The Alarming Reality of Funeral Home Construction Across Mainland China: Is the Pandemic Still Ongoing?

During the three years of the pandemic, the Chinese Communist Party established "Big White" epidemic prevention teams across the country, acting as enforcers to suppress innocent civilians. This is a continuation of the "Maple Bridge Experience." (Screenshot from the internet)

[People News] A video of a white-haired grandmother confronting multiple police officers with her bare hands has recently gone viral online. In the footage, the grandmother faces a group of heavily armed military police wielding shields and firearms, approaching them with a fierce determination. She bends down to pick up a stone from the ground and hurls it at the police. The officers block her with their shields, creating loud 'bang' sounds, and after throwing a few stones, the grandmother quickly retreats into the crowd, adjusts herself, and charges forward again, her movements swift and agile...

This incident took place at the entrance of the government office in Xinyi City, Maoming, Guangdong. Across the street, hundreds of villagers gathered to protest the government's plan to build a funeral home in their residential area in Shuikou Town. Reports indicate that the situation escalated when the government informed the public about plans to construct a road named 'Liru Avenue' for land requisition.

According to a report by Hong Kong media Ming Pao on the 21st, the Xinyi City government announced on the 16th the 'Xinyi Yifuyuan' project, stating that it plans to invest 145 million yuan, with the specific location being in Maliutang, chosen for being '500 meters away from any residents.'

The foundation has been laid, but the villagers only realised by mid-March that this was a funeral home! Additionally, a primary school is located about 500 meters away, and within a 1-kilometre radius, there are other villages and water sources. The village is called Wangyang Village, and the residents are expressing strong dissatisfaction, claiming they were deceived by the government and raising concerns about the impact on their lives and environmental safety. As a result, they gathered to protest at the village committee, but were met with suppression; in contrast, more people, including residents from neighbouring villages, moved their protests to the city government’s entrance three days later. The Xinyi City government responded to media inquiries by stating, 'We are unclear about the conflict and need to further understand the specific situation.'

Local residents have vehemently opposed the construction of the crematorium, and Xinyi is not an isolated incident. In Maoming, Guangdong, the planning of a crematorium in Wenzhou Town also led to public protests, resulting in significant clashes between police and citizens. Subsequently, the construction of a crematorium in Bo Yang Town sparked another wave of local protests.

Videos have also surfaced showing that funeral homes are under construction in various locations, including Hefeng County in Hubei and Shouxian in Anhui.

Why has mainland China been persistently building crematoriums and funeral homes in recent years? And why are they proceeding with construction despite public outrage and protests? What underlying facts are driving this construction? The only explanation is that supply is failing to meet demand. This is a rather alarming situation.

The surge in death rates in mainland China

Chinese media outlets, including Sina Finance, have previously reported using data from the National Bureau of Statistics, indicating that in the past two years, the total number of deaths in mainland China reached 10.41 million, averaging nearly 30,000 deaths per day, which translates to one death every three seconds.

According to the misleading statistics provided by the Chinese Communist Party, the population of mainland China is currently estimated to be around 1.4 billion. Based on this figure, the death rate has reportedly reached 7.37%, resulting in a negative population growth trend that has persisted for over 60 years. However, it is widely believed that the actual population of China is less than one billion. Observations during major holidays, such as the New Year, reveal a noticeable decline in foot traffic in both large and small cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Hangzhou, and Shenyang. Streets, supermarkets, and tourist attractions are significantly less crowded, and many residential areas have turned into ghost towns with no residents. Rural areas are similarly affected, with sparse populations leading to numerous abandoned and uninhabited villages. Reports circulating online suggest that many businesses and street vendors, facing a downturn in sales, are questioning: Where have all the people gone?

Sina.com has also reported that the majority of deaths in mainland China occur among individuals aged 15 to 59, totalling approximately 3.5 million, which represents one-third of all deaths. The leading causes of death in this demographic are: excessive fatigue, which accounts for 600,000 deaths, followed by air pollution at 385,000, suicides (S) at 287,000, and medical accidents at 200,000…

Our analysis of the data leads us to a stark conclusion: the people are struggling to survive. Consider this: individuals aged 15-59 are in the prime of their lives, a period of peak vitality, yet the highest number of those who have been 'removed' due to excessive labour is alarmingly high. This highlights the extent of hardship and suffering faced by the populace. Additionally, air pollution underscores the severity of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) destruction of nature and the environment; environmental pollution is a significant factor contributing to the widespread occurrence of epidemics and frequent natural and man-made disasters. Moreover, the figure of 287,000 raises a critical question: how severe is the pressure of life, the oppression of existence, or the absence of joy in living in mainland China? Even without stating it explicitly, the reality is evident to all. When discussing medical accidents, we won't delve into the corruption of hospitals following moral decay or doctors demanding payment for treatment, nor will we address counterfeit drugs or the need for money during surgeries. Instead, we should reflect on how many healthy individuals have been harmed by medical treatment, and how many living people have had their body parts forcibly taken...

Some argue that the forcible removal of body parts is a contentious issue. However, the solution is straightforward: you can investigate as a patient, or request the CCP government to permit an independent investigation, or you could travel to China and discreetly investigate those hospitals and doctors to see what unfolds.

Is the pandemic still ongoing?

In reality, over 10 million people in mainland China lose their loved ones every day, as the CCP's data is widely recognised as manipulated. Thus, with such a vast amount of data, which has shown an upward trend in recent years, one reason the CCP is reluctant to discuss is its connection to natural disasters, particularly the pandemic. Diseases such as COVID-19 and influenza have not disappeared from the mainland in recent years.

Since the start of this year, numerous reports from foreign media have highlighted that hospitals in various cities across mainland China are overwhelmed. Funeral service providers and many citizens have shared online that a significant number of elderly individuals have died, and alarmingly, many young people have also experienced sudden deaths, prompting some funeral homes to continuously hire more staff. Many netizens have commented around the New Year, noting that several people in their circles have passed away. Some funeral homes are filled with families waiting to collect the ashes of their loved ones.

A funeral worker in Ningbo, Zhejiang, mentioned that the wave of deaths seems to come in succession, with the pandemic having a considerable impact on the lungs of the elderly. There are also young individuals who fall ill, typically with no viable treatment options; their lungs appear white, and if it weren't for the pandemic, they could have lived much longer.

Earlier this year, Mr Liu, a Shanghai resident, revealed that this wave of the pandemic began in November 2025, with a major outbreak occurring in December. Many children became infected and took time off to seek medical care, resulting in a continued spread of the virus and overcrowded hospitals.

Mr Liu from Shanghai stated, "There are many people seeking medical attention. Community hospitals have been open every day for a week, all dealing with COVID-19 cases. They superficially claim it’s just a cold or something similar, adhering to a unified narrative. Sudden deaths have been reported since the onset of COVID-19, but doctors won’t disclose the truth; they simply attribute it to pre-existing health conditions."

Mr Zhao, a resident of Taiyuan, Shanxi, revealed that this wave of the pandemic is particularly severe, with elderly individuals in rural areas unable to afford medical treatment, leading them to despair. Authorities are suppressing information.

Mr Zhao from Taiyuan, Shanxi, remarked: "The situation is very serious; many young people and children are falling ill. There are numerous cases of heart attacks, strokes, lung nodules, pneumonia, and lung cancer among the young. In November, a 70-year-old couple received a pension of only 300 yuan, which is insufficient for medical care, leading them to forgo treatment and ultimately take their own lives."

The unidentified liquid sprayed in the middle of the night: has it had a delayed effect?

A strange phenomenon that has long remained unexplained now seems to have a potential answer upon reflection. Since the end of last year, over a dozen provinces in mainland China have reported bizarre incidents involving the spraying of unidentified liquids by drones or other means in the middle of the night. This odd occurrence sparked various speculations among the public, yet the authorities have remained silent. People have wondered whether these sprays were pesticides, disinfectants, measures for epidemic prevention, or even attempts to spread diseases.

Videos captured by residents show these incidents occurring across a wide range of areas, from Liaoning and Inner Mongolia to Beijing, North China, South China, and down to Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, and beyond. Some witnesses reported seeing individuals spraying a liquid that produced yellow gas, with a medicinal smell in the air, while others claimed to have seen drones flying at night. Many netizens reported that after the drone spraying, they detected a strange odor reminiscent of burnt wires, and some even began to experience headaches, fevers, and other symptoms.

Some netizens speculated that this might be pesticide spraying. This is a possibility; if such drones were operating in rural or agricultural areas, it would be more understandable. However, the issue arises from the fact that many drones were spotted in urban settings, hovering over residential buildings at midnight and spraying unidentified liquids, with some even being captured by residents, leaving the public thoroughly confused. Some netizens expressed concern, questioning whether there might be malicious intent behind these actions, such as poisoning or disease spreading.

In hindsight, the most plausible explanation is that the government received certain information and was engaged in disinfection or epidemic prevention efforts, suggesting that there may have been an outbreak of an epidemic virus during that time.
