According to reports from foreign media such as The Epoch Times, the mountain fire in Guizhou has been burning for several days and nights since it broke out on the 18th. It has not yet been extinguished. There are also reports of casualties during the fire-fighting process. Because it was early spring, the vegetation was dry, and Guizhou was connected by many mountains. The fire spread rapidly, and the entire Guizhou almost became a “Flame Mountain.” Although isolation zones were cut to control the fire at one time, the wind direction changed later, causing the mountain to rise. The fire reignited again and again. ▲The distribution map of mountain fires in Guizhou posted on the Chinese Internet. (Picture/reproduced from Weibo) Judging from the location of the mountain fires, almost half of the province in Guizhou has been affected. However, there are not many reports in Chinese official media, and most of them use the words “only a few places are on fire” and “the fire is under control”. “” and other words were mentioned, and some of the causes of fires were “visiting graves to offer sacrifices”, “littering cigarette butts”, and “burning weeds”. However, multiple local self-media outlets broke the news one after another. Although the disaster was urgent, it could not even be found in the hot searches. There has been no popularity. They angrily criticized: “Guizhou people’s cries for help are drowning in the hot searches again and again, but there are still people trying to cover it up.” We sincerely ask Chinese netizens to try their best to help forward relevant information. Some residents and self-media exploded that some people involved in fighting the fire had died, the youngest was only 20 years old; some said that 5 to 6 villages had been burned near their homes, and even their own village was surrounded by flames, making it difficult for villagers to enter and exit; even Some netizens said that “the suicide note has been written” and bluntly said: “This mountain fire is not just one or two mountain tops, but most of Guizhou is burning. There are seven or eight mountain fires in Guiyang alone. Anshun, Bijie, Zunyi…most of Guizhou is ablaze with fire all night long. The fire in the dark night is behind the village, behind the school, and even in front of the house, swallowing the air.” Not only that, Li Ying, an overseas Chinese writer in Yi, posted on the X platform It was revealed that China deliberately “cooled” the Guizhou wildfires, allowed conspiracy theories to flourish, and even pointed the finger at Japan. “Because China has stopped trading Chinese herbal medicines with Japan, and Guizhou is one of China’s four major Chinese herbal medicine production areas, suspicions are circulating on the Internet,” he said. There are rumors such as “Japanese spies set fire with a grudge”. In addition, the authorities have also been questioned for trying to sing praises, such as “rows of armed police soldiers facing the fire”, “a mountain fire ahead, behind them thousands of lights”, “under the thermal imaging lens, armed police soldiers facing the fire” On the other hand, positive words such as “Using mortal bodies to build the Great Fire-fighting Wall” downplay the true extent of the Guizhou wildfires, and in turn accuse some self-media of just trying to “attract eyeballs and traffic.”
