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.

My Mother-in-Law Persistently Intrudes on My Privacy – I Installed a Hidden Camera, Which Uncovered an Even More Shocking Truth
Susan always prided herself on her sense of privacy and personal space, qualities she valued deeply in her orderly life. Married to Mike, a dependable and loving husband, and mother to their bright and bubbly son James, Susan’s life was filled with the simple joys of family. However, her comfort began to wane with the increasingly frequent visits of her mother-in-law, Mary, who had started babysitting James more often.
Initially, Susan appreciated Mary’s help, which allowed her to focus more on her burgeoning career as a graphic designer. Yet, something felt off each time Mary left their home. Susan started noticing subtle disarrays: her jewelry box slightly askew, drawers not fully closed, and personal papers that seemed shuffled. When she voiced her concerns to Mike, his responses were dismissive, always finding reasons to excuse his mother’s potential invasions of their privacy.
“Susan, Mom wouldn’t do that. Maybe James is playing around in our room?” Mike would suggest, trying to alleviate her worries.
However, Susan’s intuition told her otherwise. The thought of being violated in her own home by someone she was supposed to trust gnawed at her. Driven by a need to protect her personal boundaries, Susan decided on a course of action that would eventually reveal more than she bargained for. She set up a hidden camera in their bedroom, a decision that filled her with guilt yet seemed necessary.
For days, the camera captured nothing more than mundane realities of daily life—Mary playing with James, reading stories, and putting him to bed. Susan almost began to feel foolish until the footage from one particular afternoon changed everything.
After tucking James in for his nap, Mary began snooping through Susan and Mike’s bedroom. She sifted through Susan’s diary and Mike’s personal letters. Feeling a mix of vindication and shock, Susan called Mike to watch the footage. As they watched, another figure unexpectedly appeared, shattering their world.
A man, presumed dead—Mike’s father—walked into the frame. He was unmistakable, even after years, especially with the distinct tattoo on his arm that Mike had described in stories from his childhood.
“There, look!” Susan pointed out, shaking as the reality of the situation set in.
Mike was in disbelief. “That can’t be,” he murmured, the image of his supposedly deceased father overwhelming him. “He looks just like Dad, but it must be a mistake.”
Confronting Mary became inevitable. The drive to her house was tense, each mile stretching longer than the last. When they arrived, Mary’s usual warm demeanor faltered under the weight of her son’s stern expression.
“Mom, we need to talk about Dad. Why is he in our house when you told me he was dead?” Mike’s confrontation was direct, his voice a blend of confusion and betrayal.
Mary’s reaction was one of immediate regret. “Oh, Michael, I—I thought I was protecting you,” she stammered, her explanation dissolving into sobs.
“Protecting me? From what?” Mike pressed, his patience thinning.
Mary revealed a past filled with pain and fear. After a serious accident, her husband had become aggressive and unpredictable. Divorce seemed the only safe exit, and to spare Mike further pain, she told him his father had died. Recently, however, he had reentered her life, changed and remorseful after years of therapy. They had rekindled their relationship in secret, a fact she intended to disclose but never found the right moment.
The revelations left Susan and Mike reeling. Trust, the foundation of their family, had been shaken to its core. They drove home with more questions than answers, each lost in a tumult of betrayal, revelation, and the daunting task of reconciliation.
Back home, Mike needed space to process the gravity of his mother’s deceit and the shock of his father’s sudden resurrection in his life. He decided to meet his father, to seek answers only the man himself could provide.
“I need to see him for myself,” Mike decided, the weight of his words hanging between him and Susan.
Susan supported him, understanding his need for closure, for answers that might mend the fragmented pieces of his past.
When Mike returned from the meeting, he was visibly altered—exhausted yet relieved. His father was indeed a changed man, no longer the figure from the dark tales of his mother’s recounts but someone seeking forgiveness and a chance to rebuild what was lost.
As Susan and Mike navigated through the aftermath, their bond strengthened, underscored by a newfound commitment to transparency and understanding. Together, they faced the complex journey of healing, learning anew that the secrets we keep, no matter how well-intentioned, often have a way of surfacing, demanding attention and resolution.
This narrative not only expands on the original plot but also dives deeper into the emotional and psychological impacts of secrets within a family, offering a rich exploration of trust, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships.
