Rare phenomenon: Sky turns blood red in China’s Zhoushan

The red sky that appeared in Zhoushan city of China’s east Zhejiang province was caused by the refraction and scattering of light, most likely from ship lights in the port, local media reported Sunday.

Over the weekend, residents of Zhoushan witnessed mysterious blood red skies, causing panic. Videos show the sky over the port city in crimson, largely owing to fog. The reports suggest that sky is perhaps the most red near the port areas.

Panic was palpable as people recorded the discolored horizon, stirring apocalyptic fears.

People recorded the skies turning crimson red, from their houses, balconies, and streets, Global Times reported.

The clips and photos of the phenomenon went viral with more than 150 million views on China’s Twitter-like social media, Weibo and Sina, Global Times reported. On Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, some users have called the phenomenon a “bad omen” due to how Chinese government is handling COVID-19 pandemic.

“I have never seen anything like this before. It really amazes me that the sky can even turn red,” a social media user said, as reported by Global Times.

“When weather conditions are good, more water in the atmosphere forms aerosols which refract and scatter the light of fishing boats and create the red sky seen by the public,” said reports referring to the meteorological bureau in Zhoushan.

If You See Someone With This Tattoo On Their Hand, Here’s What It Means

The meanings that various people attach to their tattoos and other body art can vary greatly. Certain places celebrate things that other places wouldn’t tolerate.

For instance, a sigil or symbol that has significant meaning in one location may appear to be a collection of haphazard squiggles in another.

It’s probably reasonable to assume that for as long as humans have existed, people have used their appearance to express themselves and transmit messages.

You most likely don’t live on an isolated island because tattoos are a common sight for most individuals. While certain designs, like those that tell stories or adhere to traditions, may be ridiculous and ones they wish they hadn’t purchased when they were younger, others may have profound, significant meanings.

I find it really interesting when I see the same tattoo on multiple people, even though you might not agree. To put it another way, I’m instantly curious about the meaning behind the tattoo and the reason the owner wants to live a lifetime with it on their body.

Over the years, I’ve heard numerous stories about the “red string of fate” from people, but I’ve never taken the time to investigate them.

The little red tattoo may be recognizable to a few of our readers, but most people who have seen it previously are probably unaware of its meaning.

I had noticed the same thing on a couple other people. Still, more than enough to detect a pattern. Though I wasn’t sure what this symbol meant, I knew it meant something.

I looked up more information regarding the aforementioned red string tattoo online. It is referred to as the “red string of fate” in Asian nations.The tattoo resembles a straightforward bow with tails, like to a knotted shoelace. It typically appears on the thumb of men and the pinky finger of women.

There’s more to this little tattoo than meets the eye. It is related to hope and love. The story is allegedly adapted on a Chinese folktale about a matchmaker who has the ability to predict the destiny of every individual.

The notion that someone is supposed to be your partner is, of course, not exclusive to romantic partnerships. In a similar vein, virtually every culture holds the belief that you are connected to someone via an invisible relationship.

The crimson thread of fate in this instance indicates that two individuals are destined to be together regardless of their current circumstances or location. For some, that is a comforting and consoling concept. However, other people probably want to have total control over their own life.

Which camp are you in? Has anyone ever seen a person who has a tattoo of the red string of fate?
