Blog on Chinese SF & F
编辑时间:2004/10/12 幻想的边疆
Chinese Science Fiction and Fantasy is probably one of the most unique blogs I have come across within the China blogging zone.
According to its Frequently Imagined Question section, the blog is "a center or clearing house of sorts for news in English about Chinese language science fiction."
It "attempts to illuminate the state of Chinese science fiction by reporting on the latest news, translating commentary and criticism, and issuing reviews and recommendations" in light of the fact that Chinese science fiction seldom appears in English and awareness of it in the English-speaking world is minimal.
All posts found on this blog are related to Science Fiction and Fantasy. The author even managed to show the linkages between the May Fourth Movement and science fiction on May 4th:
"Science fiction appealed to other May Fourth writers as well. At the time it was seen as a means of introducing the reading public to the wonders of science and educating them to be part of a modern age." Another piece I found interesting is about the rising popularity of fantasy in China as reflected by the new fantasy magazine titles that came to the market in recent months.
