嘘 The Whistle Song（2020）

2020年2月8日-2020年2月12日，我在微信好友中征集吹口哨的视频，要求为“手机横屏拍摄，只露下半张脸”，共征集来37条参与者“自由创作”的素材，剪辑完成了这一影像作品。

这件作品与武汉市中心医院的眼科医生李文亮有关。他是在中国2019新型冠状病毒疫情中率先向外界披露疫情的医疗人员之一。2020年1月3日辖区派出所因其“在互联网上发布不实言论”提出警示和训诫李文亮被舆论广泛关注，并被解读为8名“造谣”者（武汉造谣八君子）中的一人。事件后他仍持续在第一线工作，于1月10日左右出现症状，因为病情严重进入加护病房观察，2月1日确诊为新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎。2月7日凌晨2时58分病逝，享年33岁。在去世之后，李文亮被官方媒体改称为“疫情吹哨人”。

The Whistle Song is made during the 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.  Because of the virus, everything in my country is at pause. All the citizens have no choice but to stay at home to protect themselves from the virus. I’m no exception.

From 8th Feb to 12th Feb 2020, I collected 37 free-style whistling videos from my WeChat (Chinese social media) friends which only recorded the participants’ mouths and edited this piece. 

This is a piece relates to Li Wenliang (12 October 1986 – 7 February 2020), a Chinese ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital who warned about COVID-19 on 30 December 2019 on WeChat to fellow colleagues. On 3 January 2020, Wuhan police summoned and admonished him for "making false comments on the Internet". Li returned to work, later contracting the virus from an infected patient and dying from the disease on 7 February 2020. After his death, the public media changed its tone and memorized him as the whistleblower in this plague.
