Quarantined - A Short Story

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

The city of Wuhan was the epicenter of the outbreak of COVID-19, a deadly virus that has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and ruined many more. In order to contain the spread of the virus, the chinese government placed more than 60 million people under quarantine, resulting in the largest and most ruthless quarantine in human history. In an attempt to contain the spread of the virus and the spread of information, the government committed atrocities that were unheard of and hidden from the rest of the world. Geming's family was one of the many millions of families under lockdown, in a futile attempt to prevent the spread of the virus. What he would witness on one fateful day would haunt him for the years to come.

Author's Notes

Hello and welcome to Quarantined.

Originally, this was just an experimental short story that I wrote on the side as an attempt to express my anger and frustration towards how the coronavirus pandemic has been handled, especially in Wuhan. The atrocities which remained hidden and forgotten. The countless lives lost. The rivers of tears shed by the families who’ve been caught in this pandemic.

Initially, the story was a failure. It lacked any meaning and creativity. It was simply an attempt to vent my anger. But then I thought, wouldn’t it be better to share this with the rest of the world, to show them the tyranny of the CCP? And thus, here’s ”Quarantined- a short story“.

Note:

Geming’s name is chinese for ”revolution" (Ge Ming)

Qiyi’s name is chinese for ”to rebel" or ”uprising" (Qi Yi)
