    Goodbye China — for now. My time here is ending after 24 years. I am filled with sadness at leaving, and gratitude for family and friends who have made this country my life as well as my work. I look forward to resuming reporting soon, and also to the day when we can return.

    Goodbye for now Wuhan. I’m leaving after 78 days. It’s been an unforgettable privilege. I haven’t been able to report or say much since my visa expired mid. Feb, but I leave with profound memories and friendships. I’ll be in quarantine in Beijing while my next steps are decided.

    China's national coronavirus crisis, forcing so many people indoors for days on end, is already inspiring a rich outpouring of art. weibo.com/1758051633/IrU…

    China is unsurpassed at making hair-raising U-turns.

    Time to get back onto Twitter. I’m about to arrive in Wuhan to see how the city is coping under the lockdown and the menace of the coronavirus. Also follow live updates at the Times. nytimes.com/2020/01/23/wor…

    A year ago I woke up to an editor's email asking for a reporter to go to Wuhan, which was locking down because of a new virus. Shut a whole city? Sounded ambitious even for China....I guessed I'd be there for a week or two before the story died down.... nytimes.com/2021/01/22/wor…

    Now is a good time to remind everyone that the documentary "The Gate of Heavenly Peace," far the best history of the 1989 Tiananmen protests and mass carnage, is available in two parts on YouTube. youtu.be/1Gtt2JxmQtg

    Goodbye Hong Kong. I’m heading to Sydney where I will be back at work at last and back to Twitter. Oh, and another two weeks of quarantine.

    After China's big "singles' day" online shopping binge, survivors share stories of the fake rubbish they bought, like these Jordans.

    来到武汉第78天终于可以回北京。有希望隔离结束之后可以回到家人及小狗当然高兴了,但同时要告别武汉也令人难过了。这次疫情中,武汉人面临人亡家破的危险,但他们仍然十分厚道地接受了我们媒体记者的采访,令我感激不尽。因为走的太突然所以都来不及与一些朋友们告辞,请原谅。我会再回来的。

    Fan Bingbing, the disappeared Chinese celebrity, is a perfect example of what I sometimes think of "consumer totalitarianism." You can have a prosperous life, even enjoy Kardashianesque ubiquity. But cross a red line and in an instant you can be vanished.

    I’ll be tweeting from Wuhan Friday. And please remember we have a large team keeping you up to date on the virus outbreak here at the Times’ live briefing. A special shout out to our researchers working when they should be on holiday

    Wuhan is surviving and staying relatively orderly thanks in large part to its working class: people sent out to collect trash, clean streets, work in supermarkets and food stores — when every instinct tells residents that they should hole up at home.

    It’s a relief to be a step closer to rejoining family and friends. Right now, though, I feel sad to leave Wuhan, and gratitude for the many people who helped there — colleagues, the staff at my hotel, strangers who stopped to tell their stories, new friends now friends for life.
