They told The Epoch Times that recently more young and middle-aged people around them have died suddenly.
Residents in different regions of mainland China have reported to The Epoch Times recently that sudden deaths appear to be increasing.
A resident in Dalian city of Liaoning Province in northeast China said based on his observation, the recent death rate is apparently higher than the death rate during the period from December 2022 to early 2023, when the Chinese communist regime lifted all pandemic control measures after nearly three years of draconian restrictions and lockdowns accompanied by a massive wave of COVID-19 infections and deaths across the country.
Mr. Wang, who declined to provide his full name for safety concerns, told The Epoch Times on April 13 that many people in their 20s to 50s suddenly died. At least two of his relatives have died, he said.
“Four or five of my colleagues have passed away. Those who were vaccinated against COVID-19 suffered more serious conditions. Many of my colleagues’ relatives have also passed away, and they have had to take time off from work to attend the funerals,” Wang said.
Mr. Cao from Huadian City in Jilin Province, who didn’t reveal his first name for safety concerns, also told The Epoch Times that many young and middle-aged people he knew have died, one after another.
He said that on April 2, a friend of his in Dongying, Shandong Province in eastern China, died without any warning signs.
“He went to bed at night, and his body was cold the next morning. He was only 53 years old,” Cao said.
Another person he knew was a truck driver who died more than a month ago at the age of 56.
Cao said that the younger brother of a man in his village suddenly collapsed and died during work. He was 37 or 38 years old.
“The funeral homes have the best business” in recent years, Cao said, because of the sudden deaths.
Mr. Su, a resident of Siping city in Jilin Province in northeast China who only provided his last name for safety reasons, told The Epoch Times that many people died unexpectedly this winter. He said they are of all ages, with the majority in their 50s.
