Wuhan: An Indelible Mark

Wu and his wife had attempted to leave Wuhan before the lockdown came into effect, but failed. “Every cloud has a silver lining,” he said. Unable to leave, Wu came back to find his 90-year- old grandmother, who lives alone, had contracted the virus. “Grandmother does not know she has cancer.

Luckily we could not leave the city [so could] attend [to] her. She is now better.”
