Summary

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, the entire nation has acted with urgency and fought with all its strength, standing together in solidarity and pooling its will to launch a people's war on the epidemic. Cadres and staff, medical and health workers and researchers, officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and people from all sectors have made selfless contributions and fought on the front lines of epidemic prevention and control across the country, giving rise to many moving, inspiring and heroic stories. To fully showcase the selflessness and great love displayed in the fight against the epidemic, to overcome difficulties together and to remember this chapter of history, Writers Publishing House, together with its sister units under the China Writers Publishing Group, jointly planned and published this book. It focuses on presenting and celebrating the outstanding frontline figures and moving deeds of this "war against the epidemic" that embody positive energy, reflect great love, unite people and inspire hearts, conveying the power of life through literature, cheering for the people of Hubei and encouraging the entire nation, and contributing to resolutely winning the battle against the epidemic.

Editor's review

Jointly planned by Writers Publishing House and its sister units under the China Writers Publishing Group, this book focuses on the outstanding figures and moving deeds that emerged in the prevention and control of COVID-19, recording through literature those days of overcoming difficulties together. Its value lies first in "remembering": translating the selfless contributions of medical and health workers, researchers, officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, and people from all sectors into readable, transmissible literary expression, grounding grand narratives in specific people and events. The book emphasizes positive energy, great love in the world, and content that unites strength and inspires people, with a solemn yet warm emotional tone. In terms of reading context, it is suitable as a text for collective study, thematic reading, or commemorative reading, and also for individuals looking back on the course of the epidemic. It should be noted that the book is primarily celebratory and documentary; readers expecting calm social analysis or multi-perspective reflection may find a gap. Reading it as a literary archive of the era's emotions better captures the editors' intent.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Readers who wish to review the epidemic through literature and remember moving deeds
  • Institutions and organizers seeking thematic reading or collective study materials
  • General readers interested in documentary literature and positive-energy narratives
  • Those curious about frontline anti-epidemic figures and their spirit

Not a good fit for

  • Readers expecting calm social analysis or multi-perspective reflection
  • Readers who prefer fiction and strong plot tension
  • Those seeking professional knowledge or data on epidemic prevention and control

Reading tips

  1. Read piece by piece, allowing time to process emotions after each to avoid numbness from rapid consecutive reading.
  2. Suitable for reading with family or colleagues, followed by brief exchange about the figures and details that struck each person most.
  3. Note the differing circumstances of people in different sectors to understand how various groups contributed.
  4. For thematic study, read through first, then select pieces related to your own field for focused discussion.
