other markets said they don't know what they would do in a similar situation. A trip to any market would reveal that their little savings are the only thing many retailers can count on to feed and improve the life of their families.
