29 dead in hospital fire in China; arrests follow tragedy 中国29人死于医院火灾,惨案发生后被捕
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/04/19/deadly-beijing-hospital-fire/6f54febc-de71-11ed-a78e-9a7c2418b00c_story.html
周二下午,医院的住院病房在距离天安门广场不到七英里的北京市中心的长丰医院爆发了致命的大火。
最初关于火灾的媒体报道很少。官方的新华社和《北京日报》直到周二深夜,即大火熄灭几个小时后才发表文章。火灾的视频最初也在社交媒体上受到审查。
周三下午,北京地方政府官员举行的新闻发布会上证实了死亡人数。初步调查表明,该事件是由建筑工程造成的,因为警方拘留了十几人——包括医院院长。
The deadly blaze erupted at the hospital’s inpatient department Tuesday afternoon at the Changfeng Hospital in the heart of Beijing, less than seven miles away from Tiananmen Square.
Initial media reports about the fire were scant. The official Xinhua News Agency and the Beijing Daily didn’t publish articles until late Tuesday evening, several hours after the blaze had been extinguished. Footage of the fire was also censored on social media at first.
The death toll was confirmed Wednesday afternoon at a press briefing held by Beijing local government officials. Initial investigations suggested the incident was caused by construction work, as police detained a dozen people — including the head of the hospital.

The deadly blaze erupted at the Beijing Changfeng Hospital’s inpatient department Tuesday, according to a late evening report published by state media outlet Xinhua News Agency.
