From Celestial Empires to Galactic Dreams: A Brief History of Science Fiction in China
- conference

fantasy
In recent years, Chinese science fiction has achieved considerable success both nationally and internationally. Authors like Liu Cixin and Hao Jingfang have gained wide recognition beyond the community of science fiction writers. This development is remarkable, especially considering that until the late 1990s, this genre—often described as "literature of ideas"—was strongly marginalized in the broader Chinese literary landscape. China's rapid rise on the international stage and the question of how this geopolitical change will shape the future are key factors in this new popularity. But can science fiction really shed light on this issue? Does China imagine the future differently? And what exactly is meant by "Chinese science fiction"? This conference provides an overview of the genre's emergence in China, emphasizing why a historical perspective is essential to understand its contemporary significance.
