The late Dr. Li Wenliang. If the Chinese government had taken his information about the coronavirus seriously, it would have saved thousands of lives around the globe
When the new coronavirus epidemic began to germinate, the
ophthalmologist Li Wenliang who was in Wuhan began to warn his peers, but he
was warned by the police for spreading false
information.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, the rumors spread by Li Wenliang became a true reminder of the epidemic prevention and the people also praised the whistleblower who was brave to release information. However, Li Wenliang, unfortunately, was hospitalized with a new coronavirus a few days ago, and eventually passed away.

With the outbreak of new coronavirus in China in 2020,
according to the latest data released by the 'worldometer,' an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers providing global data on the coronavirus, there are currently 81,708 confirmed cases in the local
area, with a total of 3,331 deaths.
On the same day, Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at the
Wuhan Central Hospital, who revealed the coming of the pandemic to draw everyone's attention to the new coronavirus, he died of
serious illness at the age of 34.
Back on December 30 last year, Dr. Li Wenliang, who was
serving in Wuhan Central Hospital, suspected
SARS coronavirus response in a patient. He warned the university
students who are also doctors to wear protective clothing to avoid infection when attending to such patients.
On January 3, the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau
interviewed Li Wenliang, condemning him for making untrue statements on the internet, causing public panic, and asking him to sign the discipline
book, which read:
"We hope you calm down and reflect on it and solemnly warn you: If you are stubborn, do not repent, and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! Do you understand? "
"We hope you calm down and reflect on it and solemnly warn you: If you are stubborn, do not repent, and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! Do you understand? "
Li Wenliang wrote the word 'understand' underneath
and fingerprinted it. In addition, seven netizens and Li Wenliang suffered
similarly. They were all warned by the authorities for sharing their
observations of the new coronavirus on the internet.
These eight People are now called "Wuhan Eight Gentlemen" by netizens. On January 10, Li Wenliang's body began to develop a condition. He began to cough and on January 11, he developed fever symptoms.
On January 12, he was admitted to the hospital, diagnosed with coronavirus pneumonia. His parents have also had the symptoms.

If the authorities announce the information earlier
Li Wenliang recalled that when he was treating a glaucoma
patient, he was infected by the patient. At that time, he did not know that the
patient was infected with the new coronavirus, and he did not know that the
epidemic would break out.
"If government officials had released relevant information earlier, I think the situation will be much better, and the government
should be more open and transparent," Li Wenliang said in an interview
with The New York Times during his lifetime.
He also announced details of the government's request for silence while he was hospitalized, and helped the media restore and piece together the time when the government failed to start the epidemic prevention operation as early as possible.

After the outbreak, Li Wenliang became a well-known figure in China, because of his prophetic warning which was initially ignored.
Subsequently, the mayor of Wuhan, Zhou Xianwang, admitted on the television that the epidemic prevention information was not immediately shared with the public, but this was because national laws prohibited him from exposing it early.
Such an explanation could not extinguish the public's anger at the authorities' attempt to cover up the information and crackdown on the whistleblower.
Following this grave error or 'crime,' the Communist Party ’s Supreme People's Court issued a long article condemning the Wuhan police for taking action against a piece of true significant information so quickly, without investigation.

Finally, the Wuhan police apologized to Li Wenliang and the seven others who had been accused of disseminating false
information.
However, neither the authorities' apology and epidemic prevention measures can effectively prevent the angry and destructive coronavirus from global attack nor bringing Wenliang back to life.
