On the eve of the September 3rd military parade of the Chinese Communist Party, unusual phenomena were reported in various areas of Sichuan. In Chengdu and Deyang, rare and eerie cloud formations appeared, while in Mianzhu City, thousands of birds were seen flying together in the night sky, causing astonishment among the residents who exclaimed, “It’s terrifying!”
Videos circulated on Chinese social media platforms showing on August 31st evening, an abnormal amount of birds gathered in Sanxing Street at the central square of Mianzhu, creating a densely blackened sky.
A woman filming the scene exclaimed, “Oh my goodness, what’s going on here?”
On the night of September 1st, a large number of birds were still seen in the sky above Mianzhu’s central square. A resident captured a video saying, “Oh, these birds are scary to look at.”
The continuous presence of an unusually high number of birds in Mianzhu attracted attention, with netizens questioning, “What kind of birds are these? So many of them.”
“Chaotic flight of birds, something must be about to happen.” “Stay safe.”
Some netizens issued warnings, suggesting that the abnormal phenomenon of thousands of birds flying together could be a precursor to an imminent earthquake. One user shared, “My grandmother said that during the earthquake in 2008, the situation was similar in the afternoon of that day.”
“Warning signs before a major earthquake.”
“Is an earthquake coming? Just heard someone saying Sichuan should be cautious about earthquakes, better wear clothes while sleeping at night.”
“Earthquake cloud has appeared over Deyang, Sichuan. Safety precautions within the week.”
“Hurry, run, natural disaster alert.”
Another video was posted showing around 6 PM on August 29th, eerie cloud formations in the skies of Chengdu and Deyang in Sichuan, resembling grooves, appearing exceptionally bizarre.
A commenter mentioned, “During the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, we had similar clouds in Tianjin, the entire sky was filled with ladder-like clouds.”
A netizen from Chongqing stated, “After work today (August 29th), I went fishing at an old fishing spot! Bubbles kept bubbling up from the water! Many bubbles, very dense! This wasn’t there before! Initially, I thought there were a lot of fish below but the catch was similar to before.”
In Chengdu, a netizen captured an eerie cloud in the direction of Deyang, suspecting it to be an earthquake cloud, asking, “Could this be an earthquake cloud?”
Notably, on the night of August 29th, slogans against the Chinese Communist Party appeared on the external walls of a building in Chongqing University City, stating “Overthrow the tyranny of the Communist Party, Without the Communist Party, there is a new China,” sparking attention.
Around 10 PM that night, a large projection appeared on the external wall of a building on Xijie Street in Chongqing University City, with messages like “Without the Communist Party, there is a new China, freedom is not a gift but something to be taken back,” “Rise up, those who refuse to be slaves, rise up to fight back and reclaim your rights,” “Down with the red fascism, Overthrow the tyranny of the Communist Party,” “No more lies, only truth, no enslavement but freedom, the Communist Party must step down,” lasting for over 50 minutes, until the local police found the projection equipment in a hotel room.
The individual responsible for the anti-Communist projection event later confirmed their safety on social media, revealing they and their family were currently in the UK, and the projection was conducted through remote control, aiming to awaken more Chinese people to resist the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party.
