活动简介

EVENT INTRODUCTION

2020年4月武汉重启，犹如涅槃重生。武汉封城，浓缩着一个国家的战疫轨迹，记录着众多逆行者的抗疫历程，也烙印着无数平凡百姓守望相助的苦乐酸甜与共克时艰的磅礴力量。回顾封城最初那段最艰难的日子，“时代的一粒灰，落到个人头上，就是一座山”。在大大小小的社区里，每天都有悲痛的、绝望的、感人的又充满希望的故事发生。

5月21日，哥大全球中心联合哥伦比亚大学出版社邀请您参加宾夕法尼亚大学杨国斌教授《武汉封城》在线新书研讨会。

杨国斌教授将对话清华大学严飞教授、哥伦比亚大学博士候选人付正，基于新冠疫情和大数据时代的双背景，共同回顾过往、致敬那些在至暗时刻中的每一位平凡英雄，并总结经验与教训，不断提高应对突发社会灾难的韧性。

In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Wuhan was locked down. As we look back on the most challenging days at the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were not only agony and desperation but also countless touching and hopeful stories.

To mark the second anniversary of an unprecedented lockdown in Wuhan in fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic, Columbia Global Centers | Beijing and Columbia University Press cordially invite you to attend a virtual book talk and panel discussion for The Wuhan Lockdown, a new book by Professor Guobin Yang of the University of Pennsylvania. This book pays tribute to every ordinary hero who played an extraordinary role in the darkest moment.

Professor Yang will be joined by Professor Fei Yan of Tsinghua University and Zheng Fu, a Ph.D. candidate of Columbia University, to review the past, reflect on the remarkable success, experiences, and lesson-learned, and forge ahead with new spirits.

关于本书

ABOUT THE BOOK

《武汉封城》（The Wuhan Lockdown）用武汉人民的声音讲述了最真实、动人的封城故事。通过收集超过6,000篇武汉人民的日记，该书生动展现了武汉这座城市是如何应对新冠危及和新冠疫情背后社会治理的种种问题与反思。

在本书中，杨国斌教授分析了国家是如何通过严格封锁来管控疫情，并探究武汉人民是如何积极应对新冠疫情和封城管控。杨教授指出，公民参与——无论是公共行动还是民众自觉居家隔离——在抗击疫情都扮演了至关重要的角色。

该书讲述了从医生、患者、志愿者、政府官员、女权主义组织者、社交媒体评论员、到社区街道的阿姨们等市民和市民团体与新冠病毒抗争的故事。这些日记捕捉了处在历史关键时期的中国，揭示了政治、公民身份、道德、社区和数字化时代的复杂性。《武汉封城》记录了这场划时代抗疫战争的最初时刻，展现了平凡人民的非凡经历。

The Wuhan Lockdown tells the dramatic story of the Wuhan lockdown in the voices of the city's own people.

Using a vast archive of more than 6,000 diaries, the sociologist Guobin Yang vividly depicts how the city coped during the crisis. He analyzes how the state managed—or mismanaged—the lockdown and explores how Wuhan's residents responded by taking on increasingly active roles. Yang demonstrates that citizen engagement—whether public action or the civic inaction of staying at home—was essential in the effort to fight the pandemic.

The book features compelling stories of citizens and civic groups in their struggle against COVID-19: physicians, patients, volunteers, government officials, feminist organizers, social media commentators, and even aunties loudly swearing at party officials. These snapshots from the lockdown capture China at a critical moment, revealing the intricacies of politics, citizenship, morality, community, and digital technology. Presenting the extraordinary experiences of ordinary people, The Wuhan Lockdown is an unparalleled account of the first moments of the crisis that would define the age.
