Yesterday was a sad day.

This sentence has been marked as perfect!

Two of my favorite people on Weibo had their accounts banned, and they were banned for telling the truth.

The first one is called 丁太昇, a music critic and record planner and he contributes a lot to the music industry in China, including the hottest music festival in China - Strawberry Music Festival.

It started a few months ago, at the height of the epidemic in India, the official Weibo account of the Chinese Political and Legal Committee posted a picture titled "China Ignition vs India Ignition", comparing a Chinese rocket launch with a picture of an Indian crematorium.

The picture was clearly inappropriate for a meme.

He criticized the picture, arguing that such behavior broke the bottom line of humanity.

His name is 喻国明, the most highly cited scholar in Chinese journalism and communication.

I'm trying to get into graduate school and I want to be a student of his.

I admire him for saying things on Weibo that most people wouldn't dare to say, like the Cultural Revolution.

The day before yesterday when Zhengzhou had a major flood, he posted a clip of a CCTV (China Central Television) host's news broadcast from the previous week praising China's strong flood control measures.

There is a background here.

Before the Zhengzhou flood, some celebrities were keen to compare the floods in Germany with the torrential rains in China, mocking the poor measures in Germany and praising the good ones in China.

For those celebrities, patriotism is a business - making patriotic comments generates a lot of traffic.

Many of them are not really patriotic at heart, such as satirize the American life and society, while buying big houses in the U.S. or sending their children to study abroad.

It's creepy.

This time it really comes back to bite them.

Zhengzhou has been hit by terrible flooding and killing at least 12 people.

This scholar post that video with this comment:“呵呵，话音未落啊......所以，自我评价还是更加审慎为好...(Aha, these words have not been spoken for long ... So, it's better to be more prudent in self-evaluation...)" His account was banned because of this post.

There were many trollers in the this comment section, we call them "蛆 (maggots)".

I think the platform blocked his account because of the "maggots" report.

I uninstalled the Weibo app yesterday and I'm really disappointed with Chinese society.
