Although Li Wenliang passed away on February 7 this year due to the new crown pneumonia, the word “Li Wenliang” is still on Weibo today, and many people came to Li Wenliang’s personal microblog to wish him a happy new year.
A year ago, at 5:00 pm on the 30th, Li Wenliang reminded his classmates in a WeChat group that “seven cases of SARS were confirmed in the South China Seafood Market” and asked his classmates, who also work as doctors, to be sure to take precautions. But four days later, Li Wenliang was summoned and admonished by the district police station for “posting false statements on the Internet”.
Today, one year later, there are more than 81.9 million new cases of pneumonia and nearly 1.8 million deaths worldwide. Even though he has been dead for more than 10 months, Li Wenliang’s microblog still gets a lot of people leaving comments, telling him what’s on their mind, and saying hello to him every day, and it’s even been called like China’s online “crying wall”.
As of this afternoon, the word “Li Wenliang” was on the Weibo hot search list, and more than 630,000 people searched for “Li Wenliang” on Weibo, and many netizens also greeted Li Wenliang on his Weibo account, thanking him and wishing him a happy new year.
In an interview with Caixin.com before his death, Li Wenliang said, “I think a healthy society should not have only one voice.” But Zhang Zhan, a citizen journalist who traveled to Wuhan earlier this year to cover the local epidemic, was sentenced to four years in prison in Shanghai on the morning of the 28th for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”.
