On 23 March 2022, an old woman scavenging for scrap paper and plastic from street bins, who would face a very difficult situation in a week's time. The bankruptcy of China's epidemic prevention strategy.

343 Jiaozhou Rd., Shanghai

To understand the fiasco of China's epidemic prevention, please read these reports:

To know what has happened in Shangai since March, 2022, watch these videos: youtu.be/DGL29gU_I8o , youtu.be/HQxJBhR5ZzU, and read these stories: www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/business/shanghai-xinjiang-chi..., www.nytimes.com/2022/05/13/business/china-zero-covid-xi.html and www.voanews.com/a/foreign-businesses-consider-leaving-chi...

 

By that time, many areas of Shanghai had already turned to lockdown and the residents there were ordered to stay at home. In a week's time, all the residents in this city would see what they could never have imagined: in the name of epidemic prevention, the whole of Shanghai would be artificially turned into a dead city, with countless horrific farces, absurdities and tragedies unfolding every day: youtu.be/opvjfsRNtA8. Street labourers like the woman in this picture would face an extremely difficult situation.
