“Control your soul’s desire for freedom.”, according to the article above, is a Chinese meme which the drone controller threw in as a bit of dark humor.

“Please comply with covid restrictions.
Control your soul’s desire for freedom.
Do not open the window or sing” i believe that was the complete sentence.
It doesn’t sound like humor, even if it is black, for the sake of improving the mood of the masses, but it does sound more like mockery, from the authorities to the prisoners in their own homes.
I don’t think they find it funny at all.
