A white paper revolution broke out in China, and a large number of people gathered in Urumqi Middle Road in Shanghai, shouting “the Communist Party has stepped down.” For this, Hao Mingyi, a senior editor and former national policy adviser, summed up four reasons, one of which was the “Football World Cup”.
Hao Mingyi said on Facebook on the evening of the 27th that recent reports of conflicts and blockades in various parts of China have continued. Not only did the people of Shanghai protest on Urumqi Road, “The Communist Party has stepped down! Xi Jinping has stepped down!” in some communities in Wuhan and Beijing even directly “exit”, consider the seal as nothing.
Hao Mingyi pointed out that he asked some friends what was going on, and finally summed up four reasons: one is that too many people can no longer bear the three-year ban; the risk of infection; the third is that so many people were killed in the fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang, that it aroused everyone’s empathy.
And the fourth reason that Hao Mingyi feels great is that “the soccer world cup played an important role.” Hao Mingyi related what this friend said. Previously, China publicized how bad the epidemic was and how many people were dying overseas. This world cup football broadcast, everyone was amazed. How could tens of thousands of people be together without wearing masks? .
The friend further said, “Some people explained that those players and spectators also had to undergo nucleic acid tests before entering the stadium and that Qatar has implemented various access codes and they could only enter the stadium without any problems, but then nobody believed it. CCTV News also mosaics the auditorium to prevent everyone from seeing the spectators without a mask, but then… everyone knows it”.
The friend continued, “It’s the World Cup that really helped everyone understand the parallel time and space of the virus, and it’s the World Cup that broke the dictum that it needs to be cancelled.” Hao Mingyi couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s really a magical World Cup!”
