A video of loud midnight protests at college dorm buildings in China’s northwestern Xi’an city recently went viral on Chinese social media.

On Sept. 20, at around 11:30 p.m., students at the Xi’an International Studies University (XISU) who were under COVID-19 lockdown broke out into half an hour of screaming and shouting. They angrily exclaimed, “No more lockdown!” from their dorm windows.
