講題摘要：
During the early days of the COVID-19 health crisis, Fang Fang’s Wuhan Diary provided an important portal for the world to understand the outbreak, local response, and how the novel coronavirus impacted everyday people. But when news of the international publication of Wuhan Diary appeared online in early April of 2020, Fang Fang’s writings became the target of a series of online attacks by Chinese ultra-nationalists. Over time, these attacks morphed into one of the most sophisticated and protracted hate campaigns against a Chinese writer in decades. Meanwhile, as controversy around Wuhan Diary swelled in China, the author was transformed into a global icon, honored by the BBC as one of the most influential women of 2020 and featured in stories by dozens of international news outlets. This lecture alternates between a first-hand account of the translation process and more critical observations on how a diary became a lightning rod for fierce political debate and the target of a sweeping online campaign that many described as a “cyber Cultural Revolution.”
