Review Quotes: Guobin Yang paints a vivid and deeply moving portrait of ordinary people who suddenly find themselves at the epicenter of a frightening new disease. Based on dozens of online 'lockdown diaries' written by Wuhan residents, this book offers a revealing and humanizing perspective on one of the most controversial and consequential events of our time.--Elizabeth J.
