Second scene:
Location: Shanghai, China
Woman in the background: Take a look everyone. All of us are workers in Shanghai factories that were told to go back to work, but the order is a sham. We wasted face masks and spent all our money, and now we cannot return home. I warn all those who work in Shanghai factories: do not come to Shanghai.

Third scene:
Location: Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China
Workers returning to work at Huizhou’s Bo’en Company found that the company does not plan to resume normal operations. Many employees wait on the street with their suitcases, because they can only get a dorm assignment when they start working in the factory. They feel that they have been deceived by authorities at different levels as well as by their employers.

We are property owners from the Taoyi neighborhood of Zhushan District, Jingdezhen City. In January this year, when the coronavirus outbreak was very serious, a demolition office under XXX company forcibly tore down our houses. At this site, where our apartments used to be, they now plan to build a five-star hotel. While the coronavirus outbreak is so serious all over the country, the demolition team forced us to move. We are now homeless. We are seeking justice from the municipal government, from XXX company, and from society. Here we are presenting our property-ownership document. Now that we have lost our homes, we have to sleep on the street.

Woman in the background: All of us are workers of Shanghai factories. We were told to go back to work, but the order is just a sham. We wasted face masks and spent all our money, so now we cannot even return home. I’d like to warn all those who work in Shanghai factories: do not come to Shanghai.

Fang Bin was arrested soon after he released this video but got released maybe within a day. He said he felt the police’s attitude toward him suddenly change at some stage. He guessed it was because his video had been widely circulated.

He fears that something will happen again, so he quickly released this video.
“I have been saying that my safety relies on everyone. It’s useless to be fearful. It’s useless to beg them. The more you fear, the more they do things this way. The only way out is that everyone stands up. That’s why I say we should have a ‘Help Ourselves’ movement. Maybe we should add: ‘Everyone Helps Everyone’ movement.

Fang Bin was arrested on February 10th, 2020. There is no official statement detailing Fang Bin’s situation since then.

Banner on truck: Relief and Rescue Supplies
Location: China

Man taking video: They even dare to use the relief and rescue supplies in such a way! They transported the supplies to our market directly for sale, and they asked us vendors to help them sell these items. I definitely will not engage in the sales of relief and rescue supplies. See, they unloaded the items onto the ground.

Location: An international airport in South Korea
Date: Feb. 24

Woman A: I have told you everything that I need to say.

Woman B: Why are you going back to China when the coronavirus outbreak is so serious in your country?

Man: I have to. My mother is not in good health. I have to go home.
Woman B: Where is your hometown?
Man: My home is in Jilin Province.
Woman A: It will soon become a heavily hit region.
Woman B: Aren’t you afraid? The coronavirus outbreak is now very serious inside China.
Man: I am not afraid.
Woman B: Really? So nothing to worry about? How do you know that there is nothing to worry about?
Man: Ah?
Woman B: How do you know there is nothing to worry about?
Man: There is no outbreak in my hometown. My hometown is Meihekou.
Woman B: There are no cases in your hometown. So where did you learn that there are no such cases?
Man: Ah?
Woman B: Where did you learn that there are no such cases (in your hometown)?
Woman A and B together: I mean, no coronavirus outbreak.
Man: It is in the news every day.
Woman B: So you listen to (Chinese state broadcaster) CCTV’s news program?
Man: Right.
Woman A and B together: You are finished. Another one who has been hoodwinked.
Woman B: Then go back home. You will regret it later. I am telling you right now that you will regret it when you go back. Even South Korea is hit hard by the virus. Every statement on the CCTV news program is fake.
Woman A: Think about it. There is no effective medicine for this disease. Originally, there were no infections in South Korea either. It is obvious that they (Chinese authorities) are telling lies.
Woman B: If you don’t trust me, go find out when you get home. My hometown is also Meihekou.
Man: Thank you!
Woman B: Bye-bye.

Severe rain leaking at Huoshenshan (Fire God Mountain) Hospital

Location: Wuhan City, Hubei Province

Woman: I saw it with my own eyes. I was at hospital bed no. 18, he was in bed no. 17. He was sent to the hospital on Jan. 28 in the morning. That same afternoon, a medical team from Tianjin city arrived at the hospital. He could only exhale, but could not inhale. I think he was experiencing the same symptoms as I did. Because I am younger, and he is in his seventies, he could not hold on.

I can tell you, when one is infected with this virus, the key is whether he or she can make it through the most difficult time. Those who can will survive. Those who cannot will pass away.

Driver: So he was not dead yet?

Woman: Yes, he could still breathe. When they came to bind his body, his hands and feet were still moving. They bound his feet together, bound his hands together. Then, they had a plastic black bag. They put him in the bag and zipped it. They wrapped him in another bag, and then a third bag, layer by layer. The outermost layer is like the material tents are made out of. Altogether, there were four layers of bags. Then, they tied the bags with a rope.

Driver: So they did not attempt to rescue him?

Woman: The only equipment you can use to rescue a patient is oxygen supply. No other equipment.

Driver: That means, a person still alive was directly sent to..

Woman: No other equipment to rescue. It is a hospital designated for contagious diseases. The hospital forms specified that it is a hospital for contagious diseases.

Driver: People who are still alive are sent to the crematorium?!

Woman: They are afraid that the virus will spread, to tell you the truth.

Driver: My gosh!

Woman: I saw several patients who were handled like this. In the ward next to mine, an old man obviously still had breath left, but they sent him to the crematorium.

Driver: Wow! My gosh! Several people were handled this way. That is equal to…

Woman: Yes, we all saw these with our own eyes, when we were hospitalized, with my own eyes. I was grief-stricken. I really feel… I really wanted to cry. So miserable, so tragic!

Driver: My gosh, this is too cruel. The important thing is, he is still alive. They should try to save him!

Woman: How can they save him? What can they use to save him? There is no (effective) medicine, no nothing. There is only oxygen supply. What can they use to save patients? Really… You didn’t get a chance to see it. Those who were carried away in bags, they were handled like dead dogs. As soon as one person dies, he would be placed into the yellow checkered bags and then carried away.
