A netizen used a clip from the 1982 Shanghai Film Studio production “Open Fire, Send Him Off” (starting at 42:42) to satirize the current pandemic situation. The film depicts life in Japanese-occupied Shanghai, and one scene closely mirrors the realities of Shanghai’s COVID lockdown. The Japanese troops forbid civilians from leaving the sealed area, even if they need medical care or essential goods, while exploiting the situation to resell supplies at inflated prices.
