北京保衛戰（簡體書）

2003年春的中國北京，如同一座恐怖之城、瘟疫之城和面臨死亡之城。於是出現了許許多多“奇怪而可笑”的事：在與北京接壤的地方——河北廊坊某地段的公路上，有人竟然用挖土機挖了一個深二十多米、寬三十多米的巨型大坑，說是“為了防止北京城裏開過來的汽車”，所有北京方向來的汽車在這個地方只能往回走。有一個村莊，過去一直靠開農家樂而賺足北京城裏人的錢的農民們。這會兒他們害怕染上瘟疫的北京城裏人跑到他們那兒，所以發動全村力量，三天之內在村莊四周築起一道高3米、長幾公里的圍牆，將整個村莊全部包在裏面，進出只有兩個門口，門口設有崗哨，而且佩戴著菜刀和鐵棒，見陌生人闖進來就立即抓了關進小屋隔絕。如果一聽說是北京城裏來的人，那就不管三七二十一就往外趕…… 本書通過2003年非典肆虐時期作者深入北京各個“抗非”的現場所獲取的第一手採訪資料以及親身經歷，真實地記錄了首都北京在非典爆發時所經歷的驚心動魄的一段生死記憶，向人們揭開了“抗非”一線的真實情況。

One village relied on tourism from Beijing to earn money. Terrified by the possibility of contracting disease from fleeing Beijingers, villagers worked to erect a three-meter high fence encircling the village, with only two doorways for entry and exit. The doorways had manned sentry towers, where villagers stood guard with kitchen knifes and iron rods, ready to chase away strangers. When they heard that the people approaching were from Beijing, they drove them off, taking no heed of their protestations...
