On Tuesday morning three prodemocratic banners of an elevated step in the Chinese city of Chengdu were hung, in a daring echo of the famous “bridge” protest in 2022.
China’s fixed censorship apparatus arose in the immediacy of the action, eliminating the publications of social networks that described the banners or included photos of them, but some of the photos were published in a popular dissident x account that calls “Mr. Li is not their state of tea
“Mr. Li is not his teacher” he is an exiled artist and citizen journalist named Li Ying who Rose a prominence Duration The “White Book” protests of 2022, which also led to the amazing act of Bridge Man’s challenge. Although X is prohibited in China, his account still has almost two million followers, many of them Chinese subjects who find forms around the firewalls of his government to read their publications.
According to Li, the three banners said:
Without a reform of the political system, there will be no national rejuvenation.
People do not need a political party with unbridled power.
China does not need anyone to point out the address – Democracy is direction.
The banners were covered with a high bridge step near a bus station in the Jinniu Chengdu district. The photos were sent to Li Ying by the man who hung the banners. Shortly after sending the photos, that man disappeared. Chinese officials have refused to answer questions about the case of foreign reporters.
“The last thing he wanted to convey to the public through us was that democracy could be done as soon as possible,” Mr. Li is not his teacher’s account. saying.
If the Chengdu dissident has been “disappeared” by the Chinese authorities, its history will closely reflect the PENG LIFAThe man who hung protest banners from a bridge in Beijing at the height of white paper protests against the brutal coronavirus blockages of the dictator Xi Jinping.
THE MOVEMENT OF THE WHITE PAPER exploited After Xis’s block policies killed civilians who were trapped in a flame building in Urumqi, the capital city of the oppressed Uigures Muslims. The incident galvanized the public discontent that stir the lungs and citizens to speak, like the ruthless government warned that criticism would be punished.
Pidering a literal page of the brave protesters of the Democracy of Hong Kong of 2019, the Anti-Lockdown Begen protesters undulation Blank paper sheets and white banners last their protests, challenging the police to judge them not to say anything at all. The police took many of them in that challenge.
Peng Lifa took another step, throwing banners of a high traffic bridge in Beijing that was not blank. The most provocative of his banners said: “We want food, I do not test PCR. We want freedom, not locked up. We want respect, do not lies. We want reform, not a cultural revolution. We want a vote, not a leader. We want to be citizens, not slaves.”
The man on the bridge demonstrated his courage to march through the bridge and shouting his revolutionary slogans through a speaker. He was quickly arrested and his family was put under guard. The Chinese Communist Party then He did it disappear For more than two years, in Flagrant violation Or international human rights laws. Other dissidents that tube inspiration From the bridge, the man to hang his own banners were also arrested.
White Paper protesters, an extensive won as much victory as they could against their authoritarian government, which abandonment His manic coronavirus blocks vaguely promised that such policies would never be implemented again, without Quaite admitting that the blockages were a horrible error.
As demonstrated by the fate of the new man bridge, China has not grown freer in any other aspect. It is possible that the Chinese people do not need “a political party with unbridled power”, but that is what they have.
