在中共高压封号、舆论钳制的黑暗环境下，仍有无数普通中国人选择站在正义一边，为乌克兰的自由而发声。他们不是战场上的士兵，却在信息战的最前线，用视频、文字和良知，抵抗侵略、传播真相。姚刚先生，就是这样一位令人敬佩的民间勇士。2026年春，他突然离世，留给世人的是无尽哀思与刺心之痛。

姚刚先生早年在深圳从事足球相关工作，后长居北京宋庄艺术村。他本是热爱生活、乐于交友的普通人，却在偶然重逢老友的视频通话中，展现出温暖真挚的一面。2020年代初，在一个艺术交流群里，当“艺术教育界公认的垃圾”闻松对多人进行无端攻击、辱骂女性时，姚刚先生以最温和、最简短的语气加以劝导。谁料却遭到对方劈头盖脸的狂骂。这位河北汉子气得全身发抖，却没有退缩。他连做数期视频，隔空约战，以义愤之火回应卑劣。正是这份不平则鸣的血性，让他从此走上公开抗俄挺乌的道路。

自那时起，姚刚先生转向短视频创作，尽管制作尚显朴素，却凭借真诚与坚持，在腾讯视频号等平台积累了可观影响力。他坚定支持乌克兰抵抗俄罗斯侵略，发布大量分析时事、揭露俄军暴行的内容，成为中国民间“抗恶正道战场”上的一名战士。2026年3月，他的视频仍持续关注泽连斯基、乌军战况、国际局势等主题，记录下一个普通中国人对和平与正义的坚守。

如今，姚刚先生走了。这不仅仅是一个人的悲剧，更是无数理想主义者在逼仄现实中窒息的缩影。在中共体制的沉默高压下，许多挺乌声音被封杀，许多正义战士被迫噤声。但姚刚先生们选择了发声——他们不是为了流量或利益，而是因为良知无法沉默。他们是中国人中少有的、敢于在国内公开支持乌克兰、反对侵略战争的勇士。

和平，从不缺席真正的守护者。 除了姚刚，还有更多默默无闻的同道：他们在墙内坚持转发真相、在艺术村、在网络角落、在日常对话中传递光明。他们或许没有武器，却用声音筑起道德防线；他们或许面临封号、威胁，却从未放弃对乌克兰胜利的期盼。

姚刚先生，一路走好。愿您与所有为和平倒下的战士——包括那些在乌克兰战场上英勇牺牲的英雄——在天之灵，得见曙光。愿乌克兰早日迎来胜利，愿中乌友谊在民间生根发芽，愿更多中国人觉醒：支持和平、反对侵略，从来不是“站队”，而是人性最基本的选择。

和平网向所有在黑暗中点灯的挺乌勇士致敬！
你们的坚守，不会白费。历史终将铭记每一位为正义发声的中国人。
乌克兰，必胜。和平，必胜。

In Memoriam of Mr. Yao Gang: A Tragic Song and an Undying Light for Chinese Warriors Supporting Ukraine and Against Russia

In the dark environment of the CCP’s high-pressure account censorship and media control, countless ordinary Chinese people still chose to stand on the side of justice and speak out for the freedom of Ukraine. They were not soldiers on the battlefield, but on the front lines of the information war, using videos, words, and conscience to resist aggression and spread the truth. Mr. Yao Gang was such an admirable civilian warrior. In the spring of 2026, he suddenly passed away, leaving behind endless sorrow and heart-wrenching pain.

Mr. Yao Gang worked in football-related fields in Shenzhen in his early years, and later lived in Songzhuang Art Village, Beijing. He was an ordinary person who loved life and enjoyed making friends, yet he revealed a warm and sincere side during a chance video call with an old friend. In the early 2020s, in an art exchange group, when Wen Song, “the universally acknowledged trash in the art education field,” launched unwarranted attacks and insults against women, Mr. Yao Gang offered advice in the gentlest and most concise tone. Unexpectedly, he was met with a barrage of insults. This man from Hebei was trembling with rage, but he didn’t back down. He created several videos, issuing a public challenge, responding to the despicable act with righteous indignation. It was this spirit of speaking out against injustice that led him to publicly oppose Russia and support Ukraine.

From then on, Mr. Yao Gang turned to short video creation. Although the production was still somewhat simple, his sincerity and persistence earned him considerable influence on platforms like Tencent Video. He firmly supported Ukraine’s resistance against Russian aggression, publishing a large amount of content analyzing current events and exposing the atrocities of the Russian army, becoming a warrior on the “battlefield of righteous resistance” in China. In March 2026, his videos continued to focus on topics such as Zelensky, the Ukrainian military situation, and the international situation, recording an ordinary Chinese man’s steadfast commitment to peace and justice.

Now, Mr. Yao Gang is gone. This is not just one person’s tragedy, but a microcosm of countless idealists suffocating in the face of a harsh reality. Under the silent pressure of the CCP regime, many voices supporting Ukraine have been censored, and many warriors of justice have been forced into silence. But Mr. Yao Gang and his ilk chose to speak out—not for traffic or profit, but because their conscience could not remain silent. They are among the few brave Chinese people who dare to openly support Ukraine and oppose the war of aggression within China.

Peace is never absent from the presence of true guardians. Besides Yao Gang, there are many more unsung heroes: they persist in forwarding the truth within the Great Firewall, spreading light in art villages, online corners, and in everyday conversations. They may lack weapons, but they build a moral defense with their voices; they may face account bans and threats, but they have never given up their hope for a Ukrainian victory.

Mr. Yao Gang, may you rest in peace. May your spirit, along with those of all the warriors who fell for peace—including the heroes who bravely sacrificed themselves on the Ukrainian battlefield—see the dawn in heaven. May Ukraine achieve victory soon, may the friendship between China and Ukraine take root and flourish among the people, and may more Chinese people awaken: supporting peace and opposing aggression is never about “taking sides,” but rather the most basic choice of humanity.

PeaceNet pays tribute to all the brave warriors who light the way in the darkness for Ukraine!

Your perseverance will not be in vain. History will forever remember every Chinese person who spoke out for justice.

🙏 Mr. Yao Gang, may your memory live on.

Ukraine will prevail. Peace will prevail.

悼姚刚先生
姚刚先生早年在深圳从事足球工作，后长居北京宋庄艺术村。那一日，他偶然看见失联多年的老友——鼓王谢胜利老师与我在一起，便兴冲冲拉起视频。我们三人隔屏相谈，笑声朗朗，仿佛旧雨重逢，时光骤然倒流。
后来，在一个艺术群里，艺术教育界公认的垃圾闻松举报我等多人，也无端攻击同道，更对多位女性极尽污辱谩骂之能事。该群主姚刚先生以最温和、最简短的语气加以劝导。谁料闻畜劈头盖脸对他一顿无端狂骂。隔着屏幕我都能感受到姚兄气得全身发抖。他连做数期视频隔城约战，义愤如火。我私下向他致谢和安慰他：不必与小人败类一般见识。
自此，我们在各自的群里时常交流，彼此见证生活。他逐渐转向视频创作，坚定抗俄挺乌。虽视频制作尚显粗朴，然流量颇旺，影响日广。一晃数年，姚兄已然是抗恶正道战场上的一名战士。
如今，我才进一步得知：他还是那年春夏之交的勇士，让哀思愈发沉痛。
姚刚先生的离世，是一场巨大的悲剧，更是中国人共同的悲剧。理想主义者在逼仄现实中的窒息、坚守者在沉默中的倒下，很多不能说的话，构成了这个时代最刺心的隐痛。
愿乌中早传捷报，愿姚刚阿亮等正义战士在天之灵，得见他所期盼的光明。
姚刚先生，一路走好。🙏
