Liu Yiqian, a billionaire who lives in Shanghai, lamented that life is “humiliating” two months into the lockdown due to the Chinese regime’s harsh “zero-COVID” policy. His viral post on May 22 on Chinese social media platform WeChat was accompanied by a photo of himself, messy-haired, unshaven, and wearing what appeared to be an oversized v-neck T-shirt.
