「“瘟神来了”Ⅱ：数十万商户关门避罚，“避瘟神”运动蔓延至四省九市（2026.07.22-08.04）」7月下旬至8月初，此前席卷黑龙江多地的“避瘟神”运动，在沉寂半个多月后开始向南方蔓延。7月22日至8月4日的十余天里，“昨天”项目已记录到吉林、浙江、江苏、广东四省共九个城市出现大规模商户集体关门闭市的现象，涉及商户数十万家。商户以暂时停业的方式，规避中共检查组可能带来的高额罚款。本轮关门潮主要集中在浙江省。截至8月4日，宁波、金华、温州、衢州、台州和绍兴等六个城市均有大批商户持续关门。始于黑龙江的这场去中心化“非暴力不合作”运动，正在跨越省界，向中国南方多个地区扩散。
“The Plague God Is Coming” II: Hundreds of Thousands of Businesses Close to Avoid Fines as the “Avoiding the Plague God” Movement Spreads to Nine Cities Across Four Provinces (July 22–August 4, 2026)
From late July to early August, the “Avoiding the Plague God” movement, which had previously swept across many parts of Heilongjiang Province, began spreading southward after lying dormant for more than two weeks.
During the period from July 22 to August 4, the Yesterday Project documented large-scale collective business closures in nine cities across four provinces—Jilin, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Guangdong—involving hundreds of thousands of merchants. Businesses temporarily suspended operations to avoid the potentially heavy fines imposed by Chinese Communist Party inspection teams.
The latest wave of closures has been concentrated mainly in Zhejiang Province. As of August 4, large numbers of businesses remained closed in six cities: Ningbo, Jinhua, Wenzhou, Quzhou, Taizhou, and Shaoxing. Originating in Heilongjiang, this decentralized movement of “nonviolent noncooperation” is now crossing provincial boundaries and spreading to multiple regions of southern China.
