While many people around the world still live on tenterhooks, wondering when COVID-19 will finally be brought under control, Adham Sayed, a Lebanese student studying in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, is over the moon about the publication of his book,
Confidence Comes from Effectiveness: A Foreigner s Wuhan Diary.
Having lived in Wuhan for five years, Sayed witnessed how Wuhan, after being hit hard by the pandemic, emerged victorious in its fight against the pandemic after making great sacrifices.

SHREVEPORT – As an avid and constant reader, I decided to do the Reading Challenge on Goodreads again this year; last year I set the lofty goal of 100 books and missed the mark with 63 out of 100 books.
This year, because of the pandemic, probably, I did better. I set a lower goal of 75 books and so far I’ve read 82. I’ll probably be at 83 by the end of the year.
Currently I am reading
Wuhan Diary by Fang Fang, which is the collected dispatches, or posts, from the renown Chinese author during the 76 days of the Wuhan lockdown. While most of us are tired of Covid, tired of reading about Covid, and tired of all things Covid, I am enjoying the book.

WUHAN, China The author of a blog that wowed millions of readers with her chronicle of daily life in this city under “lockdown” has found herself muzzled as publishers are now refusing to release her latest novel and other works already contracted for release.
“I face cold violence by the state,” Fang Fang, 65, said in a statement she sent to The Asahi Shimbun.
Fang Fang vividly illustrated her daily activities and feelings about society while the city in central Hubei province was cut off from the outside world for three months following the initial novel coronavirus outbreak.
