Um. In the U.S. I could still go for a walk outside, or out to the grocery store, or grab some fast-food at the drive-through. In China people were being boarded up in their homes… as in, literally boarded up with hammer and nails.
The anti-lockdown protest, later known as A4 revolution was triggered by Ürümqi fire where the firetruck was unable to reach the scene because no one dare to leave their residence to move their parked cars.
As a side note, A4 protest started as a single female student holding a piece of white paper in Nanjing Communication College for a entire day in solitude (the man in the picture is allegedly a teacher of the college, taking away her white paper)
and many other students joining her later in the night
Later the A4 (or “white paper”) symbolism extended to the entire world as a pillar against oppression and censorship. We should all remember this brave young lady.
Love how y’all hate anti lockdown protesters in USA but cheer them on in China.
