The death of the Chinese doctor, who tried to warn against an outbreak of the Corona virus, has sparked an unprecedented wave of popular anger and sadness in China.
Li Wenliang died of being infected with the Coronavirus, which he contracted while treating patients in the central hospital in Wuhan, China, the center of the virus's spread.
Wenliang sent a letter in December to his colleagues in the medical field, warning of a virus that was thought to be the SARS virus.
But the police were instructed to "stop publishing false comments" and were investigated for "spreading rumors."
The news of Wenliang's death was greeted by a torrent of grief on the Chinese social networking site Weibo - but that grief soon turned into anger.
