「封城视频触发“白纸一代”的“不正确记忆”，集体冲塔（2026.04.19）」 “Lockdown Video Triggers ‘Incorrect Memories’ Among the White Paper Generation, Sparking Collective Online Defiance (2026.04.19)”

4月19日，一名网友在中国的社交平台上发布了一段上海封城期间在某小区为居民表演的视频，瞬间触发大量”白纸一代”网友的”不正确集体记忆”，纷纷在评论区留言：”那时候我还像一张白纸什么也不知道”、”白纸——罄竹难书”、”总要算账的”、”乌鲁木齐中路”、”时代的眼泪”、”感谢勇敢的年轻人！”、”最后轰轰烈烈，不知道那些人现在出来了没有”。 On April 19, a netizen uploaded a video to a Chinese social media platform showing a performance for residents in a Shanghai compound during the lockdown. It instantly triggered a flood of “incorrect collective memories” among netizens of the “White Paper Generation,” who swarmed the comments section: “Back then, I was like a blank sheet of paper, knowing nothing,” “White paper—there aren’t enough words to record the grievances,” “The accounts will be settled eventually,” “Urumqi Road Middle,” “Tears of the era,” “Gratitude to the brave young people!” and “It ended in such a blaze of glory; I wonder if those people have been released yet.”

2022年以来，尽管中共竭尽全力屏蔽”白纸革命”的相关信息在中国境内的传播，但事实证明，互联网是有记忆的，这些记忆不会因独裁者的意志而消失。 Since 2022, despite the CCP’s exhaustive efforts to block information regarding the “White Paper Revolution” within China, facts prove that the internet has a memory. These memories will not vanish at the will of a dictator.

[Hundreds of Henan Rural Bank Depositors Rally Again at Zhengzhou Bank Headquarters (2026.04.16)]

On April 16, over a hundred rural bank depositors from across the country gathered once again outside the headquarters of Zhengzhou Bank, located in Jinshui District, Zhengzhou, Henan, demanding the return of their savings. Nearly four years ago, on July 10, 2022, depositors staging a similar protest at the same location were set upon by a large mob of plainclothes thugs dispatched by the Chinese Communist Party. The crisis began in April 2022, when multiple rural banks in Henan, Anhui, and other provinces abruptly shut down their online withdrawal services, illegally freezing tens of billions of yuan belonging to tens of thousands of depositors. In the years since, depositors have mounted countless campaigns to defend their rights, but to little avail — many have faced prolonged surveillance, harassment, and detention at the hands of the authorities.
