Wuhan has a custom of offering incense to relatives who died in the past year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the price of flowers in Wuhan has soared this year that major florists are still selling out of stock, making people lament the tragic Wuhan epidemic. However, the official media of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has reported the joy of the funeral, provoking public anger.
Cai Xia, a professor at the former Communist Party School, tweeted today (Feb. 13), “The 2020 Spring Festival has completely changed the traditional festive atmosphere for Wuhaners and Hubeians, and since then, for Wuhaners and Hubeians, the yearly Spring Festival has arrived, and the yearly day of broken hearts.”
Attached under the tweet are screenshots of many netizens’ microblogs.
“Wuhan has a custom ‘burning incense’, the first day of the year to go to the Home of those who died the year before to offer incense. Last night when I went out, there were many people on the road, the parking lot was full of cars, traffic jams, chrysanthemums are to grab, the price is not returned, white chrysanthemums yellow chrysanthemums are gone, and then in the Zhuanli door to buy 180 loose chrysanthemums and then find someone to process tied up, considered cheap. Last year too many people in Wuhan went away, Life how to say this thing.”
“Go out on Qingxiang, fortunately 11:00 on the direct move to the flower market, after meeting every person said Wuhan can not buy flowers. Last year, Wuhan walked a lot of people, most funerals are done in a hurry and simple. This year out of the door on the new incense has been extraordinarily much, 12:00 am in Wuhan even blocked out the feeling of the evening rush. A tacit, silent and reverent farewell.”
“In the morning grandfather went to the old classmates home ‘burn incense’. After coming back a burst of emotion, this year the street did not buy chrysanthemums, said Wuhan’s large suppliers are out of supply. This also indirectly reflects the misery of Wuhan last year.”
“I didn’t think there would be any chrysanthemums for sale early in the morning, but I heard that they were out of stock last night. The chrysanthemum has to take a chance and then is to grab it. It’s a painful memory for Wuhan people.”
Netizen “Guo Zi” also tweeted about the situation in Wuhan this year: “Wuhan people have a custom, in the first year of the death of a relative or friend, will go to the pillar of incense at zero o’clock on the first day of the year, and experienced last year’s epidemic in Wuhan, there is this big traffic jam, you can imagine the tragedy of Wuhan last year. Very sad and helpless.”
A netizen replied, “I wonder if the girl who cried after her mother’s hearse is well; and how the child who cried directly in front of her home on the street until ‘I don’t have a father…’ is doing in the past year; I also hope that the little girl who embraced a Family of three and said I also hope that the little girl who went to look for her Parents will become an angel to her parents, but we have lost this family on earth since then! If Wuhan had been blacked out for an hour, those cell phone owners would have found their way home.
The official media on the mainland also reported the news that flowers were sold out in Wuhan, and Hubei TV reported that the owner of a florist said that he had been running a flower store for 30 years, and although business was better in previous years, it was never as hot as this year’s scene, as long as the flowers, no matter what variety was on display, would be bought by customers in no Time.
The Hubei Daily reports that the price of flowers in Wuhan has continued to rise recently because of the high demand, and that there are no green plants to sell for the New Year’s Eve, and even the common silver willow is “limited”.
Every year, before the 15th of the first month, is the peak season for the sale of New Year’s Eve flowers. Surprisingly, this year’s season has just begun, the flower market stores selling greenery is basically “empty”, shopkeepers have said there are no flowers to sell.
The official report explained this as “people buying flowers meant to be bullish” and “Wuhan prevention and control is very strong, the market demand is particularly strong”. The last sentence of the official media article is “Did you buy flowers this New Year?” The last sentence of the official media article, “Did you buy flowers this year?
“What day was it last year? What kind of flowers did you buy? Why didn’t the official media mention that the flower stores were out of stock and that the custom of burning incense in Wuhan was related? Such cruel desecration of people’s sadness, so disgusting to please the power, the reporter is saying that Wuhan people cheerfully buy chrysanthemums are congratulating the death of family members? You can only say that you are bereft of conscience if you can’t even say that the funeral is a happy event!”
“Shameless to the extreme Gong (Communist) Xuan. I can 100% predict that in this sick and twisted society to the extreme, the next disaster is brewing somewhere and will soon fall on a new group of victims.”
The CCP virus (Wuhan pneumonia) epidemic first broke out in Wuhan in late 2019. Eight doctors, including Li Wenliang, who had alerted people to the emergence of a Sars-like epidemic in Wuhan via social media platforms, were vilified by the Communist authorities as “rumor-mongers” and were suppressed and admonished. In order to promote the so-called “good situation”, the officials also organized a “banquet for ten thousand families”, which accelerated the spread of the epidemic. The epidemic eventually broke out and spread rapidly around the world.
Officially, more than 3,800 people died from the epidemic in Wuhan, but last June, scholars from the University of Washington School of Medicine and Ohio State University published a joint investigation report that synthesized and analyzed a large amount of information, including data released by the Chinese government, official and unofficial media reports, social media information, and the number of urns issued by the Wuhan crematorium, and concluded that the number of deaths from the epidemic in Wuhan was more than 10 times the number announced by the government. more than 10 times the number announced by the government.
Chinese netizens have used the number of incinerators to project that the 84 cremation ovens in Wuhan’s seven funeral parlors, assuming 65 ovens can work normally and each body cremated in one hour, can operate 24 hours a day, and can cremate 1,560 bodies per day. Deducting about 200 normal deaths per day. The number of deaths calculated based on 30 days is 46,800. It is also more than 10 times the figure announced by the government.
Last year, September 2 (the 15th day of the seventh month of the Chinese calendar) “Ghost Festival”, Wuhan streets are full of squatting on the roadside to burn paper to pay respect to the dead figures and piles of residual paper ashes, the public lamented that burning paper are not accounted for in place.
