- Description 詳情
The sealing off of Wuhan from January 23 to April 8, 2020 was an unprecedented event in modern world history. Recently published by Columbia University Press, Guobin Yang’s book "The Wuhan Lockdown" recounts this history by presenting a galaxy of dramatic scenes and characters.
This talk introduces the main features of the book and then zooms in on one theme – stories of ordinary people during the lockdown. Whether they were COVID patients or health care workers, students or teachers, young parents or retirees, residents in Wuhan performed remarkable acts of citizenship as they faced up to the COVID crisis. An examination of these acts of citizenship sheds light on the meaning of ordinary culture in extraordinary times.
