We inadvertently sighed at the wonder and insignificance of human civilization when we looked up and focused on the entire universe. The Three-Body Problem ignited the silence of Chinese science fiction, so we consciously look at the world from a larger, more distant, but at the same time more subtle perspective. With the rapid development of science and technology, how far away are the scenes in science fiction from us? And how far has the Chinese science fiction battleship carried by time flown until today?
The Living Library welcomes you to follow the step of the lecturer Mr. Tang Zhesheng, and walk into the wonderful world of contemporary Chinese science fiction.
