BEIJING - When an undergraduate, who goes by the online handle Carena Fino, found out about the sudden demonstrations in Shanghai last Friday night, she knew she wanted to be a part of it and joined in the next day.
“I regret that I found out about the demonstrations too late,” said Carena, 19, who took to the streets in Shanghai last Saturday to protest against China’s Covid-19 policies. “Enough is enough, too many lives have been lost,” she told The Straits Times on Monday.
