Beijing [China], November 1 (ANI): Bappi Lahiri’s hit song “Jimmy, Jimmy” via Mithun star Chakraborty’s “Disco Dancer” has become a new anthem for other people in China to protest Covid lockdowns. Several videos have gone viral on TikTok and other social media platforms where other Chinese are seen facing lockdowns employing Bappi Da’s song to express their anger and frustration over the country’s strict zero COVID policy. Composed by Lahiri and sung by Parvati Khan, the hit song in China is recreated in Mandarin ” Jie mi, jie mi “, which translates to ” Give me rice, give me rice “. In the videos, people are seen showing up with empty boxes to hint at how they are at a disadvantage with essential food closures. This can be interpreted as a call by others to the government to lift its severe restrictions.

Last month, the country’s ruling Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping, signaled there would be no relaxation in the zero-covid policy and called it a “people’s war to prevent the spread of the virus. “Across the country, around two hundred lockdowns have been implemented in recent days, most affecting communities that have been marked as high or medium risk. Residents of other spaces are subject to other rules, depending on whether they are in a low, medium, or high-risk area. Visuals shared online imply that staff at Apple’s largest gathering in Zhengzhou escaped the conveniences to escape the “zero-COVID” lockdown. (ANI)
