Yea some can just switch it off and go know exactly how to continue, and some need the time to figure out the big reasons behind all that happened and getting out of that routine of just staying locked. We sometimes deal differently with a crisis. Overall a big setback of human nature.
Thank you for this documentary, it made me cry again, going through lots of the emotions I felt during this horrible lockdown…especially the part of being scared for our dogs and cat and thinking of how we’d be able to fight back in case they try to take us…I left Shanghai on June 1st, the official end of lockdown, and since then I’ve been struggling still to feel normal again, being triggered by things, feeling somehow strange and misplaced, having trouble to put these memories and emotions into words, your documenting helped me…I’ll share it with my friends and family who keep asking how it was to be in Shanghai lockdown…for now I still lack the courage to write my memories down and the words to describe, they might never come.
It was an necessary measure to curve the spread of the virus. If these measures weren’t in place many more people would have die. This virus is merciless and ruthless when it spread like a wild fire. Like any disaster people needs to understand that by doing absolutely nothing. Life can’t go on like usual. You are lock down at home not in a prison cell. It’s absolutely selfish way of thinking.
@@ayamasakya4196 I think for many people it has been though mentally. It is not just being “locked at home” - It is everything else surrounding it. Like you said there are always two sides of the coin.
This reminds me of the first lockdown in India which was a nationwide lockdown for 3 months in such a huge country all at once and for us to go and buy groceries also there were restrictions where not more than 1 -2 km were you allowed to go for grocery and not more than an 1-2 hours Can definitely relate to what's happening there now
They're spending a fortune on those white hazmat suits and testing, and other people in China are without hope as their cities and towns have been swept away in catastrophic floods.
Some money is something that anyone can and will get back but not like a human life. Once they are gone they don’t come back ever. It’s sad that someone like you value money than a human life which is irreplaceable.
hong konger here, yes when omicron was hitting HK hard earlier this year & we were still having online classes i do remember being almost stuck at home/ not going out a lot only for not even about 5 months, but i can’t even imagine not being able to go out for more than 6 months with people being treated like this. I feel sorry for everyone who had to endure the pain of having their doors knocked down by officials and being forced to spend over 14 days in a quarantine center
I got COVID about 2 weeks ago. Thank goodness at the time I was in Phuket, and could swim in the ocean to ease the boredom. Just 6 days of quarantine was excruciatingly boring and cut short the free time I had there. I can't imagine having to live like that for 63 days - and even worse, in a small apartment. Time for 7 days more quarantine when I get back home...
I'm trying to imagine being shut in my apartment for TWO months, and it is a horrifying thought. I'm in Boston, and occasionally, we will have a severe snowstorm that locks us in for a day or two; not a bad thing as it makes us stay in and binge watch or catch up on projects. After a couple of days, however, everybody has a great need to get out and about.
What is so horrible about being shut in your own home for two months? Do you rather bring lockdown in a prison? It’s was an absolute necessary measure to curve the spread of the virus.
When covid started in my country i stayed at home from March to July Then went on a 1 week vacation Then i stayed at home from August to February of the next year.... I see no issue
@@ayamasakya4196 for a lot of people with mental health issues - or even those without - being stuck inside one’s small apartment for months and not being able to get outside for walks, hikes, etc. and social isolation can lead to severe depression. Not being able to see anyone or do the small things you took for granted that kept your sanity together. I know there have been many suicides during lockdowns. For some people it’s not as big of a deal. For others, it’s no joke.
I agree. It’s a horrifying thought and I think I would not do well mentally. I had to stay in the country and leave Chicago for several months during the lockdowns because I started to feel my sanity slipping away. I felt trapped and isolated and Chicago lockdowns weren’t way as severe as Shanghai.
Please do not forget the animals wellbeing >:( seems like the pets might've been forcefully abandoned? Did they allow the pets to follow owner when relocating them? Food provided?
Awesome mini documentary gives a real inside look at life during this person's quarantine, I think next time you should have the person talking in Chinese translated in English text so they can better describe what they're implying or how they feel overall but this was really well put together nice job 👍
Why does the language matter more then they are sharing their opinions and experience of a lockdown? It makes no difference if they shared their experiences in Chinese or in English. The only thing that matters is that they telling their stories.
you are so luck to enjoy your foreign imported coffee in the upscale coffee shop on your first thing to do list after covid lockdown. i guess that what journalists like you are caring the most. while most shanghai residents are struggling with their foods and employment.
This is so scary and sad. I hope the scientific community finds cures and treatments for Long Covid, and we can move on from Strict Lockdowns toward, protecting the vulnerable, Vaccination, masking, and treatments.
Everybody complained and suffer because of lockdown. While my introvert soul feel nothing quite enjoying even. Forget 63 days, even 365 days is completely fine for me.
Lol so true. 😂😂😂😂. My husband and daughter are interverts. They can be in the same room and not speak for 2 hours. They enjoy each other’s company without words!!!
bro the problem with the lockdown is the food shortage. yeah stay at home is easy when you are sure that the food will never runs out. but I think in this case food is became so scarce that's why many people were complaining and suffering.
Comments are sickening... If after 62 days you just pop a bottle and go back to normal... You deserve every bit of the sh!tshow you just went through... Next time do not comply with all this bs
It's also killed the elderly because they couldn't get medical help in time. One woman screamed for help/food for days before someone finally got her food. Another woman's husband died in front of her because they couldn't get help. I'm not against lockdowns, wearing masks & such. Shoot I'm still wearing my mask & not just because it helps with my allergies. But the length they've gone to here are human rights violations. If I lived there I'd be setting aside enough food to lasts for months & making arrangements with neighbors to care for each other's pets. You just don't know when they'll lock down again. Although it probably won't be as much. I hope. Hopefully it's saved far more lives than it's cost.

It's necessary as Shanghai is a densely packed city. The government focuses on the health safety of all because Covid can spread fast. Let the western nations do their way and China would do their way. China's has billion us people. If 1% rise in infections we are talking about millions of people. Prevention is better than cure.
I call bs on that. The only requirement is to have a vaccine for all this to be put in the past. Problem is, their vaccine is a bootleg knockoff and doesn't work well. They should bite the bullet, and buy from Pfizer, moderna or Johnson & Johnson. But the CCP is to arrogant to ask for help
C'mon. Let's face up to facts. Chinese are basically cowards to be so afraid of the essentially harmless omicron virus. Everybody else just toughened up and got through it.
Not saying that Shanghai did it completely right, but when you hear stuff like this, please make sure to also think about the high risk people of all ages who have been forced into this exact type of isolation because everyone else wants to live their lives recklessly. There’s a very easy and happy medium somewhere between these two extremes, but let’s not pretend that the US (etc.) are doing any better allowing millions to die. More people have died this year than in 2020 and 2021.
It's very unfortunate that you didn't get through the worst experience like those have; because then, we would be able to see more interesting report and perhaps actually hear what's SCMP opinion . Too bad, it should happen to those that are pro CCP or influencers and we'll see what would they say after that. But then, it's also very unfair because when it hapen to these influencers, they had special care and different treatment; which give excuses to disregard those other disturbing videos as fake or propaganda. I wonder how would those people feel when they see the different treatment and the way things was handled for some people.
It's so unfortunate that you are not yet getting infected or died of the virus, as tens of millions people in United Satans of AmeriKKKa, India, and other places!! Hahaha.. hahaha... what a shame!!
Happened to me. Two years ago I got lock down for 8 months, almost nine by my school. Couldn't go outside. Other than thinking my school was overly strict (even more than the city government) and it was boring, it was what it was. Just follow the rules. Still pro CCP ✌🏻.
Ive started to wonder if this channel is under the CCP, being that they all the news are controlled by them, even painting some student “late to their exam cause they we stuck in their home” aka the CCP welded their door so they dont get out, acting like it was just a normal problem, and even that, i’ve seen so many randos filming the CCP people making propaganda outside to look like they’re nice and all but its all just a lie.
I was in Beijing lockdown. Things are much different, learning the lesson from Shanghai. Beijing reacted much quicker than Shanghai. Now we are over it after a month of community lockdown, and have the 72 hours covid test to go about, with the help of public transit card. It's really cool.
@@robertburke1486 Where emergency rooms resembled hellscape, with bodies piling and people going on like nothing have happened? Everything come at a price.

For all of us seeing thousands ill and deceased in mass in 2020, I would choose always a lockdown in time and not the trauma of letting die people because we didn't have any other option.
@@antoine22 Well, you're right, you can treat people well with or without lockdowns. In any case lockdowns are public health measures needed in certain epidemiological situations to avoid mass death and acute severe illness and sequelae from keep happening. That's true too.
Hey be grateful our state government didn't weld us shut in our homes (even with the Gestapo-esque police) and starved us to death (which wasn't resolved till the first couple months of covid).
Its nothing unique, we experience the lock down impact the same way last two years. The difference is only they are experiencing it now. Its the same except the part of getting logistic to work with such huge population density compare to ours, can imagine the challenge behind it. Ours is not perfect as well.
What kind of lockdown? I can’t imagine you were locked down to your apartment only. There are variations of lockdown and Shanghai’s was the most extreme.
As a normal Shanghainese, i think this is the history already. It is moment of past. But this is an valueable life experience help people in Shanghai how to respect national/citywide order and value of life , and love in community. Although it is bit difficult in the begin and loses in economy. But it is over in the end. Life should move on in a active way.
This is criminal. The people there could take a stand if they had a way to defend themselves. But they don’t they are trapped. The right to bare arms is a right that America needs to always hold close. That’s what is saving us. And the politicians know it.

Although having to go through one 45 days lockdown and two 14 days lockdown my self, I still support the zero COVID policy. If you look up the death rate of the Omicron variant and calculated the total number of death, you'll see that the death toll of China would be in the millions, one international study shows around 5 million people will die if we allow it to spread. Most importantly, I don't know how I could live with my self if I know that my actions have cause the death of others, that my actions have destroyed a family.
@@NGC-8931 a lie?? Why?? Care to share?? Hahaha... hahaha... what a shameless brainless childish hypocrite old kidd!! Hahaha.. hahaha... what a shame!!
I'm not sure why it wouldn't be, considering only the sheer number of people in China; if everyone gets infected at least similar to the rest of the world, then even a 0.01 percent mortality rate would mean that 1million people will die- COVID's mortality rate is somewhere around 2-3 percent, maybe more in some parts of the world without proper health care, and if we compile that with China's population of 1.4 billion, then 140 million people will die if it's 1 percent mortality, 280 million if it is 2%, more than 5 times the amount of people in WWII that died from every country combined.
Maybe send this "journalist" to Ukraine for the same 63 days and experience what they are going through so he can stop acting so privileged and appreciate Shanghai's monumental efforts to keep its citizens safe. Ukrainians would trade places with him in a heartbeat. Hindsight is 20/20 so Lord know how many lives were saved in Shanghai.
Not true at all; did you see the video of the Ukrainian woman who fled Shanghai as soon as she could to get back to Ukraine? She said Ukraine was in tough shape, but nothing compared to the weird, dystopian Shanghai prison.
@@nancymcgee4776 His point: You prefer 1 million death and many millions of broken families at US, or 2 months lockdown at China? For me, I prefer 2 months lockdown.
Most who died were not in the omicron wave. Also most who died did not die directly from Covid. If you died from heart attack and tested Covid, you became a statistic. It is such a self-destructing policy for China to do hard lockdown during omicron. And there are more than 200 countries in the world, not just USA and China. How do you explain ONLY China did this dumb thing?
I didn’t really realize it, but it took more than a year for me to feel socially normal again after the lockdowns
Then you are the really really slow type; it took me just few days.

Five years of zero later, there will still be covid
Yeap, it's aimed against life in every aspect.
I was in Beijing lockdown. Things are much different, learning the lesson from Shanghai. Beijing reacted much quicker than Shanghai. Now we are over it after a month of community lockdown, and have the 72 hours covid test to go about, with the help of public transit card. It's really cool.
How much does the CCP pay you?
Must be "really cool" to have to get tested every 72 hours.
@@robertburke1486 They have test booths everywhere. Walk to the street corner, coffee in hand, and open your mouth. Takes like 2 min.
@@theolich4384 How about this? Living in a city where you don't have to take tests like the rest of the world.
@@robertburke1486 Where emergency rooms resembled hellscape, with bodies piling and people going on like nothing have happened? Everything come at a price. I understand that can bear with the tests, even occasional lockdowns _for the time being_ - while someone content with being so snowflake that they would rather have others die - in thousands if not millions - instead.
Life is getting back to normal in the US. Almost everybody here is vaccinated (with a "real" vaccine).
How do you know you got the "real" vaccine? . Source from the underworld i know only 100% americans are the only ones that got the real one
Zombified
Other countries do not have such extreme policies, so why does China do this?
So less people spread and die from a disease.
You prefer 1 million death and many millions of broken families at US, or 2 months lockdown at China? For me, I prefer 2 months lockdown.
What is your problem here??? Hahaha... hahaha.... China, China, China all the time!! You'd better mind your own problems and issues, old kidd!! Hahaha... hahaha... what a shame!!
Ikr look at America we have 100 million cases and 1 million deaths (that has been recorded) and we still a functional society 😂😂😂
@@islandvibez yes, might be you're right, old kidd!! Just ask all of those gun and racism violence victims!! And what is your economic situation?? Only negative growth and high inflation??? Hahaha.. hahaha.... Civil war 2.0 is coming soon!! Just wait and watch!! Hahaha... hahaha...what a shame!!
Guy does not loon Chinese, is he South East asian
Hello this is from. Thailand ,if there's any chance to get a new vaccine for sub variants as a new omicron ba4-5
Pls anyone let me know ,
Crimes against Humanity
Shame on the CCP!
Better than 1 million dead Americans due to negligence of US government
Discusting lady has cat sitting g there next to her while preparing food ... here sniff my fish mittens........ what a grub
For all of us seeing thousands ill and deceased in mass in 2020, I would choose always a lockdown in time and not the trauma of letting die people because we didn't have any other option.
Mor*n. Then only you who are afraid should be in lock down. Others shouldn't be victimized and imprisoned because of your mental issues(fear).
It's not about doing lockdowns, it's about doing them humanly and treating people with respect
@@antoine22 Well, you're right, you can treat people well with or without lockdowns.
In any case lockdowns are public health measures needed in certain epidemiological situations to avoid mass death and acute severe illness and sequelae from keep happening. That's true too.
@@fanatla3195 Or perheps to cause them.
In Melbourne Australia we were locked down for two years, so I can't see what's your problem.
Hey be grateful our state government didn't weld us shut in our homes (even with the Gestapo-esque police) and starved us to death (which wasn't resolved till the first couple months of covid).
I seen the riots Social media even took the videos down
The problem is you like to be imprisoned and that's your choice. Others shouldn't be suffering because of your fears. Get it? Mo*on
Is this ccp funded media? Anyone know?
Time to remove Winnie the pooh
@@HongKongBlue Why do you pretend to like Hong Kong when you celebrate the man who destroyed it?
@@HongKongBlue by the way, people dislike Winnie the pooh because he is a textbook fascist who has turned China into a fascist country.
Почему вы позволяете так издеваться над вами??? Етот вирус большая афёра и обман!!! Не страна а концлагерь ...ето не жизнь а тюрьма...
Its nothing unique, we experience the lock down impact the same way last two years. The difference is only they are experiencing it now. Its the same except the part of getting logistic to work with such huge population density compare to ours, can imagine the challenge behind it. Ours is not perfect as well.
What kind of lockdown? I can’t imagine you were locked down to your apartment only. There are variations of lockdown and Shanghai’s was the most extreme.
When start to china visa
it's not lockdown. It's called imprisonment for the innocent. But I'm not saying China is unique. All the "free" countries had a go
As a normal Shanghainese, i think this is the history already. It is moment of past. But this is an valueable life experience help people in Shanghai how to respect national/citywide order and value of life , and love in community. Although it is bit difficult in the begin and loses in economy. But it is over in the end. Life should move on in a active way.
It’s not over, it’s just going to keep going around and around. Thanks China.

This is criminal. The people there could take a stand if they had a way to defend themselves. But they don’t they are trapped. The right to bare arms is a right that America needs to always hold close. That’s what is saving us. And the politicians know it.
America is joke ， Abortion is prohibited while drug is Allowed
What's more criminal is 1 million dead Americans due to the negligence of US government. Genocide.
The government has tanks and nukes. Your AR-15 ain't sh**.

So glad I don't live in china
Although having to go through one 45 days lockdown and two 14 days lockdown my self, I still support the zero COVID policy. If you look up the death rate of the Omicron variant and calculated the total number of death, you'll see that the death toll of China would be in the millions, one international study shows around 5 million people will die if we allow it to spread. Most importantly, I don't know how I could live with my self if I know that my actions have cause the death of others, that my actions have destroyed a family.
Thats a lie
You would feel like those people who purposefully released the virus ?But they probably don’t have a conscious.
1 million death and many millions of broken families at US, or 2 months lockdown at China? For me, I prefer 2 months lockdown.
@@NGC-8931 a lie?? Why?? Care to share?? Hahaha... hahaha... what a shameless brainless childish hypocrite old kidd!! Hahaha.. hahaha... what a shame!!
I'm not sure why it wouldn't be, considering only the sheer number of people in China; if everyone gets infected at least similar to the rest of the world, then even a 0.01 percent mortality rate would mean that 1million people will die-
COVID's mortality rate is somewhere around 2-3 percent, maybe more in some parts of the world without proper health care, and if we compile that with China's population of 1.4 billion, then 140 million people will die if it's 1 percent mortality, 280 million if it is 2%, more than 5 times the amount of people in WWII that died from every country combined.
❤✌🙌💐
ba.5 be like: heheheha
Umphh that 63 days is NOTHING compared tp us living in Malaysia and had been locked down almost two years before!!
I would definitely leave China and live somewhere else
working for scmp also brings no joy and happiness
Hola
Hola 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Maybe send this "journalist" to Ukraine for the same 63 days and experience what they are going through so he can stop acting so privileged and appreciate Shanghai's monumental efforts to keep its citizens safe. Ukrainians would trade places with him in a heartbeat. Hindsight is 20/20 so Lord know how many lives were saved in Shanghai.
Not true at all; did you see the video of the Ukrainian woman who fled Shanghai as soon as she could to get back to Ukraine? She said Ukraine was in tough shape, but nothing compared to the weird, dystopian Shanghai prison.
Grief is not a competition.
Well USA is the direct opposite, and their country had died 1 million+ peoples. I'll let you be the judge.
Yes, millions of Americans and millions of many countries’ citizens died, due to ignorance, lack of vaccines, etc. May they Rest In Peace.
What's your point?
@@nancymcgee4776 His point: You prefer 1 million death and many millions of broken families at US, or 2 months lockdown at China? For me, I prefer 2 months lockdown.
@@nancymcgee4776 the point?? His point?? Isn't it so ver obvious?? Freedumb!! Demoncrazy!! No more abortion!! Only guns!! Hahaha.. hahaha...
Most who died were not in the omicron wave. Also most who died did not die directly from Covid. If you died from heart attack and tested Covid, you became a statistic. It is such a self-destructing policy for China to do hard lockdown during omicron. And there are more than 200 countries in the world, not just USA and China. How do you explain ONLY China did this dumb thing?
But but, masks work.....
