Recently, the Hubei Provincial Government of the Communist Party of China, with the assistance of organizations responsible for non-governmental diplomacy, organized a delegation of 20 multinational companies to visit Wuhan. The state media took this opportunity to launch public relations and publicity, portraying Wuhan as a "heroic city reborn from the ashes". Some French media pointed out that the CCP is trying to rewrite the history of the Wuhan epidemic by "turning tragedy into pride and pain into joy", and smearing the Chinese authorities, but the people in Wuhan are unforgettable sadness.

Recently, in order to showcase the so-called "epidemic prevention and control" and the results of the resumption of production by the Chinese Communist government, and to promote economic cooperation between multinational companies and Hubei Province, the Hubei Provincial Government of the Chinese Communist Party and the "Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries" responsible for non-governmental diplomacy jointly organized An event for multinational companies to visit Wuhan.

On September 4, local time, 40 business representatives from 20 companies including Panasonic, Thales, Dow, Nokia, Swire Group, Citibank, BHP Billiton, Amway, etc. started the trip to Wuhan. The authorities also invited foreign media reporters to cover the trip.

During the three-day itinerary, the representatives of the invited multinational groups, led by the Chinese leader Lin Songtian, visited Wuhan Optics Valley Biological City, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Tongji Hospital Optics Valley Campus, and YOFC Optical Fiber and Cable Co., Ltd., the original site of Wuhan square cabin hospital, and a food market known as the "Model of Disinfection". They also watched traditional repertoires performed by elementary school students, and boarded the yacht in the river to enjoy the sight of the lights on the opposite bank. During the period, they also organized an event. The forum led representatives to praise Wuhan and Hubei.

Lin Songtian, who is in charge of the reception on the Chinese side, declared to the representatives of these multinational groups, “There are not many places in the world today that do not wear masks and are able to assemble. This proves that Wuhan has defeated the virus and everything is functioning normally.”

The Chinese Communist Party’s official media took the opportunity to praise how Wuhan “successfully contained the epidemic” and was “reborn from the fire” under the leadership of the Chinese Communist government. At the same time, they did not forget to take the opportunity to ridicule American students who are still wearing masks on campus.

However, this time-consuming hype by the Chinese Communist Party has aroused the resentment of the French media. RFI issued an article criticizing the Chinese Communist authorities, “turning tragedy into pride, turning pain into joy, portraying Wuhan as a heroic city affected by SARS-CoV-2, and at the same time continuing to set up doubts about the source of the novel coronavirus."

The Agence France-Presse report pointed out that the CCP is launching a public relations campaign to praise Wuhan through official media and praise the CCP government for successfully controlling the epidemic. This shows that in the context of the distrust of the international community, the Chinese Communist government hopes to take the initiative and use their propaganda methods to change the narrative of the Wuhan epidemic.

In response to an article published by the Chinese Communist Party’s official media that “1.4 million students in Wuhan stunned the Americans by resuming classes”, the AFP report said with emotion, " The official rewritten story of the Chinese Communist Party is that a seafood market in Wuhan was once suspected of being the source of the covid epidemic. The incident was "completely ignored", and even the Chinese (CCP) Foreign Minister Wang Yi also hinted in Norway that the CCP virus did not originate from China when he visited Europe on August 28.

When the Wuhan epidemic first broke out, the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to conceal the truth and allow the virus to spread to the world drew criticism from all over the world. In addition, the Chinese Communist Party’s government abandoned its “One Country, Two Systems” promise, stepped up control of Hong Kong, and took a war on foreign affairs. The wolf's posture has led to more and more criticism of the Chinese Communist government.

In response, Agence France-Presse quoted some analysts who pointed out that the CCP authorities are now aware that the CCP's virus epidemic has greatly damaged the CCP government’s international "image", and therefore, the CCP is relatively quiet in the domestic epidemic situation. It insists using its propaganda methods to make this matter more beneficial to the party.

The report also quoted the analysis of Kelsey Broderick from the Eurasian Group and pointed out that the narrative that the CCP wants is, "We have controlled the epidemic, and we are helping you to control the epidemic." The CCP also hopes to be the first to produce an effective vaccine. This is one of the most important measures taken by the CCP to erase the memory of the outbreak of the Wuhan epidemic that detonated the global crisis.

Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported that although the Chinese Communist Party’s official media hyped that Wuhan’s students have returned to school and the students were also very excited, Wuhan  primary school teacher "A Kun" in an interview with the media said that the Chinese Communist Party  government suppressed many negative news about the epidemic, and only publicized the so-called "high-end" and "positive energy" news, but in fact, a normal society also needs personal memories like "Fang Fang's Diary".

The “Fang Fang’s Diary” written by Wuhan female writer Fang Fang truly records the distress and sorrow experienced by the citizens of Wuhan during the lockdown period after the large-scale outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan. By the time the CCP’s cyber navy was besieged by public opinion she was even threatened death.

Regarding the distorted propaganda of the official media, Fang Fang once commented, “What you see in the media is as if people in Wuhan had a more grand festival than ever before, rather than a disaster. Perhaps in fact, The inner depression of countless people in Wuhan. None of the experts who said to the people of Wuhan that “man-to-people transmission is controllable and preventable” apologized to the people of Wuhan, let alone confessed to them. Neither the official nor the media have reflected on it, and no one mentioned it. Responsibility. Those who died unfortunately are pitiful, and we who are alive are pitiful." When the Mid-Year Festival came on 2 September, Fang Fang posted that at this time, "Across the screen, you can feel the sadness of Wuhan. "

When the Chinese Communist Party’s official media promoted Wuhan’s “heroic deeds”, they were too sensational and too joyful, deliberately ignoring people’s suffering, which not only aroused the resentment of foreign media, but also aroused public opinion backlash from Chinese netizens. Netizens left comments and reprimanded, "I wrote the tragic song into a hymn for life. Can anyone still remember the dead soul?" "Who was repeating the lie of'preventable and controllable, and not spread from one to another'?" "Okay, forget the pain of the scar, it is self-deception! I hate singing, there must be a lesson!"
