Tips

history
Fang Fang posted 60 daily entries on Weibo during Wuhan's 76-day COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. The diaries were translated and published in English and German as Wuhan Diary, which made her the target of intense nationalist backlash online despite her earlier Lu Xun Literary Prize (2010) for the novella 万箭穿心 (A Thousand Arrows Through the Heart).
usage
方方 is also a common reduplicated nickname (meaning 'square-square' — cute, geometric), and an adjective meaning 'squarely; in every direction' in phrases like 四方方 (sìfāngfāng, 'perfectly square'). Context distinguishes the writer from these ordinary uses.
