Colonel Wang Xinlan, Long March veteran, politician and widow of Colonel General Xiao Hua dead at 98

Lots of sources saying Wang Xinlan was likely a COVID death and there's an image of someone that seems to be her, bedbound connected to oxygen in one article talking about the Chinese covid casualties.

Apparently there's twice the amount of veterans of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) dying in China now than usual and I'm almost willing to bet a few more Long March veterans will die in January. Actually I'd be very suprised if none died. There's an estimated 40 of them, average age around 101/102. Around a third of them either live in rural areas, aren't famous for anything else or have chosen not to be military propaganda faces and not a lot of news about those people exist, but they're included in lists made by Chinese media so I assume they'll still get lots of Chinese obituaries when they die.

Article in the financial times about the Chinese deaths, also when they are talking about internet sleuths I wonder if they mean this thread.

An old Soviet joke.

 

Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Napoleon watching the parade in Red Square.

- If I had Soviet tanks, I would be invincible! - says Alexander the Great.

- If I had Soviet planes, I'd conquer the whole world! - exclaims Caesar.

- If I had a newspaper "Pravda" (Truth) the world would never have known about Waterloo! - Napoleon grinned sadly.

 

 

By the number of deaths among famous people we can indirectly judge the catastrophic situation at the lower levels and the lies of official statistics.

:(

Peter Falk has never caught COVID.  He must be doing something right.
