This study of Chinese science fiction will be of interest to
students, SF fans, and even to those with a mere passing fancy of
science fiction in the Middle Kingdom. The book is split into three
main parts; firstly the development of Anglo-American and Chinese
SF are compared - mainly for those who are new to the "genre."
Next, the "unspoken" limiting guidelines for authors that no one
can / will universally agree on are discussed. Also, historical
case studies demonstrate why freedom to create is absolutely vital
to the progressive developments of companies and even countries
which also rings true for China's role in the 21st century.
Finally, a sampling of 12 short stories by three major authors over
the last forty years are examined for content that agrees with
statements made about SF in China by experts in SF studies as well
as authors themselves. All this helps even a novice in the subject
to gain important insights into what it means to be an SF author in
China.
