An Australian publisher is set to release the latest work from one of China's most popular writers Murong Xuecun, a book that forced him to flee his homeland.
Murong travelled to Wuhan in April 2020 and went undercover to pen a firsthand account of life in the locked-down city as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded.
"Wuhan was like a large ship sinking into the deep sea ... few knew how people in Wuhan lived and died," Murong has said.
