Published on March 3, these wordless illustrations capture iconic moments from the first months of the pandemic in China. Ranging from illustrations of police blockades and a viral video in which a dog was killed to snapshots of daily life, they commemorate a time when the future felt profoundly uncertain. FireStealer wrote that he wanted to record these specifics in the style of a children's book, creating a contextless record for future generations.
