I believe that the occurrence of this epidemic is by no means accidental. When a society lacks justice, when a place is filled with sorrow, when a group turns a blind eye to evil and remains silent, everyone will pay the price and be cursed and whipped!
Famous writer Fang Fang has lived in Wuhan for a long time and understands Wuhan better than us. Regarding the devastating epidemic of Wuhan pneumonia, Fang Fang's delicate feelings and keen observations, I believe that anyone who has read Fang Fang's diary can empathize. In these days, many people have also read the words of a Wuhan girl who exposed her family's separation and death in a way similar to live streaming. Through these heart-wrenching words, I see the fragility of life, the helplessness and powerlessness of individuals. These unadorned texts of suffering are accusations against falsehood and questioning of the prosperous times.
In Fang Fang's diary after the Yuanxiao Festival, she wrote: "In these days, it seems that the dead are getting closer to me. My neighbor's cousin died. An acquaintance's younger brother died. The parents and wife of a friend all died, and then he died too. People cry but can't cry enough. For the early infected, this disaster is not just death, but more despair: it is the despair of calling for help in vain, seeking medical treatment in vain, and searching for medicine in vain. There are too many patients, too few beds, and hospitals are caught off guard. What else can we do besides waiting for death?"
Fang Fang sighed, many patients always thought that life was peaceful and that they could seek medical treatment if they were sick, without any psychological preparation for death, let alone the experience of being unable to seek medical treatment. The pain and despair they experienced before death are deeper than the abyss. Fang Fang believes that many of the deceased were infected with the virus, had no chance to be admitted to the hospital, did not receive effective treatment, and some didn't even have a confirmed diagnosis before they hurriedly passed away. How many people does this probably include? She said she didn't know, and how many people really know? I'm afraid no one knows.
It is rare that Fang Fang's diary has not been deleted because we have seen too many articles being deleted and public accounts being blocked. Perhaps it is because of the tearful appeal that Fang Fang made to the internet administrators in her diary: "Dear internet administrators: There are some things that you still need to let the people of Wuhan say. Saying them out loud will make us feel a little better. We have been trapped here for more than ten days and have witnessed so many tragic events. If we are not even allowed to vent our pain, to complain a little or reflect a bit, do you really want everyone to go crazy?"
Through these heart-wrenching words, I also see those cold death tolls, and even more people crying. Just like what was described in "The Plague Chronicle": "When we walk through the streets, we can hear such loud and pitiful cries that they seem to pierce our hearts. And our hearts, especially at such times, are bound to think, especially at such times, that this terrible suffering will fall on our own heads at any moment."
I believe that the occurrence of this epidemic is by no means accidental. When a society lacks justice, when a place is filled with sorrow, when a group turns a blind eye to evil and remains silent, everyone will pay the price and be cursed and whipped! Just like Moses not allowing the enslaved generation to leave the wilderness, allowing the new generation that has experienced the desert to cross the Jordan River and establish a new land in the "land flowing with milk and honey."
A childhood friend once proudly told me how he handcuffed a person naked in the open air on a snowy day. I know that this is his profession, but he could have chosen to raise the gun a little higher. At that time, I just said indifferently, "Don't do things that harm heaven and reason!" Looking around the world, many people around us have no awe, no bottom line. Not to mention conscience, even humanity has been lost. Many people constantly applaud and defend evil. I believe that Heaven will never approve.
Some people say that Li Wenliang is the best ophthalmologist in the world, curing the eyes of hundreds of millions of Chinese people in a short period of time. I don't think so. On this land, the majority still choose to turn a blind eye. Honestly, have we silenced people like him? Have we made people like him give up? Have we given people like him more positive energy? Have we told people like him not to speak the truth! If so, please take a look around and see if almost everyone is doing the same!
At the beginning of the epidemic, far more than those initial eight people knew, but most people chose to remain silent. The more people remain silent, the harder it is to break the silence—because the more people are drawn into the vortex of silence, the more strength is needed to break free from this vortex. What is even more frightening is that we support each other, comfort each other, make jokes, sarcastically comment, close our eyes, shrink in fear, together, together, together, heading towards the furnace that has long been prepared.
Wang Xiaobo said: "In an irrational era, it is the era when Galileo bowed his head and admitted that the earth does not revolve, and it is also the era when Lavoisier went to the guillotine; it is the era when Zweig committed suicide by taking poison, and it is also the era when Lao She jumped into the Taihu Lake." It is also the era when telling the truth can lead to arrest, admonishment, silence, and account suspension. What is even more frightening is that when many people saw the reports of Li Wenliang being punished for telling the truth, they did not feel heartbroken and angry, but rather enthusiastically applauded...
Watching the news on TV, in addition to cheerful songs and jokes, they also claim to set a new benchmark for global epidemic prevention! They always think they can save all of humanity and dominate the world, just like the ancient people ambitiously building the Tower of Babel, considering themselves as saviors. What a ridiculous dream! A girl wrote on Weibo: "Apart from getting sick and dying, I don't understand how much impact a disease can have. It wasn't until a friend told me that if the epidemic continues until May, the company will declare bankruptcy. At that moment, I realized that everyone is in this disaster, whether infected or not."
After this epidemic, many people may understand that GDP has nothing to do with them, wealth has nothing to do with them... even the rise has nothing to do with them. When a disaster strikes, all you need is a hospital bed, a comforting hand, or even a compassionate look. If you can survive the disaster, whether you want it or not, whether you like it or not, I hope that from now on, you can change your worldview, your outlook on life, and your values. Have awe and bottom lines, don't applaud evil, and I believe that only in this way will Heaven approve.
As a retired famous doctor from Changhai Hospital said: 1.4 billion people are being held hostage by the epidemic and cannot move at home. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. Why do I say this? Because we can finally stop and reflect as a nation: What kind of country does China really want to build? What kind of life do Chinese people really want to live? We are desperately developing, running forward, but has our soul kept up with our footsteps? After the SARS epidemic, if we don't have a nationwide reflection and find solutions to this epidemic, the next disaster is waiting for us not far away.
