Wuhan is crying

This year’s New Year’s Eve, when everyone is sitting around the television set to watch the Spring Festival dinner, brush the circle of friends to grab the red envelope, Wuhan chrysanthemums sold out, Jiefang Avenue is blocked to the water, the same New Year’s Eve why this year will be so different?

This is to start with the customs of Wuhan people. Every year on the first day of the New Year Wuhan people have the custom of burning incense for friends and relatives who died in the previous year, generally after the early morning hours began to go to the homes of deceased relatives and friends to burn incense, since to burn incense condolences must be sent chrysanthemums.

On New Year’s Eve, when people are still complaining about how boring the Spring Festival Gala is this year, the streets of Wuhan are crowded with people buying chrysanthemums. But what was surprising was that the chrysanthemums that were available everywhere in previous years were sold out at less than 11pm, and the price was even higher. Some of the individual stores have not sold out, the remaining chrysanthemums are wilted, on this bunch are 180 also not to return the price, it can be seen how many people died during this thought, and how many people sad. But this has turned into a happy event in some official media, which is really infuriating.

@sinahubei @HubeiEconomicTV and other official blogs also noted the early morning of New Year’s Eve, Wuhan, the city’s anomaly, but the content of Sina Hubei’s blog post is: “Wuhan Spring Festival flower market is hot and unusual, the public took to the streets in the early morning to buy flowers. “New Year’s Eve, if not to go on Qingxiang, who will go to buy flowers in the middle of the night, and to buy chrysanthemums! Really despise these unscrupulous media, what kind of sadness can be written out of the atmosphere of happy events.

If @sinaHubei such a commercial official blog does not understand the customs of Wuhan is justifiable, then @Hubei Economic TV such a local official blog also inverted black and white nonsense is unforgivable. Yesterday at 2:37 p.m., the official blog of @Hubei Economic TV had this to say about the unusual explosion of the Wuhan flower market during the Spring Festival.

February 12 morning, in Wuhan City, Jianghan District Stadium Street flower market reporter saw, because of the purchase of flowers too many people, the road in front of the flower market has formed a traffic jam. The florist told the reporter that he had not slept for 50 hours and had lost track of how many flowers he had sold. Another owner also said that he had opened a flower store for 30 years, and although business was better in previous years, it was never as hot as this year, as long as it was flowers, no matter what variety was placed on it would be bought in a short Time. The reporter then saw in the Zhuanlimen flower market, the public to buy flowers is also incessant. Florist operator analysis, the reason for the fire is two, one is this year is the lunar year of the ox, the public to buy flowers means to bull; two is due to last year’s Spring Festival many families did not buy flowers arrangement, retaliatory consumption led to this year’s Spring Festival in Wuhan flower consumption hot anomaly.

When I saw the last, I really have a brick to shoot @ Hubei Economic TV editor’s impulse. On the custom of Qingxiang not only Wuhan, many places in the south also have, such as Zhejiang, Hunan and other places, but you see which place like Wuhan, not to the first day of the year chrysanthemum sold out of stock? Any city like Wuhan this year, two or three in the morning flower market is still bustling with people to buy flowers?

All of us know and have experienced the catastrophe that took away countless lives in 2020, and our Life trajectory or basic life has been more or less changed by the Epidemic. Why do you have to make condolences for a funeral a vengeful consumption? You think you’re hiding the truth and people won’t find it and dig it out for themselves?

Last year Fang Fang said in his diary: “In Wuhan, almost everyone is psychologically traumatized, and I’m afraid this is one of the things that cannot be bypassed. Whether it’s the people (including children) who are still healthy after being locked up at Home for more than 20 days, or the patients who used to run around in the cold rain, or the families who saw their loved ones being dragged away in body bags, or the medical staff who watched each patient die and were unable to save them, etc., etc. This kind of trauma can be haunting for quite some time. People need to vent, to cry, to complain, to be appeased. The pain of the people of Wuhan cannot be relieved by shouting slogans. “This passage writes about the deep-seated trauma of Wuhan people, which is usually invisible, but will flow out in every moment when society is not too concerned.

For example, last year’s Mid-Year Festival, the roadside or cemetery, there were people burning paper money everywhere, some with their families, some alone, they did not say anything, but the atmosphere of mourning is suffocating, it is impossible to turn a blind eye. For example, this year’s New Year’s Eve, people coincidentally flocked to the streets into the flower store to send a thought for their deceased friends and relatives. But even the most basic human feelings, not only to drown in the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, but also by the shameless media to distort into another look, is simply a loss of conscience!

Last year, when the city was closed, some people in Wuhan said: If something happens to your Family, I’m afraid you’ll never be able to spend the New Year in your life. And the bloody truth is, as the eye of the epidemic, Wuhan died countless people, some families went to one or two, but some like Chang Kai family broken, thousands of families afraid never to spend the New Year, and every “reunion” of the circle of friends “may sting them, because their home can no longer reunite ……

Wuhan is crying today, please allow Wuhan people to be sad when you are having a good time, not to make them smile, not to mention don’t distort their sadness into a sea of joy, because everyone’s holiday mood is different. As written in the lyrics: until today I know how strong it takes to say goodbye, I want to hold back the tears but can not hold back the sadness, unknowingly tears have become lines ……
