Wuhan Diaries

Author: Li Jing

Publisher: China International Radio Press

Illustrator Li Jing, a native of Wuhan who recovered from a personal battle with COVID-19, believed that the indelible memories of those who helped the city through the difficult period should be recorded and remembered.

She captured touching moments of the fight against COVID-19 in Wuhan in an illustrated record of stories based on various sources, ranging from her own experiences, those recounted by her friends as well as news reports and media coverage.

The book, which could be viewed as a sort of diary, contains 288 hand-painted illustrations depicting medical staff, delivery workers, builders of the Leishenshan and Huoshenshan hospitals, police, sanitation workers, community workers, volunteers and many others who participated in the city's tenacious fight against the virus, as well as conveying the fear and love she experienced over the course of the 105-day period.
