Since the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures in China, the epidemic situation has worsened. Not only has the number of confirmed cases soared, but rural areas lacking medical care have also been regarded as the next wave of epidemic-stricken areas. When some netizens returned to their hometown for the festival today (20th), they found that funerals were being held along the entire road, and there was a gap between the strange atmosphere and the celebration of the New Year.
Netizens in Sichuan said that when they returned home, every household along the road was holding funerals, which was very different from the festive atmosphere of the upcoming Chinese New Year. As the New Year’s Eve is approaching, experts are also worried that a large number of returning home will lead to another wave of epidemics.
In this regard, some netizens were dissatisfied and said, “In the future, we will not even be allowed to hold funerals. The reason is to spread the dark side of society.” Funerals are held happily, very Chinese”, etc., dissatisfied with the government’s disregard for basic human rights.

China’s positive energy propaganda for the Spring Festival propaganda indirectly suppresses the people who died due to the epidemic, which made some netizens quite dissatisfied, saying, “You might as well not even hold funerals in the future, because it will spread the dark side of society.” Picture: Taken from @wxl728 Twitter
