Lockdown in Chinese villages

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

It is a video about the lockdown in Chinese villages. I found it from Youtube. But I originally watched this video on a Chinese short video platform named Douyin.

When the coronavirus broke out in China in January, the small villages acted very quickly for lockdown. Only the local people of that village could enter, and there are large roadblocks and serious checks before the cars or people could enter that village. The leaders of those villages will broadcast for the villager that they should stay at home every day.
