People News – Halloween is originally a Western holiday where people dress up as various characters for entertainment, children go door-to-door for treats, and, of course, there are various pumpkin decorations. However, in China, Halloween celebrations have become a sort of taboo. In Shanghai, police patrol the streets of the city center, strictly cracking down on Halloween celebrations in this relatively most international city in China.

But Chinese young people, unwilling to stay silent under the CCP's political pressure, held a Halloween party on October 26, the eve of Halloween, playing cat-and-mouse with the CCP authorities. Many young people in Shanghai successfully displayed various strange costumes in locations like Zhongshan Park and Joy City as a way to express their pursuit of freedom and voice opposition to the CCP. Those following this event told foreign media that Halloween, originally a fun time for young people, now seems to have turned into an "anti-CCP movement"!

Even more fearsome for the CCP, following Shanghai, young people in other cities like Hangzhou and Guangzhou also took to the streets in various "costumes" (cosplay) ahead of Halloween.

Videos circulating from the mainland show that on October 27, on Zhongshan Road in Hangzhou, young people took to the streets to celebrate Halloween. CCP police on-site detained people in "costumes." Not only were people dressed as Spider-Man and Batman, but there was also a young person dressed as Fan Bingbing who was taken away by the police.

On the evening of the 27th, young people also took to the streets in Guangzhou's Dongshankou pedestrian area to celebrate Halloween. Locals mentioned that people in costume would be asked to remove their outfits.

An opinion piece authored by Zhang Jing, published recently on the Epoch Times website (link), says that young people using performance art forms like role-playing and situational reenactment to manifest truths they cannot express online is exactly what the CCP fears most.

The article further states that most participants in Halloween party events are young people who now bear unprecedented pressures. Many young people, facing various "involutions," choose to "lie flat," "let things rot," some choose "burning incense" or directly plan to "flee." This reflects the current social reality in China, where individuals see no way out, and the country has no future. Under such extreme repression, the CCP further clamps down on freedom of speech. Young people, with no outlet to voice their opinions, sink into despair. In the current climate of societal despair, people may shift from anger to disappointment, from despair to explosive action in an instant. The social realities reflected through role-playing can awaken the public, and an awakened populace may gather courage, shed fear, and resist tyranny. This is why CCP police strictly control costume appearances.

Below is a series of images published on the Epoch Times website: on the evening of October 26, at the Shanghai Halloween party, young people used this to express discontent with the CCP and to fight for freedom.
