About this listen

 The first Canadian journalist in China to record the beginning of the pandemic, now an international best-selling author, presents his diary of the pandemic's start as the author's preferred edition for the first time.

'A feverish fear…
what began as a memoir and a goodbye,
became a story of triumph against the virus,
and a lighthouse in the storm.'

My name is Jorah Kai, and I am a bard. I toured festivals around the world, sharing whimsy and merriment for decades, until one day, I wandered into the misty mountains that shrouded the ancient Chinese city of Ba along the mighty Yangtze river. I married, and lived a quiet, happy life there for many years. Until one day, when everything changed.

On the first day of the year of the metal rat, 2020, a mysterious, novel virus ravaged China. Mathematical models predicted Chongqing would be quickly overwhelmed as the next epicenter after Wuhan. This is the story of the first 60 days of COVID-19 in China, day-by-day, and how Chongqing, the world's largest cyberpunk metropolis in Asia, stood tall when other cities fell. This is not how the story ends, only how it began.

"Jorah Kai is the canary in the coal mine. His notes from beyond the start of this pandemic should serve as a roadmap for how to survive what it looks like we are all, sadly, going to go through." - Andrew 'Myagi' Mavor

"A fantastic piece of writing. As a virus fanatic, (it's) a fascinating and horrifying breakdown...as gripping as the best mystery novel or apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. My curious hunger fueled by burning interest and chilling horror cannot stop reading every word, turning every page." - Rhett Morita
"Although not a traditional authority of any kind, Kai proved to be an essential source of sanity and safety during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. He truly is a warrior poet." - Dylan Lane (aka ill.Gates) Death, Grief & Loss Philosophy Poetry Themes & Styles
