A respected author living in Wuhan, China wrote lengthy social media posts about daily life in her town as the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. These social media posts were widely distributed, but later banned by the Chinese government for being subversive. This book is all of the author's posts, collected in one place as a diary. It is compelling reading, and makes it clear how much Chinese society and government mirror our own. Absolutely recommended.
