In the past two days, many people have seen a video on the home page of station B, and the black and white cover says "Goodbye Friends". Click in, tens of thousands of bullet screens in Russian and Chinese, covering the screen, people saying "all the way", on the cover is a foreign uncle named Pavlov.
For netizens who like to watch food videos, the uncle is not a stranger.
Uncle Pavlov is a B station up master, he will send out every few days with the appetizer to drink and drink his own "eating broadcast". Four years ago, Uncle Uncle began to post videos on YouTube, which were shared by Chinese netizens on domestic video platforms.
In May last year, the uncle learned that he had a lot of Chinese fans, happily became a B station up master, and also learned a few words Chinese greeting distant Chinese friends, attracting nearly 180,000 Chinese fans.
Unlike some food bloggers who either rely on hunting for food to attract attention or gobble up their mouths, Pavlov only opened his own channel because he liked to drink, and each of his videos is simple, that is, after work, he sits at the table and introduces today's appetizers, and toasts with the audience.
Sometimes he eats rose's most traditional home-cooked dishes, red cabbage soup, caviar and cheese, Russian pilaf, freshly grilled potatoes and fish salad. When you're not drinking, you can see the authentic gervas or Russian tea he prepares.
Sometimes he also makes a big meal in the courtyard of the house, grilling a large pork knuckle in the Russian way, eating a fist-sized kebab, and preparing some dried fish necessary for Russian beer.
But sometimes there are no dishes at home, and he can wash a lemon or apple to make a wine dish. There was nothing to eat at home, but he was still very happy to pour wine and touch glasses with the audience. Whether it is eating or drinking, it reveals boldness and simple happiness.
Many people say that watching him eat and drink quietly is a very relaxing thing, and every time I can know a lot of Russian civilian food that I have never heard of, and I have learned the habit of blowing a breath before drinking spirits. Some netizens who have been tortured by work for a day will also put a little wine and dishes themselves, and toast with the uncle, as if with the company of the uncle, life will be easier.
The Russian custom is also to say a toast when touching a glass, and although the uncle's video is very simple, he will not forget this link every time. Even if you drink half a bottle of vodka, every glass of wine will be filled with blessings.
Sometimes he would honor his friends, sometimes he would pay homage to the martyrs of the Great Patriotic War, and on New Year's Day he wished everyone money, and he would celebrate the good deeds of everyone in his life. In a video not long ago, he also raised a toast to this summer, making the video a little more poetic. From these small bits, you can feel his love and optimism for life.
Of course, his favorite greeting is "I wish you good health", which he says many times a month. In the past few weeks, some netizens have found that the uncle's update speed is a bit slow. Yesterday finally waited for the update, who knows but it is the last video of the uncle.
Click on the dynamic area to know that Uncle Pavlov, who was still drinking with everyone not long ago, was unfortunately infected with the new crown, and soon died of ineffective medical treatment a few days ago.
Chinese netizens saw the news and said they couldn't accept it, and everything came too suddenly.
Looking back at the videos before the uncle's death, it is even more uncomfortable. On October 10, the account released the video of the uncle eating for the last time, in which a very small number of uncles did not drink, nor did they talk much, but just ate bread and drank tea.
At that time, some netizens felt strange, and now they reacted, maybe when shooting the video, they were already sick and couldn't drink or talk a lot.
In the video comment section of Uncle's last drink on October 6. Netizens have sighed, who knows this is the last meal of wine.
The audience knows that Pavlov has ankylosing spondylitis, the neck can not be rotated, so every time he drinks is the whole body back, some friends like to call him "stiff neck big brother". But in fact, ankylosing spondylitis is an immune disease, and when encountering the new crown, patients with immune diseases are more likely to be infected and more likely to fail after vaccination.
Only before this, although netizens knew that long-term drinking would be detrimental to his health, at most he was prepared for alcohol poisoning or other diseases many years later. Who knew it was the new crown that took his life.
In order to commemorate the uncle, the people around him made the last video for him, putting the essence of his hundreds of videos in just 4 minutes. And the barrage was filled with Russian words such as "I hope you rest in peace" and "Miss Uncle Pavlov" and his most classic phrase "I wish you good health."
In the commemorative video, when Pavlov toasted to the audience, a bullet screen read: This cup of toast Pavlov, may the uncle rest in peace.
What is even more poignant is that due to the poor information between China and Russia, most people do not know that as early as October 4, the uncle's relatives announced his death on YouTube. That is to say, when everyone happily touched glasses with the uncle in the last two videos and interacted with the bullet screen, he had died of illness.
He had more detailed things going on on his Tubing. At first, it was only diagnosed with ordinary pneumonia, but unexpectedly infected with the new crown, and the treatment was ineffective.
The uncle was very miserable when he had just suffered from pneumonia, and had not slept or eaten for four days, and he wrote himself on the Tubing: "My health is close to collapse, and for the first time I have encountered such a serious situation. He stayed in the hospital for 9 days and has been taking oxygen, who knows that after getting better and discharged from the hospital, he was infected with the new crown and never came back.
Pavlov, who always wished everyone good health, ultimately failed to withstand the surging COVID-19 epidemic in Russia. In the commemorative video, the wine glass he raises again and again becomes the past.
The end of the video, like every video he made before his death, uses a witty scene from a former Soviet film in which a little boy shouts at the screen, "Little cub, what are you doing here?" It's over. ”
In the past, netizens always regarded this as a small Easter egg for the uncle to tease the audience, but this time the same ending is no longer funny, because we know that after this sentence, there will be no next video. It's over, it's really over.
In the comment area, Chinese netizens recalled these days when they entered the video of Uncle Pit, thanking the uncle for bringing them relaxing and pleasant memories.
This is also the first time that many people have encountered the death of their favorite up owner due to the new crown, before many people have forgotten how cruel the new crown is and how turbulent the epidemic in other parts of the world is.
Even though almost no one in the 180,000 fans has actually seen Pavlov, the grief brought about by his infection and death because of the Internet is very close to us.
Pavlov's death did not make much waves in his native Russia, where the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases has hit a new high this week — 32,835.
The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in October increased by 70% compared to the previous month, with the number of deaths almost averaging 1,000 per day, and the total number of deaths reaching the highest in Europe. Pavlov was only one in ten thousandths, one in a thousandth.
The fourth wave of the epidemic, which is now affecting Russia, is even more rapid than the last, and such a disaster is inconceivable in a country as sparsely populated and with a small population density in Russia.
The most concentrated areas of cases in Russia are mainly in the more urbanized west and developed areas along the Pacific coast, but even In Siberia, where there are more bears than people, there is a rhythm of 150 infections per 100,000 people in the past week.
In the COVID-19 treatment area of a hospital, a 55-year-old patient about the same age as Uncle Pavlov had a stiff face, puffy face and a tube in his nose, he recorded a desperate message for the Russians: "My life has become a disaster, my body is extremely fragile, and it hurts my heart with a slight movement." ”
The head of a designated hospital in Moscow said the hospital was overloaded, ambulances were out 24 hours a day and the health minister had called on retired nurses and doctors to return to their posts to continue their work. Everything was like a year ago, things didn't get better.
Despite the increasing death toll, the Russian government has refused to impose lockdowns and stricter epidemic prevention, and large cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg are essentially living as usual. Out of distrust of the government and vaccine conspiracy theories, Russia, a country that developed vaccines very early, has only harvested a 29% full vaccination rate.
There are also many people who need to travel but are reluctant to get vaccinated, preferring to go to the black market to buy fake vaccination certificates. In 2021, some areas are still out of control, because it is very common for the epidemic to die. This is something we rarely realize in the relatively stable health security situation in the country.
For us, we should also remember that the new crown has not yet died, and it must not be taken lightly.
Finally, to quote Uncle Pavlov's favorite toast, I wish the world a healthy companion, and I salute you.
