Wuhan Diary


During the 2020 Hubei lockdowns, Fang Fang used social media to share her Wuhan Diary (武汉日记), a daily account of life in the locked-down city of Wuhan. In addition to her own writing, Wuhan Diary utilized anonymous interviews with other people in the city.[3] The account drew international public attention.[4]

Within China, Fang Fang has faced criticism, being labeled as a "traitor" by users on social media platforms such as Weibo due to her perceived criticism of the Chinese government. She has continued writing, however, despite the fact that some of her works have been blocked from publication.[5]


Awards


Fang Fang was on the list of the BBC's 100 Women announced on 23 November 2020.[6]
