The author of Wuhan whose virus diary angers the Chinese

The diary of an award-winning author from Wuhan, China, which he began writing in the early days of the Corona virus epidemic, is now in print with English translation.

Feng Feng first began publishing his experiences online in January, when it was considered a local crisis.

The 65-year-old author's diary was read by millions in China and a glimpse of the city where the virus first appeared.

As the lockdown progressed, Feng Feng's popularity grew. Publishers said they would collect their diaries and publish them in several languages.

But Feng Feng's growing international reputation has also created problems for him, and many in China are angry at his reporting and have even called him a traitor.

Feng Feng's real name is Wang Feng, and he began posting incidents on the Chinese social media site Weibo in late January after China imposed a lockdown in Wuhan.

In his diary, he writes about the psychological effects of daily loneliness and forced loneliness.
