Mainland Blogger: So Many Around Me Have Passed Away – Warns of More Deaths in the Next Two Years

A wave of sudden death sparks panic across China's social media. They're all so young. Around July 24th, Chinese social media was flooded with chilling accounts of unexpected deaths, many involving young or middle-aged individuals. Users described eerily similar scenes, friends, colleagues, or classmates collapsing without warning. Comment sections were filled with shocked remarks like, the people around me are dying one after another, and so many middle-aged people have just gone. Numerous netizens blamed the toll taken by years of epidemic-related stress and health neglect. One Douyin blogger, known as Sister Ying Talks About Sleep, shared a haunting prediction. In the next two years, many people will die. This year alone, sudden collapses will become common. She cited a friend in the healthcare field who warned that emergency departments dread patients born in the 1980s and 1990s, many of whom arrive with symptoms of exhaustion, stress-induced collapse, or anxiety-driven insomnia. In my life, the blogger said, the people who have passed away in the past two years were not elderly. They were just suddenly gone. Another voice, Douyin creator Shu Long Anti-Aging posted in May, I'm 43, and many of my classmates are already gone. Our generation born in the 1980s might not live as long as our grandparents. I know several people who've died of cerebral hemorrhage recently. Douyin blogger Li Jianjun echoed the concern, noting a surge in cardiovascular-related sudden deaths across all age groups, from 20-somethings to retirees. You could be walking in the park, playing cards, or sleeping, and then you're gone. Jiang Yaqiu, chief physician at the Cardiovascular Center of Jilin University's First Hospital, shared on May 28th that at least 10 patients over 40 were being admitted daily due to severe heart vessel narrowing. Heart attacks and This unsettling trend struck a chord with thousands. One Guangdong netizen claimed, I'm a post-90s. Out of the 40 students in my class, more than 20 have passed away. Another shared, my cousin, born in 1991, died suddenly just days before May Day. He was strong, healthy, then gone in an instant. A netizen from Shandong said, My former boss died of liver cancer at just 39. He was only one year older than me. Others noted that not just the post-90s, but also those born in the 70s and 60s, are dying in alarming numbers. Zhejiang and Hubei residents chimed in, two classmates born in 1994 passed away. One in five of my classmates from the post-90s era is gone. In Fujian and Jiangxi, the reports grew even darker. This month alone, the manager's husband, a colleague's brother, all gone, all in their 30s or 40s. One person lamented, I now wake up every few days to the sound of a Suona funeral horn. I'm starting to get used to it. From Jiangsu, one post read, some of my post-90s classmates are already dead or seriously ill. One died at 37. I've stopped worrying. I just try to live happily while I can. A netizen from Anhui shared a chilling story. I'm now in my late 80s. 11 of my former classmates have already passed away. He went on to reveal something even more unsettling. I once invested in a small rural clinic. It only cost me about 50,000 monyuan. But this summer, many elderly people in the nearby area began dying suddenly, one after another. It happened so frequently that I became frightened. These days, I don't even dare to step into that clinic anymore. Behind these personal stories lies a bigger, darker issue. The virus never left, but no one is allowed to say it. Doctors across China are warning in hushed tones that the pandemic never really ended. Officially, the term COVID-19 has become politically sensitive. One mainland doctor told overseas media in June that although the outbreak continues to resurface, the authorities strictly forbid any public reference to the new coronavirus. The messaging is no longer based on science or health data. It's dictated by politics. In Zhuzhou, Hunan, traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Yang broke the silence. This virus keeps coming back. To me, it never stopped at all. I see patients every day. Many have tried Western medicine, and it failed. Then they come to me, take herbal treatments, and finally improve. But there's a catch. Even if people die from the virus, we are not allowed to say so. The cause must be something else. I estimate that a billion people in China have been infected already, and this virus may have silently claimed the lives of hundreds of millions. While these statements may sound exaggerated, China's own health data raises serious questions. On July 5th, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention released its official report on infectious diseases for June. Over 605,000 cases of class B infectious diseases and 2,311 related deaths. The illness with the highest case count? New coronavirus infection. Yes, the one nobody is supposed to talk about. But COVID isn't the only threat. A new outbreak of chikungunya fever has emerged in Foshan, Guangdong, and already spread to nearby Macau. Online discussions about the outbreak are quickly deleted or blocked, fueling speculation that the Chinese Communist Party is once again suppressing epidemic-related information. To the outside world, it's becoming increasingly clear. China may be facing a silent public health emergency, one that's wrapped not only in viral mutations, but in censorship, fear, and political manipulation. Why are cases of sudden death happening at increasingly younger ages? Why are so many people in their prime just starting their adult lives, suddenly passing away without warning? What's really going on? A funeral worker recently opened up about what he's been witnessing behind the scenes, and the truth is deeply unsettling. He said that in recent years, the number of deaths among people born in the 1980s and 1990s has risen sharply. These are people who should still be full of energy and future plans, but they're gone just like that. You might wonder, why are we revisiting this topic now? Because not long ago, yet another young person suddenly passed away. One minute he was fine, laughing, talking, living life as usual, and the next minute he was gone. No warning, no time to react. The funeral worker said that out of curiosity and concern, he went back and reviewed their internal records. We keep detailed notes on every case, he explained, and when I looked, I was shocked. A surprising number of our recent cases were people born in the 1980s and 1990s. He paused, as if still trying to process it himself. I don't know why this is happening, he said quietly, but something is clearly not right. Doctor reveals shocking secret about the outbreak in mainland China, hospitals overwhelmed in many regions. The COVID-19 outbreak in China continues to escalate, forcing many schools to close and overwhelming hospitals. Doctors report that this wave is particularly severe, with numerous deaths, and even some physicians suddenly collapsing and dying while on duty. Dr. Chen Yang, a traditional Chinese medicine expert in Zhuzhou, Hunan province, stated that the virus has surged again and believes it never truly went away. According to reports from Guangdong and Shaanxi provinces, many schools have temporarily shut down or required students to quarantine at home. In Guangdong's Futian district, authorities have warned of a rising risk of fever outbreaks in schools and kindergartens. Teachers are instructed to check students' health twice daily. And those who test positive for the virus can only return after a negative test result or a seven-day quarantine. Dr. Kang Hong, who works at a clinic in Guangzhou, revealed that a new wave of infections has recently emerged, affecting many people. He said, I usually don't wear a mask, but now I have to. Elderly people are vulnerable to pneumonia, and some don't make it. Recently, a number of doctors in Shanghai, Yunnan, Hunan, and other provinces have died suddenly, ranging in age from 37 to 64. Dr. Chen Yang estimates that at least hundreds of millions of people have died from the virus. However, he says hospitals are not allowed to report COVID-19 deaths, and many patients avoid testing to prevent public panic. Monitoring is conducted at top-tier hospitals by designated checkpoints, with the costs covered by the government, making it difficult to publish accurate and transparent data. China's economy is teetering on the brink of collapse, and the Chinese Communist Party, CCP, is utterly powerless to reverse the situation. American political and economic expert James Gorey, author of The China Crisis, asserts that China's economy is rapidly approaching a breaking point, while the CCP has no real ability to change course. In an article published by The Epoch Times, he argues that the Chinese economy is now in a life-or-death state, simultaneously hit by severe macroeconomic pressures, prolonged deflation, a depreciating yuan, weak consumer demand, and a declining population, core problems that can no longer be masked by official statistics. Neither state-released figures nor CCP leaders' public statements can conceal the depth of this economic decline, nor can it be resolved through authoritarian decrees. China's GDP growth rate, once touted by the CCP and many global economists as proof of the viability of state capitalism, has in fact been manipulated for at least the past decade. While Europe and the United States struggle to achieve 2% growth, Beijing has consistently reported around 5% GDP growth, including in Q1 of 2025, a figure widely considered unrealistic. The real estate sector, which accounts for as much as 30% of China's economy, continues to collapse, with housing prices falling for 22 consecutive months. Meanwhile, Europe, China's second-largest trading partner, is facing economic stagnation, and trade with the United States, its largest export market, has plummeted from 21.6% of total U.S. imports in 2018 to just 13.4% in 2024. The looming threat of new tariffs could further exacerbate the situation. In an export-dependent economy, if both major trade partners are weakening, where will the growth come from? This question has puzzled researchers at the University of Chicago, who estimate that China's real GDP could be as much as 60% lower than official figures suggest. Statistics on unemployment, wages, and even population numbers are all considered unreliable. The glossy image Beijing has constructed over decades is not only eroding but shattering under an economic system driven by political loyalty rather than market forces. Data manipulation has become normalized, forming a pillar of the CCP's political legitimacy. Beyond corruption, theft, and falsified statistics, four major macroeconomic forces are dragging China into an abyss. Deflation, currency depreciation, weak demand, and population decline. These factors are interrelated and often amplify each other's effects. For instance, the collapse of the real estate sector is a key driver of falling prices, but not the only one. Worker strikes over unpaid wages have sharply reduced disposable income, weakening domestic consumption. Combined with overproduction, the gap between supply and demand is widening. As these conditions persist, consumer sentiment grows anxious and pessimistic, and even government stimulus efforts have failed to revive spending. Deflation typically increases the relative value of money, but the policies of the People's Bank of China have instead caused the Yuan to depreciate, making it harder for people to afford goods. Even as prices are falling, overproduction in both industry and real estate is driving prices down, squeezing corporate profits and depressing wages. With falling prices, a weakening currency, and vanishing business profits, how much longer can Chinese consumers endure? And how much longer can CCP policymakers continue to deny this reality? Data manipulation is so rampant that even population statistics are distorted. Some provinces have inflated their population figures in order to receive more central government funding for education, pensions, and social welfare. Some estimates now suggest that China's actual population may be below 1.3 billion, or even lower. Regardless of the precise number, the truth is clear. China's population is rapidly shrinking, and the trend is irreversible, despite state incentives to encourage childbirth. Cultural factors, such as an aging population, reluctance among young women to have children, low incomes, declining marriage rates, a shrinking number of women of childbearing age, and near-zero immigration have rendered Beijing's efforts futile. As the consumer base contracts under the weight of an aging society and a shrinking labor force, how can household consumption possibly grow? Amid falling wages, high unemployment, currency devaluation, and an accelerating demographic decline, China's domestic market is becoming increasingly fragile, with an ever-darker outlook. The CCP has no viable solution to stimulate consumption or income. Foreign investors and businesses are pulling out of China at an unprecedented scale, and this trend is likely to continue. Although the CCP is tightening its grip on the economy more than ever before, it lacks any effective answers. China's economic collapse is no longer a hypothesis. It is a full-blown, irreversible, and deeply dangerous reality.
