Pandemic in China

Bettina Muller

Trapped in China. Torn from Germany. One woman’s raw account of survival, solitude, ‎and seismic shifts.‎

When the protagonist left for northern China, she expected a teaching job—what she didn’t expect ‎was a front-row seat to the global pandemic. Pandemic in China is a gripping memoir that traces ‎her emotional and physical journey through the COVID outbreak, stranded far from home as ‎borders closed and chaos unfolded. As she navigates quarantine, cultural contrast, and a fractured ‎family back in Germany, readers are immersed in a powerful reflection on resilience, justice, and ‎the fragility of modern life. With haunting honesty and philosophical insight, the protagonist ‎exposes both systemic failures and quiet acts of hope. This is more than a pandemic story—it’s a ‎personal reckoning with the world as it unraveled.‎
