From one-time Chinese capital to coronavirus epicenter, Wuhan has a long
history that the West had forgotten

(CNN) Before the novel coronavirus outbreak hit Wuhan in December, the exact
whereabouts -- and even existence -- of the central Chinese city had
slipped from the general public's awareness in the West.
But it wasn't always that way.
Two generations ago, this city of 11 million people, on the junction of the
Yangtze and Han Rivers, 600 miles upstream, in central China, was known
through the West as a major industrial city.
It was somewhere many European powers had a consulate, a place where major
Western and Japanese trading firms, and international textile and
engineering companies, had factories and sales offices.
It was a regular overseas posting for customs officers, steamboat captains,
traders and consuls. Wuhan was also a cradle of China's revolution in 1911.
A quarter of a century later, it stood defiantly as the beleaguered wartime
capital of nationalist China.
