If we look past the bureaucracy and herds of sheep who only know how to take orders, we see people who are passionate about their work and do it with their whole heart. This doctor is an example. There are many like him but because of a government machinery that stifles dissent, people generally just ignore things and keep quiet. Dr Li’s words ‘a healthy society should not have just one voice’ will be seared into the collective consciousness. Hopefully, we will see a change in things in East Asia.

@novembermoon It seems that anger is simmering among the Chinese at the way authorities handled the case trying to silence the doctor who raised the alert, and online censorship is not able to control it. The change will come. It will take time but little by little people aee waking up.

Yeah. I heard. Sad really. Hope it teaches those who arrested him a life lesson considering where they are at now

I heard this morning. In effect it was a big "I told you so".
