Many of us love stories of time travel, aliens, and the future. But Chinese sci-fi has not seen much attention until now. One work from a Chinese writer made it a hit around the world.
On Aug 23, Liu Cixin, 52, won the world’s top sci-fi prize. He’s the first Asian to ever win the Hugo Award. Liu received the award for Best Novel through his book The Three-body Problem (《三体》).
Liu’s winning work takes the reader back to China in the 1970s. In the book, scientists found a planet with three suns. The aliens on the planet created their own civilization (文明) called “three-body”. The aliens planned to invade (入侵) Earth, but humans on Earth started to form camps to protect themselves from danger.
Liu uses his professional background in computer engineering to write the book. His work is seen as “hard science fiction”, which aims for scientific accuracy (准确). Some say this is why Liu’s novels stand out among other similar Chinese books.
The Chinese culture in Liu’s work also makes his book special. For example, Liu’s work talks about filial piety (孝顺). This is a theme Western sci-fi doesn’t pay much attention to.
Most importantly, Liu’s work, like many successful works of science fiction, is popular with people who are unsure of the future. According to Liu, China is growing quickly and is full of temptations (诱惑). This makes it the perfect time for sci-fi.
“People nowadays are locked (困住) in this small box of reality, but science fiction is a way to broaden our minds”, said Liu.
