Today is the 95th anniversary of the September 18 Incident. A national humiliation that must never be forgotten; with a loyal heart, we honor the homeland.
Yesterday, on the walk home from picking up my daughter, I told her the story of the September 18 Incident and mentioned that the air-raid sirens would sound today. On the night of September 18, 1931, artillery fire tore through the northeastern sky; the land was shattered in an instant and fell overnight. It marked the start of 14 years of resistance against Japanese aggression. As a Chinese person, I cannot—and dare not—forget this day of national humiliation.
The day before yesterday, a fellow blogger left a comment:
Back in 2021, I started using the domain pwsz.com (new domain, new journey), and suzhouren.net also pointed to the blog for quite some time. Between 2024 and 2026, the domain lapsed without renewal and someone picked it up to run a novel site. This year I registered it again and pointed it back at the blog.
The annoying part: the domain's ICP filing had been canceled, so it couldn't be bound directly to a mainland server. I set up a URL redirect to the blog instead. After reading the comment yesterday, I visited it and found the domain hijacked and blocked by the Jiangsu anti-fraud site—opening the URL jumped straight to the anti-fraud page. My other domain, bksy.org, was blocked the same way.
When in doubt, ask ~~Baidu~~ AI. Doubao said the anti-fraud blocking mechanism is basically 'unfiled domain + URL redirect.' It doesn't check whether the target site is compliant; it only looks at whether those two mechanisms are present—and my setup hit both, which is why it got blocked so easily.
I was speechless. Then I asked Doubao for appeal instructions, with a request for something simple and actionable. Doubao's plain answer: unblocking is very difficult. First, file for an ICP record. Then point the domain at a legitimate site. Then apply by phone or through a WeChat official account, and after a manual follow-up call, it might get unblocked. Speechless again.
I scrambled to cancel the URL redirect on dongfangzhimen.com (Gate of the Orient) before it got labeled as fraud too.
After thinking it over, filing seemed pointless—I wasn't using that domain anymore anyway. Keeping it felt like a waste, dropping it felt like a loss. Maybe a different approach could work.
So I switched both domains' DNS to Cloudflare and uploaded an intermediate page to Cloudflare Pages, pointing them at that page through CF CNAME records.
Strangely, my home PC still redirects both URLs to the Jiangsu anti-fraud page, but my phone browser on mobile data (no home Wi-Fi) reaches the Cloudflare intermediate page. I honestly can't explain it. So I'm asking readers to help test: which page do you land on?

PS: Following a tip from Nuanxin Xiangyang 335, I applied for unblocking through the Suzhou WeChat police account:
The application is in, but neither domain has an ICP filing, so I'm not sure it will go through...
Mostly Resolved
I turned on 'Always Use HTTPS' in Cloudflare ✅
Based on everyone's tests, other provinces can access the sites normally; only Jiangsu and a handful of other regions got intercepted. Now the intermediate page is on Cloudflare Pages, the domains resolve through Cloudflare to that page, and forced HTTPS is enabled. HTTPS encrypts data in transit, which effectively prevents ISPs from tampering with it. And with that, Jiangsu works too.
