Video: Chinese Students Gathered to Mourn Urumqi Fire Victims and Questions Lockdown Policy

On the night of 24 November, a fire broke out in a high-rise residential building in Urumqi, China. The fire killed at least 20 people, including several children, the youngest of whom was just three years old.

Online footage of the rescue effort shows workers in white protective clothing breaking down fences and barricades that had been erected around the building due to China's zero-Covid lockdown policy. Many Chinese on social media are questioning whether the lockdown blockade was hindering rescue.

The incident led to an outbreak of mourning and protest activities in many parts of China. At Nanguang College of the Communication University of China, students held up plain A4 paper sheets. They sparked a "white paper revolution" to mourn the fire victims in Urumqi. On 26 November, another online clip showed campus students gathering in mourning, lighting up the night with their mobile phones and chanting "Long live the people, may the dead rest in peace."
