The late 1970s to the mid-1980s, a period commonly referred to as
the post-Mao cultural thaw, was a key transitional phase in the
evolution of Chinese science fiction. This period served as a
bridge between science-popularization science fiction of the 1950s
and 1960s and New Wave Chinese science fiction from the 1990s into
the twenty-first century. Chinese Science Fiction during the
Post-Mao Cultural Thaw surveys the field of Chinese science fiction
and its multimedia practice, analysing and assessing science
fiction works by well-known writers such as Ye Yonglie, Zheng
Wenguang, Tong Enzheng, and Xiao Jianheng, as well as the
often-overlooked tech-science fiction writers of the post-Mao thaw.
Exploring the socio-political and cultural dynamics of
science-related Chinese literature during this period, Hua Li
combines close readings of original Chinese literary texts with
literary analysis informed by scholarship on science fiction as a
genre, Chinese literary history, and media studies. Li argues that
this science fiction of the post-Mao thaw began its rise as a type
of government-backed literature, yet it often stirred up
controversy and received pushback as a contentious and
boundary-breaking genre. Topically structured and interdisciplinary
in scope, Chinese Science Fiction during the Post-Mao Cultural Thaw
will appeal to both scholars and fans of science fiction.
