Wuhan people held a party at the Water Park, which made foreign media and netizens boom

Thousands of partygoers poured into the water park for a large summer concert. People are jostling, standing in the water or sitting in a rubber boat, watching DJs and performances on the stage. No, it's not another party in Florida or Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's in Wuhan, China. The electronic music festival held by Wuhan Mayan beach water park was crowded with Party members, with little sign of social distance or wearing masks. This marks how far the city has gone since the epidemic was brought under control.

This situation makes the western media not calm down. On 17th, AFP, one of the four major Western news agencies, reported "Wuhan wave" as "the return to normal life of Wuhan people." The British guardian, CNN and other western mainstream media reprinted it one after another.

In this Chinese city, which was once stigmatized by trump and Pompeo as "Wuhan virus", people are enjoying the beautiful life in the "post epidemic era". Some foreign netizens are "sour" like eating lemons: "it must be fake. This is the previous photo." But many people were touched and began to reflect on their country's anti epidemic measures.

Someone said, "stop blaming Wuhan, we (the United States) need to be responsible for our failure. We elected a president, but he failed us. " Some well-known media people in the United States mocked themselves, "they have rock parties, we are still holding zoom video conference."

"Over the weekend, thousands of people participated in the water park party Carnival in Wuhan. The new crown epidemic first appeared in the city last year. When Wuhan gradually returns to normal life, people can't wait to go to the party," AFP said "After 76 days of lockdown in Wuhan, the water park reopened in June. Local media said the park would limit the number of visitors to 50% of its normal capacity and offer half price discounts to women."

"2020 is a fantastic year There are parties in Wuhan. Viruses? What virus? "

Today, Russian (RT) reporter Malik, after seeing the Afp report, commented that "this scene is like" a cruel joke "for countries that have tried their best to control the epidemic."

This is not what many Western netizens think of Wuhan.

At the end of last year, the new epidemic first appeared in Wuhan. Then trump and pompeio repeatedly used the words "Wuhan virus" and "China virus" to transfer domestic contradictions, which also made some foreigners' hatred of Wuhan and China spread. Even in May, Taro Aso, Japan's Vice Prime Minister and finance minister, still used the term "Wuhan virus". China's resolute closure of Wuhan has also been vilified by many Western media as a "cruel means of the government.".

How can a water party be held in a city ravaged by viruses and a so-called "blocked terrorist city"? Some people don't believe it anyway. "Is this video real? Is it the latest video (before or after the outbreak)? Music and movement don't seem to be in sync. Is the audio re added? It's strange to have a party like this. After all, there is no vaccine yet. " Immediately, a series of questions were raised by foreign netizens. There are different opinions in the comment area, some say it is the old video in 2019, some say it is in 2018.

The reporter confirmed by phone to the customer service staff of the water park that, as in previous years, they did have water music festival activities this year, which lasted until the end of August. "Although it looks like the scene of previous years," the guardian said, "thousands of people did go to the water park in Wuhan on weekends." Xinhua net was reported in August 15th. "Recently, Wuhan continued to have high temperature. Under the premise of preventing and controlling the new crown pneumonia, many people came to the water park in the city to play the water to relieve the heat."

There are still netizens who blame Wuhan for the new epidemic, spreading "malice and sour taste" in the comment area.

" making the whole world suffering, and having fun now..." There are comments from netizens.

There are a lot of people with this kind of "enigmatical words" -- thank you, China.Glad you are enjoying yourselves while we still suffer.

What's more, they fall into the "Wuhan conspiracy theory" -- either they are celebrating that they have found a cure, or this is a big scam. They frighten us so much that we dare not go out. However, there is no point in our isolation. I don't think the second guess is particularly outrageous. "

In this regard, some people made a penetrating comment that "Westerners would rather believe some groundless conspiracy theories than admit that China has done something right."

To see the Chinese people so happy, their country is still in "deep water". Some netizens began to ridicule the current situation of their own country.

A netizen who seems to be New York commented, "Wuhan has held a music festival, and New York hasn't even opened the gym." Another foreign netizen said in the comment area, "then you move to Wuhan."

"Don't blame Wuhan for the new coronavirus. America needs to be held responsible for its own failures. We elected a man, but he failed us. Even if the epidemic broke out in Wuhan, it should not have destroyed the United States as it is now. That's what trump did. What a simple reason. "

"They blocked it for 76 days, which is one of the strictest measures we've ever seen. They've been through a lot of pain, and now they're out there, so they're fully qualified to celebrate a hard won victory. It's not their fault. Don't screw them. " Some commentators said.

On February 24, Bruce elwald, senior adviser to the director general of the World Health Organization, commented on China's "war epidemic" in this way: "we should realize that the contribution made by the people of Wuhan is owed to you by the world. When the epidemic is over, I hope to have a chance to thank the people of Wuhan again on behalf of the world. I know that the Chinese people have made a lot of contributions in the process of this epidemic. " This sentence also made the translator choked several times.

CCTV news commented on April 16 that this period of Wuhan's "city closure" will be written into history in a very heavy way. This history was written not only by the more than 9 million Wuhan people who were "sealed" in the city, but also by 1.4 billion Chinese people.

Novel coronavirus pneumonia has been diagnosed in more than 21 million cases and Over 770 thousand deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. The United States has a total of 5.44 million confirmed cases and 170000 deaths. The severity of the epidemic is far higher than that of any other country.
