During the girl’s 4-plus-minute session, Zhang Ya complains about not being able to watch television and play her favorite video game because China instituted a 3-day period of mourning following the earthquakes that killed more than 40,000 people and injured 220,000 more. The time of mourning began on May 19 with a three-minute moment of silence while air raid sirens wailed.

Zhang Ya has now been arrested for her disrespect for the sufferings of the earthquake victims.

Millions of Chinese Internet users posted furious condemnation messages, accusing the 21-year-old girl of "no humanity," "insulting the victims" and calling her "scum".
