“Positive energy” became a catchphrase in China in 2012 and has since appeared frequently in China’s state propaganda. Dissidents in China are often criticized for spreading “negative energy” and failing to look at the “positive side” of society.
During the CCP virus pandemic, “positive energy” propaganda has been taken to an extreme. For instance, when Fang Fang, a female writer, and resident of Wuhan, published her diary online during the city-wide lockdown, many internet trolls attacked her for recording the tragedies of Wuhan citizens. They even challenged her, saying, “Did you see those deaths with your own eyes? How dare you to write hearsay as true stories?”
Ms. Zhang Zhan, a dissident and former attorney, living in Shanghai, has been trying to investigate and report on the real situation in Wuhan as a citizen journalist. The following is a conversation between Zhang and a Wuhan resident who ridiculed the CCP’s positive energy propaganda.
Man: Let me tell you, according to the current policy in our country, we should not try to distinguish real from false. There is only a distinction between positive and negative energy. Right? You should know this. You cannot mention deaths. If you do, it will be negative energy. So it’s a forbidden topic. You cannot tell the truth, because it’s considered negative energy. False information is positive energy.
Man: That’s all regarded as negative energy. So stop talking such nonsense. I can only say that not a single person died in Wuhan. The CCP virus never happened because I did not witness any cases. Just like Fang Fang, all my information about the outbreak is what I have heard, not what I have seen, so it does not count.
So I don’t believe in even one death, because the authorities tell us, only what we see with our own eyes is valid.
Zhang: In my case, I visited the crematorium to check the cremators. I went there twice the other day, at noon and midnight.
Man: Oh! you did?
Zhang: Yes.
Man: Which crematorium is it?
Zhang: Wuchang, Wuchang Funeral Home.
