26/11/2022 Lin Junjun | 11.26 Middle Wulumuqi Road

‘Legally recording what is happening in the land I love. Rest in Peace. Long Live the People’

This is the only photo collection in this archive. People gathered together in Middle Wulumuqi Road, Shanghai, to remember those being killed in the fire of Wulumuqi, Xinjiang. In the fire, the gate of the apartment was locked and no one was allowed to run out because of the lockdown regulation. People gather together voluntarily on the road with the same name, lighting candles and raising signs to remember and protest the lockdown regulation.

Q: What’s your memory of the protests in China? Can you give any examples?

Interviewee A: The nationwide protests were ignited by the Wulumuqi fire. A student in an art college firstly held the A4 protest, attracting hundreds of students gathered around in the square for both remember and protest. A student in my school also raised signs and he was punished. And hundreds of people gathered on Wulumuqi Road in Shanghai for protest, the next day the road sign was taken down.

Interviewee B: I knew there were protest movements against the zero Covid policy across the globe. I remembered there was one in November, outside the embassy of China in London and I was quite surprised, I didn’t expect that many Chinese people would stand out and speak for themselves as before it was mainly the Hong Kong people protesting against the government. But If we look back at Chinese history we would find out there are lots of examples of protest movements against the ruler, such as the 1911 revolution to overturn the Qing government or the 1986 and 1989 protests. However, I think it is different in this case, the government has been strictly controlling the media in China, censoring all the messages flow that had a potential threat to the government’s rule since 1989, China hasn’t really experienced such a large-scale protest for a long time.

(DunHuang) LiuYuanNan to WuLuMuQi (Urumqi)

This was not an easy ticket to get. But nothing unusual for China ;-)

We decided to get the ticket from the train station in Zhangye because we had a bit of time before departure. We had the reservation number, the email but apparently my passport number didn’t appear in the system. We kind of figured out what it was but she was adamant that we didn’t have a reservation for both of us first, then she “found” Elke’s but not mine. Since the ticket was not for a train departing from this station and that day she thought we would give up. She had no idea who she was up against and after about 30 minutes of “talk” she “found” my ticket but still said the number didn’t match. She wasn’t about to lose face to foreigners and she just wasn’t going to admit that the I in the passeport number was indeed a letter and not the number 1.

Does anyone think they'll roll back these measures? via /r/China

Does anyone think they'll roll back these measures?

I went to Xinjiang a few years back and right now every city in China feels like wulumuqi. The constant police checks, the signing in and out of every residential building, the distrust etc - it's like they thought "Oh hold up, use the xinjiang plan, that should stop this epidemic"

Shanghai | The First Month

Our first month in Shanghai is in the books! We are settled in our new apartment, our belongings have arrived via air shipment, and life is clipping along. In the midst of adjusting to our surroundings, learning the area, and general work/family life, we are shamelessly shoveling as much Chinese food into our mouths as possible.

Last night after Mika went to sleep, Keith and I took a little break to just cuddle on the sofa and reminisce over all the places life has taken us so far. It’s wonderful to be able to catch our breath and savor these sweet moments in our new home. And, boy, what adventures the two of us have had together!

This month we’ve been fortunate with a number of good quality air days, so we’ve braced ourselves against the heat and spent a fair bit of time wandering outside, swatting mosquitos and taking in the scenery. Considering the number of swollen, itchy red bumps I have trailing down both my legs and arms, I’d say the swatting has been sub-par, but the scenery has been excellent. 

When Keith is home on the weekends, we’ve taken the afternoons to explore some of the bigger, famous areas that are just a few metro stops from our apartment — Xujiahui, Xintiandi, and South Shaanxi Road. 

Last weekend, we browsed the Foreign Language Bookstore in People’s Square. While Keith and I were elated over the availability of so many English books, Mika had an utter meltdown over being in her stroller that cut our shopping spree short. The rest of the afternoon was spent passing her back and forth in tired arms, pushing an empty stroller along crowded, bumpy sidewalks, and taking a much-needed mid-afternoon meal break at a restaurant in Raffles City mall (the Chinese name of the restaurant roughly translates to “Yao Yao Loves Fish” — delicious, spicy and pretty!)

On weekdays, Mika and I like to walk around our immediate neighborhood in the Former French Concession. She and I have indulged in some excellent pastries, stopped for tea at a coffee shop on Wulumuqi Road where Mika (I’m sure) made quick friends with all of the other patrons by babbling loudly non-stop, and found the famed Avocado Lady — a tiny, crowded storefront well-known to local expats selling a hodgepodge of imported items. 

In the middle of the month, Keith went on a business trip to the Chinese city of Xiamen, and then last week another trip to Yinchuan (which is the capital of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in northern China, in case your Far East geography is a bit rusty). Mika and I took it easy while he was gone, lounging around the apartment while Mika practiced standing and I practiced not being a nervous wreck every time she stumbles.

So that’s a wrap on our first month! It’s funny how quickly we can adapt to a new setting...especially with a baby. It feels like we’re “home” as long as she’s around doing her baby things and having her baby needs taken care of. While I still miss Tokyo, especially when I look back at our photos, I find myself far less homesick than I thought I would be after just a month. 

Of course, this may just be the “honeymoon” period before the shock of adjustment and change sets in. I’ll keep you posted!
