(Shenyang Beijing = Yonhap News) Correspondent Park Jong-guk Cho Jun-hyeong = In Shanghai, China, where the city has been locked down for more than a month, a welfare facility accidentally put a living elderly person in a transport bag.

The Beijing Daily reported on the 2nd that a welfare center in Shanghai recently confirmed that an elderly man who was mistaken as dead was still alive while trying to transport it to the funeral home by putting it in a transport bag. The old man was taken to a hospital and is being treated, the newspaper said.

On the 1st, a video of such a situation was released online, causing outrage, and the Shanghai authorities took action.

The director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Putuo District in Shanghai was charged with violating Party discipline, and some civil affairs officials working-level officials were dismissed from office, China Central Television (CCTV) reported.

In addition, the doctor in charge who was involved in erroneously determining that the elderly was dead has his doctor’s license revoked, and the welfare facility is subject to administrative sanctions.

At the same time, an article by a citizen commentator about growing distrust of neighbors and institutions in Shanghai, China, where city lockdown has been going on for more than a month, is making waves online.

New Pimingming (牛皮明明), a citizen of Shanghai, said in a post on Weibo on Chinese social media on the 1st, “In the early days of the lockdown, in Shanghai, if you were infected with Corona 19, you apologized, saying, ‘I caused a nuisance to your neighbors,’ and the residents said, ‘Get treatment. ‘ A warm atmosphere was created to encourage them,” he wrote.

He continued, “After a month, we resent each other and swear at each other over trivial things,” he said.

It is said that residents who only prepared a small amount of food believing only the words of the authorities that the lockdown was only for five days came to believe only in a fully-filled refrigerator instead of the news.

The trust of human society is divided into ‘personal trust’ in neighbors, etc. and ‘systematic trust’ in the government and group media, and he pointed out that both of these trusts are collapsing in Shanghai.

He said, “Even if there is only one infected person, the ‘zero corona’ policy that blocks the entire apartment complex caused me to fall into a psychological panic, and to view the neighbors as harmful,” he said. .

“Everyone is trapped in chains of doubt as if Pandora’s box has been opened,” he said. pinched.

His article received attention as it climbed to the top of Weibo’s search terms once a day.

Although there were criticisms that the reality was overshadowed, evaluations followed, saying, “It expresses the shameful self-portrait of Shanghai, which prides itself on being the economic capital.”

As New Pimingming pointed out, there are still cases in Shanghai that cause distrust.

On the 30th of last month, a residents’ committee in Baoshan District was caught trying to carry daily necessities donated from outside the country in a truck without distributing them to the residents.

Local authorities publicly apologized, saying that the vegetables that were not distributed on time due to a shortage of manpower were corrupt, and the three people involved were dismissed.

The ‘Private Legal Advisory Group’, formed by Chinese human rights lawyers, recently announced, “After the lockdown in Shanghai, we have identified many cases of violations of the rights and interests of residents and will help protect the rights and interests of victims,” ​​Hong Kong’s Myungbo reported.

The advisory group said, “Most human rights violations stem from the abuse of power by administrative agencies.”

Myungbo reported that the advisory group was formed in 2020, when the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak broke out, and supported the legal response of the Corona 19 victims and their families at the time.

The city of Shanghai announced on the 2nd that the COVID-19 situation is subsiding, saying that it has maintained a ‘social side zero corona’ with no infections outside the quarantine facility for the third day.

However, the lockdown imposed on the 28th of last month has not been lifted for over a month, and it is just an empty echo for the residents of Shanghai who are suffering from a shortage of daily necessities.
