Editor's Note
These novellas and novelettes published between 1999 and 2008. Many of them have won the most influential award for Chinese science fiction – the Galaxy Award (Chinese Hugo Award).
Liu is well-known for his novels. But his short-fictions are more or at least just as brilliant, intriguing and insightful as his long-form ones. From these stories about the sun’s death, extra-terrestrial civilization, time and space travel, readers will find thought-provoking meditations on technology and art, contrast of vastness and tininess, and the endless struggle between life and death. Every piece of these anthologies condensed Liu’s compassionate understanding of humanity and profound reflection on human nature.
Altogether, they serve as a marvelous, shocking, and awe-inspiring feast for the imagination. Please enjoy.
