Many people reportedly died after struggling to access medical care during a brutal lockdown. The families want to make sure these deaths are counted.
a WeChat account called Shi You shared an article entitled “Shanghai Deceased,” which reported on people in the city who had seemingly died as a result of harsh lockdown restrictions. The article’s comment section was quickly flooded with messages from people saying they had also heard of or knew someone who had died during the lockdown.
Worried that censors would hide crucial evidence, Yu started taking screenshots of the WeChat article. A few hours later, WeChat scrubbed the article. When people in China tried to open the article again, all that was left was a message saying it “Yu reposted the content on a blog he created, called Real China, to help keep his parents in Shanghai informed about how news in China was being reported overseas. Within hours, Chinese censors blocked the reposted content.
By early June, the database contained 210 entries, each representing a life reportedly lost. It’s unclear how many of these deaths might be directly linked to Shanghai’s lockdown, but aconducted by Singapore-based news outlet Initium Media, claimed that at least 170 people had died as a result of lockdown measures by early May. Many of the deaths were linked to difficulties accessing urgent medical treatment, the report claimed.
The recruiter says he has no idea who created the document or who he was working with, but he feels safer this way. “I would be a bit afraid if we talk to each other in private,” he says, adding that he is still haunted by an experience of being reprimanded at school for speaking out on Twitter against an influential official., a volunteer-run mutual aid network created to help people access food, treatment, and medication during the lockdown, hints at the level of desperation.
