Anonymous - We Don't Want Nucleic Acid Tests

<p>This week, we are looking at a poem in the news. We are airing on Saturday, October 15th, 2022. On Thursday October 13th, 2022, just three days before Chairman Xi Jinping is supposed to be anointed for his third term, someone mounted the Sitong Bridge in Beijing and unfurled two banners. One had a poem which read:</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We don’t want nucleic acid [tests], we want to eat</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We don’t want the Cultural Revolution, we want reform </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We don’t want lockdowns, we want freedom</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We don’t want a leader, we want voting</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We don’t want lies, we want respect</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We don’t want to be slaves, we want to be citizens</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">不要核酸1要吃饭3，不要文革要改革</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">不要封城要自由，不要领袖4要选票</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">不要谎言要尊严，不做奴才2做公民</span></p>
