One year after entering lockdown, Wuhan’s youth are filling the city’s nightclubs, its pandemic-spawning markets have reopened and a film is released praising the city’s response.
Meanwhile, much of the rest of the world continues its battle with the deadly disease first detected in the Chinese city, which has caused the deaths of more than two million people globally and wreaked economic havoc.
Pictures from Wuhan in Central China’s Hubei province on January 21 and 22, 2021 – before the one year anniversary of Wuhan’s first lockdown on Saturday – show a bustling city as people go about their daily lives.
At night, Wuhan’s young residents can be seen out clubbing with very few wearing masks or practising social distancing, something that seems impossible to imagine in many other countries.
Meanwhile, China is rolling out a state-backed film praising Wuhan ahead of the anniversary of the 76-day lockdown in the central city.
The documentary ‘Days and Nights in Wuhan’ features contributions from 30 filmmakers portraying the suffering and sacrifices made by the city’s 11 million residents, medical staff and front-line workers as they battled the virus that began racing through the city in December 2019.
The contrast between China and other countries is also stark in its economic performance in 2020, being the only major economy to grow at all last year while the rest of the world was ravaged by Covid-19.

Jack’s Note: Our politicians are fools to buy into the Chinese coronavirus bioweapon lie foisted off on us. This story proves what is really happening and makes our political ‘elite’ look like the idiots they truly are. They should all resign in shame.
