hi , Lander . What's wrong ?   I can hardly make ends meet these days .   same here . I have't brought any new clothes for three months .   my income remains the same but prices just continue to rise .   true . The news says that there is a general increase in the price of daily necessities .   definitely . I have to spend 300 yuan more on food every month .   the biggest price jump is for pork , so most people have to turn to chicken .   is that inflation ?   inflation is more than just the rising prices , I guess . But the central bank is warning about the risk of inflation .   has the government taken some measures to curb it ?   yes . The government has banned price hikes in some key industries like energy .   but I'm afraid the price hikes will spill over from food into other areas of the economy .
