Description
A collection of true stories from the early months of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China. Murong Xuecun's account is based on covert interviews with people from all walks of life as the city was locked down in January 2020. The lockdown had a profound impact on the residents of Wuhan, who struggled to find medicine, food or information about the virus that had trapped them in their homes. Eight stories capture the voices and griefs of those affected, offering a unique perspective on the pandemic and its effects on Chinese society. This book provides a vivid and haunting portrayal of life during one of the most significant global health crises of the 21st century.
