The Qingming Festival is a time of rain, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. This year, it is the first Qingming Festival where one can travel freely after the CCP virus (Wuhan pneumonia) epidemic. Since last week, hundreds of thousands of family members and friends of those who died have flocked to the mausoleums in Wuhan, where the outbreak began. During the days of the Qingming mini-holiday, numerous tomb-sweeping vehicles blocked the road to the mausoleum, while rights-bearing families were silenced.

A search revealed that the figure of 320,000 people written in this news article originally came from a March 22 report in the Chutian Metropolis Daily’s Jueimu News. The report said that on March 20 and 21, Wuhan saw the first wave of tomb-sweeping for the Qingming Festival. The newspaper reporter learned from the major mausoleums in Wuhan City, Wuhan two days over the weekend, there are 320,000 people into the park sweeping.
To solve the problem of difficult parking for sweepers, Hanyang Bantam Hill Cemetery has set up a free parking lot. Wuhan major cemetery staff also said that, according to the experience of previous years, it is expected that March 27-28, April 3-5 will be the peak sweeping.
The article was also removed from several websites, including NetEase. The Communist Party’s official media reported almost exclusively on the tomb sweeping for the “martyrs”.
The number of worshipers in Wuhan on the weekends of March 27-28 and April 3-4 has not yet been reported in the media. However, information released by those in the know shows that the roads leading to the mausoleum were more congested during these two weekends.
Netizen “Haiyummy” April 5 microblogging said: “the first time I saw the road traffic jam jammed like this, is the Qingming Festival, six o’clock out of the door began to jam, the return trip as jammed to everyone get off the walk, I heard that some people go out even earlier as jammed, until I saw the high speed written to the direction of the mausoleum will know The same as this year’s New Year’s Eve Wuhan can not buy chrysanthemums.”
The netizen also said, “The first Qingming Festival after the epidemic, the specific data can not be tangled, but I remember the photo of the eight-year-old boy in the queue followed by adults in line to receive the ashes of his parents. It is possible that those who have not experienced this event will pass it by lightly, and some even think that it is not an epidemic, people all over the world have experienced it, so why? But really for Wuhan people is a scar.”

Not only local people, but also relatives from abroad wanted to visit Wuhan but struggled to buy tickets. A netizen with coordinates in Guangzhou posted a microblog on March 31. The content refers to: the supervisor did not come to work for a few days, and thought she went on a business trip. The result was that she was from Wuhan and wanted to go back to Wuhan for the Qingming Festival, but couldn’t buy a ticket, so she flew back a week in advance.

Zhang Hai was illegally forced to leave Wuhan
Although it was the first Qingming Festival where people were free to travel, some of the family members who insisted on defending their rights and pursuing the authorities for the truth about the epidemic were still blocked from speaking out and even kicked out of Wuhan.
Zhang Hai, a native of Wuhan who lives in Shenzhen, drove his father to Wuhan City Hospital for treatment at the beginning of the outbreak last year because officials were hiding the truth and people did not know the truth. For more than a year, Zhang Hai insisted on defending his rights, complaining, suing and prosecuting Wuhan authorities in various ways, and demanding that the truth about the epidemic be released to the world, but was illegally suppressed by the Chinese Communist Party.
The source told reporters that on the eve of the Qingming Festival, about a week ago, Zhang Hai, who was in Wuhan, was followed by local police with cars and people, forcing him to leave Wuhan. Zhang Hai rested overnight in Changsha on his way back, but police came to his home that night to check his room, and his friends, who were in contact with him by cell phone, were also interviewed.

The informant told reporters, “The Qingming Festival is coming up, and with the first anniversary of the epidemic, Wuhan authorities are just afraid that he will stay in Wuhan and try to drive him away.”
“Zhang Hai met with other family members in Wuhan, and the government sent people to call each other to discredit Zhang Hai and claim that they are not from the government.” “Private phone numbers can only be accurately checked out by government departments, but also pretend to be the so-called enthusiastic people, they just do not have a bottom line.”
Zhang Hai said in his circle of friends message, “Hubei, Wuhan two levels of local government, is not trying to isolate me? All directions stuck to me? Continue to listen to phone calls, monitoring WeChat, clearly tell you, alone in the anti-black road I can not give up, life has what joy, death has what fear …… you committed the crime, is destined to escape ……”
Rights mothers: the suppressed wailing truth is not being done
Another victim’s family member, Yang Min’s daughter, also passed away due to an epidemic. Yang Min was threatened, grounded and silenced when she went to the Wuhan Municipal Government to raise a sign to complain.
At 00:00 on April 5, she posted on Weibo, “Another year of Qingming Festival, the crowded road can’t finish the injustice, the soul-chasing incense can’t cover all the newly raised graves, the suppressed wailing, the truth can’t be brought to light, is this the Yang world or the Underworld? Those executioners who killed their own countrymen, you not only kill your compatriots, destroy families that have not been clear until now, shouting the slogan of Wuhan, put the lives of the people of Wuhan in disregard, watching the people struggle and do nothing! You are the real traitors, traitors, in the guise of serving the people! Those who sing beautiful hymns and do things that hurt the people are the public enemies of the Chinese people. History has a memory, the people have a memory, and the souls of the wronged dead will not be spared!”
Reporters tried to contact several families of the victims through several channels, but were unsuccessful. Informants said that the families of the victims’ groups have been suppressed by the authorities, and social media groups have been monitored by police, bullying, intimidating and interviewing them to prohibit them from speaking out.
