Wuhan, China - January 23, 2025 The residents of Wuhan bitterly remember the more than two-month lockdown they were subjected to five years ago, during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, which China confronted with a strict policy that isolated the country for three years and severely impacted its economy. "I returned to Wuhan from Beijing on January 15, 2020, to celebrate the Lunar New Year. At that time, there were only rumors that a respiratory disease was spreading. A few days later, a friend called me at 7 a.m. to tell me that they were going to lockdown the city and that I should buy supplies," recalls Liu Xuan, a designer originally from this city in central China where the disease originated.
