Translated by Michael Berry

January 23, 2020

Today, the city of Wuhan was placed under lockdown. No one is allowed in or out. The city is effectively quarantined.

I am a writer, and I have lived in Wuhan for over 20 years. I am writing this diary to document my experiences during this unprecedented time.

The lockdown has been difficult. The city is eerily quiet. The streets are empty, and the only sounds are the occasional siren or the sound of birds singing.

I am afraid. I am afraid of getting sick. I am afraid of what will happen to my family and friends. I am afraid of the unknown.

But I am also hopeful. I am hopeful that the lockdown will work and that the virus will be contained.

I am hopeful that the people of Wuhan will come together and support each other during this difficult time.

January 25, 2020

The lockdown is now in its third day. I am starting to get used to the new routine. I wake up, eat breakfast, and then spend the rest of the day reading, writing, and watching TV.

I am also trying to stay connected with my family and friends. I call them every day, and we talk about how we are ng.

I am grateful for the technology that allows me to stay connected with the outside world. It helps me to feel less isolated.

January 28, 2020

The lockdown is now in its sixth day. I am starting to feel restless. I miss being able to go outside and walk around.

I am also starting to worry about the future. I don't know how long the lockdown will last. I don't know when I will be able to see my family and friends again.

February 1, 2020

The lockdown is now in its ninth day. I am starting to feel depressed. I am tired of being stuck inside. I am tired of the uncertainty.

I am starting to lose hope. I don't know how much longer I can go on like this.

February 5, 2020

The lockdown is now in its thirteenth day. I am starting to feel a glimmer of hope.

The number of new cases of the virus is starting to decrease. The lockdown is working.

I am also starting to see the resilience and strength of the people of Wuhan. They are coming together to support each other during this difficult time.

February 10, 2020

The lockdown is now in its seventeenth day. I am feeling more hopeful than ever before.

The number of new cases of the virus is continuing to decrease. The lockdown is working.

I am also seeing more and more stories of people recovering from the virus. This gives me hope that we will all get through this together.

February 14, 2020

Today, the lockdown was lifted. I am finally able to leave my apartment and walk around the city.

The city is still quiet, but there is a sense of hope in the air. The people of Wuhan are starting to rebuild their lives.

I am grateful for the experience of living through the lockdown. It has taught me a lot about myself and about the human spirit.

I am also grateful for the support of my family and friends. They have helped me through this difficult time.

I am hopeful for the future. I know that the people of Wuhan will overcome this challenge and emerge stronger than ever before.
