Caixin Reporter Xiao Fei: Under the light rain in the afternoon of Lunar New Year’s Eve, I randomly took a photo at the epicentre of the viral outbreak at China South Seafood Market, and was immediately surrounded by 4 securities who demanded to delete my photo. A young security pointed his finger at me and yelled loudly, “Delete the photo now. No photo.” I let his hand down and said, “Who said no photo? The public has a right to know.” Another security came over and extended his hand to grab my phone, trying to delete the photos. He said, “The superior asked for it. Yesterday a Japanese reporter came to take photographs and was sent to the police station.” It was just a non-essential photograph, but I just didn’t want to give in, and said louder, “Today is Lunar New Year’s Eve. Whoever touches me, I will fight back.” That security tried to pull me over to the police station, but was blocked by a citizen nearby.
Actually I wanted to meet these people at the police station and hear what they have to say. Would the virus disappear after the photo is deleted?
Would the virus spread to the commoners only, but not to those who desperately defend their masters from behind the scene?
In the epidemic areas, I have been told countless times that the superiors said no to interview. I am really pissed by these “superiors” whom cannot be seen. Would these “superiors” be able to kill the virus? What is the basis of your confidence that the virus won’t spread to you? For those who desperately defend the dirty secrets that cannot see the light of day, you owe an apology to all those unknowingly contracted the virus. More seriously, you owe them your life.
