Chinese citizen journalist Li Zehua has re-emerged after disappearing for almost two months, revealing that he was held at a quarantine centre in Wuhan, the initial epicentre of the coronavirus epidemic, and later sent to isolation in his hometown.
But there is still no word on the whereabouts of Chen Qiushi and Fang Bin, two other high-profile video bloggers who also reported from Wuhan and have not been seen since early February.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel on Wednesday night, Li, who is also known as Kcriss Li, said he had been in his “hometown” with his family since late March after being released from mandatory quarantine.

“The world seemed different to me after this month-long period,” Li said, adding that the video was taped a week earlier.
“I thank all those who looked after and cared about me, and wish the best for those who have suffered in the outbreak.”

He wrapped up his six-minute video by citing a line from a Chinese classic about the importance of being impartial.
