As rumours of a strange new illness in Wuhan spread via social media in China, 25-year-old citizen reporter Kcriss decides to travel to the epicentre of the disaster to try to find out what is really going on. He sees an ad for corpse carriers at a funeral home – Male or female, 16-50 years old, unafraid of ghosts - and decides to apply. He quickly realises that the official death figures bear no relation to what is happening in the local crematoria.

For more than seven years, Liao Yiwu - a master of contemporary Chinese literature, imprisoned and persecuted as a counterrevolutionary until he fled the country in 2011 - secretly interviewed survivors of the devastating 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Tortured, imprisoned, and forced into silence and the margins of Chinese society for 30 years, their harrowing stories are now finally revealed in this gripping and masterful work of investigative journalism.

Gleich nach dem Ausbruch der Corona-Epidemie reist der Bürgerjournalist Li in das Epizentrum der Katastrophe.

Doch der kurze Augenblick, in dem er glaubt, die Wahrheit sagen zu dürfen, vergeht über Nacht: Er wird entdeckt, verfolgt und dokumentiert im Internet live, wie er brutal verhaftet wird.
