China Weibo Ludougao said she was expelled from a motel in Changsha, Hunan Province for being a Wuhan.

Ludougao left Wuhan in Hubei province on January 20, three days before the government ordered a blockade because of a new strain of pneumonia virus (nCoV). In a Weibo post, Ludougao said Wuhan tourists like her are now not welcome in Hunan province.

"I only know how to get help here because I'm in the dead," Ludougao wrote on Weibo on January 26.

She went to the station and discovered that there was no train back to Wuhan. She contacted the police and was asked to go to a homeless shelter. She called the mayor of Wuhan but was in vain. She even went to the hospital to get a health certificate, but no hotel agreed to let her stay. She contacted more than 10 hotels and motels but was rejected.

"I don't understand it. Even if all of us Wuhan are 'corpses,' am I not allowed to stay indoors to prevent the spread of the disease? Now I'm kicked out and don't know where to go." , Ludougao wrote.

Although deleted later, Ludougao's post spread so quickly on the Internet that it caught the content censors in Changsha paying attention and information about her case to the city government. As a result, Ludougao was admitted to a hotel on the evening of January 26.

When a CNN correspondent contacted, Ludougao said he had published the article and was contacted by the authorities but declined to comment further. However, Ludougao was not the only one in such a difficult situation. In Yunnan Province, many Hubei tourists who were unable to find accommodation had contacted local authorities for help. The Yunnan Provincial Tourism and Cultural Office asked the cities on Monday to arrange at least one hotel for Hubei tourists.

Governments in many other provinces and cities in China such as Guangdong and Guangxi also quickly book hotels for tourists from Wuhan and elsewhere in Hubei Province. The Wuhan Tourism and Culture Office has listed hotels designated for city residents across China, but it is unclear how many visitors know the information.

Not only tourists, many local authorities are also very wary of people returning from Wuhan during the Chinese New Year. In several cities, such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, residential committees are assigned to individual homes seeking new arrivals from Wuhan and reporting information to the authorities.

Eric Chen, 33, from Jingzhou City in Hubei Province, who lives and works in the coastal city of Zhejiang, said residents were so alert that they alerted police when they discovered a car with a license plate. Wuhan.

"It turned out that the owner of the car was not Wuhan. He registered the Wuhan license plate just because it was easier in Hangzhou, where the license plate was issued by lottery drawing," Chen said.

A number of rural villages have set up guards to stop the Wuhan people. Photos posted online show many roads blocked by trucks, excavators, rocks or trees and even digging roads to prevent strangers from entering the village. The situation is so common that China's Ministry of Transport on January 29 warned people not to arbitrarily block illegal roads causing traffic congestion.

Other places also appear to have extreme isolation measures for people returning to Wuhan, such as sealing houses with banners, wooden sticks or metal rods, according to videos circulated online. In a video, a red notice is posted next to the door of the apartment: "This is a return home from Wuhan, please do not contact them." The door, where the Chinese New Year was still confronted, was stopped by some men wearing masks using iron bars. CNN correspondent currently cannot verify this video and its location.

The indignation and discrimination against the Wuhan people caught the attention of People's Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party. In an article posted on its mobile app on January 27, the People's Daily acknowledged the abusive behavior targeting people from Wuhan and Hubei province online. At the same time, many local governments have taken control measures to prevent Wuhan people from entering their territory or residing in hotels in the area. Wuhan authorities estimate that about 5 million people left the city during the Chinese New Year before a blockade on January 23.

"The vast majority of the 5 million people who leave Wuhan do not intentionally" flee "and not all carry the virus. No matter where they are, we should not be prejudiced or treat them coldly. victims of this outbreak, more than anyone, they want to eliminate the epidemic, yearning for security, security and care. What they need at this point is understanding, not understanding. wrong view, "according to the article in People's Daily.

"Many of my friends left Wuhan without knowing about this serious epidemic," April Pin, one of the millions of people currently in Wuhan, wrote a letter calling for the Chinese people to be tolerant of such people. Pin said, "many comments on the Internet lash out and insult the Wuhan people. I find that wrong."
