"Chengdu people are suffering"? Fake news!

    “城市中2100万人正在忍受饥饿,夜晚他们在窗边绝望地尖叫。”

    "21 millions residents lockdown to the point of starvation. Some screaming out the window at night in despair."

    “别忘了,有人准备以高价卖出这些物资。”

    "You forgot that some are looking to resell the produce at a huge premium."

    ”人们在疯狂地争抢食物,似乎在为末日做准备。”

    "They are frantically fighting for food as if they are surviving the apocalypse."

    ???

    以上均为推特上的一些不实言论

    9月1日18时

    成都全体居民原则居家

    热闹的成都安静了下来

    From 18:00, September 1, all residents in Chengdu were required to stay at home due to the outbreak of covid-19 epidemic.

    对吃有着高追求的成都人生性要强

    每到饭点,他们的朋友圈活生生地成为了

    成都东西南北

    厨王争霸的“内卷”现场

    As optimistic food lovers, the Chengdu people, therefore, started "competitions" of cooking skills on social media, sharing their colorful stay-at-home life.

    可是,外网还是出现了一些奇怪的声音

    有一些人们在社交媒体上

    善意分享的生活照片和视频

    被恶意拼接剪辑

    在海外社交平台引发误解

    However, malicious rumors started to spread on the internet oversea.People's life photos and videos were re-edited intentionally and incurred misunderstanding.

    其中,一条此前中国其他城市疫情期间

    某小区夜晚互相鼓励的视频

    被重新包装上传推特

    该视频被虚假地描述为

    “8月28日凌晨4点,

    成都2100万人忍受着饥饿,

    开始绝望地朝窗户外尖叫。”

    A video which was taken in another Chinese city during the epidemic recording the moment at night when the residents staying at home encouraged each other was re-edited and posted on Twitter, being labeled, "21 millions residents lockdown to the point of starvation. Some screaming out the window at night in despair."

    截至目前

    这条虚假视频的播放量

    已接近20w

    Up to now, this fake video has been viewed nearly 200,000 times.

    震惊之余,我们决定做点什么

    Shocked, we felt we needed to do something.

    这组海报

    拍摄自2022年9月2—4日的中国四川成都街头

    在“阴间滤镜”的镜头语言下

    在不明真相的海外网友眼里

    他们或许是被栅栏、铁皮困住的

    麻木的居民、无助的工人、迷茫的儿童

    但只需移动镜头,转换视角就会发现

    他们是正在为居民保供的菜场商贩

    是正在认真冲洗街道的环卫工人

    是独自出门排队做核酸检测的孩子

    These pictures were taken from Sept 2 to Sept 4, 2022, in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.With a spooky filter, they can be interpreted as numb citizens, helpless workers, and confused kids.

    However, if you take a full view, here comes the truth: they are the vegetable vendors ensuring the food supply, the janitors cleaning the street, and the kid taking the nucleic acid test by himself.

    "They're in Hope, not Trap."

    他们,都是烟火成都的守护人

    They are the protectors of a lively Chengdu.

    在一张张照片背后

    我们想传递的是

    窥探事情的全貌取决于角度

    偏见比无知更远离真相

    Through these pictures, we are attempting to say,your perspective determines your knowledge,and prejudice is even further away from the truth than ignorance.

    没有哪个人或哪个国家是一座孤岛

    病毒,才是全人类的共同敌人!

    No one or country is an island.

    The virus is our common enemy!
