On May 27, the WeChat Video Channel @JiongQian posted a video. A Shanghai resident shared his experience of finally stepping outside after 70 days of lockdown and expressed his views on the chaotic pandemic control measures in Shanghai. The elderly man said:
“To everyone who truly empathizes, let us record all of this and tell the next generation: never let this scene happen again.
What made us suffer was not Delta, not Omicron — it was people! People!
Never forget, it is these people who can make people lose their humanity!
Tell the next generation: we must have compassion for people, we must love our people!”
