Samenvatting
Kijk voor de meest actuele informatie over COVID-19 op de website van het RIVM.
From one of China's most acclaimed and decorated writers comes a powerful first-person account of life in Wuhan during the COVID-19 outbreak.
On January 25 2020 after the central government imposed a lockdown in Wuhan acclaimed Chinese writer Fang Fang began publishing an online diary. In the days and weeks that followed Fang Fang's nightly postings gave voice to the fears frustrations anger and hope of millions of her fellow citizens reflecting on the psychological impact of forced isolation the role of the internet as both community lifeline and source of misinformation and most tragically the lives of neighbors and friends taken by the deadly virus.
A fascinating eyewitness account of events as they unfold Wuhan Diary captures the challenges of daily life and the changing moods and emotions of being quarantined without reliable information. Fang Fang finds solace in small domestic comforts and is inspired by the courage of friends health professionals and volunteers as well as the resilience and perseverance of Wuhan's nine million residents. But by claiming the writer�s duty to record she also speaks out against social injustice abuse of power and other problems which impeded the response to the epidemic and gets herself embroiled in online controversies because of it.
As Fang Fang documents the beginning of the global health crisis in real time we are able to identify patterns and mistakes that many of the countries dealing with the novel coronavirus have later repeated. She reminds us that in the face of the new virus the plight of the citizens of Wuhan is also that of citizens everywhere. As Fang Fang writes: 'the virus is the common enemy of humankind; that is a lesson for all humanity. The only way we can conquer this virus and free ourselves from its grip is for all members of humankind to work together.'
Blending the intimate and the epic the profound and the quotidian Wuhan Diary is a remarkable record of an extraordinary time.
