This is a picture uploaded by a Taiwanese netizen on a Chinese social platform: "Is this true?"
The screenshot is a live broadcast of a Taiwanese TV station. The title that appears on it is actually: "Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of " Global Times ", several hours after the infusion Died."
After this screenshot appeared on the social platform, it immediately aroused the indignation of many netizens: I didn't expect that the Taiwanese media has become so unscrupulous and has no bottom line and moral integrity at all. It actually faked that Hu Xijin died.
However, I soon discovered that this was actually an unlucky incident caused by misplaced subtitles.
1. The subtitles of Taiwan TV station were wrong. "Hu Xijin" and "Died" were put together. Netizens misunderstood
At that time, Taiwan TV station was playing Hu Xijin's introduction video, which was the famous "Hu Kan" column.
At this time, it happened to introduce the unfortunate death of a friend of Hu Xijin’s after a few hours of infusion. The subtitles appeared on the subtitles, “Died of treatment after a few hours of infusion.” The
result is placed together with the title subtitle of "Former Global Times Editor-in-Chief Hu Xijin", which makes people mistakenly think that Taiwan TV is reporting "Hu Xijin died of injuries".
Soon a local netizen posted a screenshot of it online, further expanding the influence of this incident.
Subsequently, many self-media bloggers posted this oolong news on their personal social accounts, further arousing everyone's attention.
Many netizens said, isn’t this Taiwanese media spreading rumors?
2. Facts: Hu Xijin is recovering from the new crown, and the number of daily posts has begun to increase
In fact, as the most famous media commentator on social platforms, Hu Xijin is recovering quickly from the new crown after having a fever for 8 consecutive days.
This can be seen from the increase in the number of posts he makes every day.
From December 19th to 22nd, due to the fact that the COVID-19 fever persisted, the fever often subsided in the morning and then had a fever in the afternoon. As a result, the number of Hu Xijin’s posts dropped from 3-4 posts per day to only 1 post per day.
Starting from the 22nd, Hu Xijin gradually restored his number of posts, and the scope of his comments expanded from the epidemic to the international hotspots he is best at.
Starting from the evening of the 23rd, Hu Xijin published 2 comment articles and 1 video in succession, showing that his creative ability is recovering from the new crown . In
’s latest video, in less than 40 minutes, more than 10,000 netizens left interactive comments, showing Hu Xijin’s strong influence as the most famous media commentator.
At this time, the Taiwanese media caused an oolong incident of "Hu Xijin's death" due to misplaced subtitles, which reflected the concern of netizens who hoped that this well-known media person would recover as soon as possible.
3. The Taiwan media often makes various outrageous "celebrity death" oolong incidents
Judging from the picture, this TV station quoted a "Hu Kan" column video of Hu Xijin when he was diagnosed with the new crown.
At that time, Hu Xijin introduced the unfortunate death of his friend on the screen: he died after several days of infusion.
As a result, due to an error in the subtitle setting, the two lines of subtitles "Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of the Global Times" and "died after several days of infusion" appeared on the TV screen at the same time, which led to the oolong incident of "Taiwanese media reporting the death of Hu Xijin".
In fact, this is not the first time that Taiwanese media has caused a similar "celebrity death" incident.
Previously, Taiwanese media spread rumors that patriotic artist Huang An died of COVID-19, causing Huang An to angrily refute the rumors on his personal social account.
4. Netizens left messages on the screen, hoping that Hu Xijin will recover as soon as possible.
Currently, under Hu Xijin’s latest post, the most common messages are those that hope he recovers as soon as possible.
A Shaanxi netizen left a message saying: "Lao Hu, are you feeling better today? I wish you peace!"
This message received likes from more than 170 netizens.
Another Guangdong netizen left a message saying: "I hope Lao Hu will recover soon and regain his fireworks as soon as possible."
also received likes from more than 20 netizens.
How do you evaluate the Taiwan media's own incident?
