A rare letter of dissent circulating online slams China’s government for failing to help film industry workers whose livelihoods have been shaken by prolonged coronavirus-imposed shutdowns. Written…

Written this weekend as China hit its 136th day since cinemas shuttered nationwide, the letter has spread within film industry circles despite being censored on some platforms.Cinema workers, from popcorn salespeople to projectionists, have been unable to work since January, with many laid off or retained on bare-bones salaries.

“While the waters can bear the boat forward, they can also sink it. You thought there would be no big waves if you left things alone and didn’t take care of them. But those that you consider to be lowly masses will not tolerate [this], because this should not be your attitude,” it says. “In the month since the State Council put out that announcement, what have you been doing?” the letter asked film industry officials and agencies.
