Chapter 2 sequence

I have never seen Mo Xiong, but only read his novels, including two novels.Of course, it's all science fiction. In the 2010 Science Fiction World PEN, it was planned to invite Mo Xiong to participate, but the editor said that he didn't like this kind of activities, so the opportunity to meet was missed.Perhaps Mo Xiong thinks that works are the best way to communicate. Moxiong's novels are not strong in science fiction, but they are exciting and beautiful.Wen Ru is not the same person, but I believe that the work can show the author's value orientation. This has been confirmed in the few telephone and Internet exchanges with Mo Xiong——Mo Xiong has no intention of presenting Liu Cixin in the field of "core science fiction". , Wang Jinkang launched a challenge, he hopes to open up a sci-fi road that is easier to win the market, and hopes to conquer readers with plot, suspense and mystery. "This is the direction that Chinese science fiction should break through at the moment." Mo Xiong's eager voice impressed me deeply.The person on the other end of the phone who hadn't met also became three-dimensional.

This inevitably reminds me of Liu Cixin who set a new milestone for Chinese sci-fi with the "Three-Body" series, and what he said in a chat with him, "It is difficult to write such novels for sustainable development." Obviously, Mo Xiong and Liu Cixin From different directions, a common road to the prosperity of science fiction is drawn——lowering the threshold of science fiction and winning more readers. Of course, this is not the only way, there are many ways, Liu Cixin's way, Han Song's way, Xiajia's way...these different ways build up the vastness of the science fiction space.

Of course, this is not a brand new road. A group of young people including Ni Kuang walked far ahead of this road, followed by Luo Longxiang, and even He Xi walked along this road from time to time to take a look at the scenery. Of course, this is not the path that core science fiction fans agree with. They suspect that science fiction will lose its core value and suffer from the "degeneration" of science fiction. But this is a road worthy of our encouragement to explore, and it has its own irreplaceable value just like other roads. Mo Xiong has quietly embarked on this road, and won the initial recognition of readers through "Doomsday Prayer" and "Turtledove" (both published in "Science Fiction World Supplement").As part of a recent sprawling writing project, Mo Xiong has shown further ambitions.I hope he can go further and walk out of a new realm.
