Her videos are a great place to start. They capture a lot of footage of Wuhan in the early stages of COVID, and show things like the crematorium running overtime and the hospital overflowing, during a period when the Chinese government was telling the world that fears of the virus were overblown, and a pandemic wasn't possible.

They also display just how aggressively Chinese authorities reacted to non-state journalists simply filming things. So much anger and intimidation.

Yeah I know about her channel, but could you please link to actual "rock-solid evidence" of corruption that she unearthed? YouTube has a nice timestamp feature.

Vaguely gesturing to a dense YouTube channel is not helpful.

I don't know Chinese, but YouTube has a "sort by most popular" feature. There is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEmQdT2ChBA, which Google translates as "Family members of victims of the Wuhan epidemic face 'political stigma' warnings and pressure from the police". It just seems to be her talking in the video, so not really "evidence" per se, but judging from the English comment it seems likely to be the video that got her in trouble.
Let’s say there was no rock solid evidence. Is the way she is treated right?

If no, why would they treat her that way then?

Why she is willing to just not eat is a mystery. If she admitted to wrong doing they might let her out with a fine.

There are chaos.

I seem no corruption. I do see the Chinese workers who did exteadornry work to support Wuhan. One great example is a hospital built in 10 days https://youtu.be/53nhErXUd9A

All people on the construction site are volunteer. They have had the chance to go back. But decided to risk their own lifes.

Besides there are numerous medical workers from all over China to come to Wuhan to alleviate the chaos.

My highest respect to those ordinary people.
