Liu Cixin : (3)

" The main difficulty is finding an idea that really excites me. We live in an age when miracles are no longer miracles, and science and the future are losing their sense of mystery. For science fiction, or at least the type of science fiction I write, this development is almost fatal, but I’m still giving it all I’ve got. " - Liu Cixin

" In high school and college, I started to read more and write science fiction myself. I was fully engaged in writing in the 1990s. " - Liu Cixin

" I do think that science fiction ideas are best expressed through visual media like film and TV. Realist literature depicts things that we have seen in life, but science fiction is different: what it depicts exists only in the author’s imagination. When it comes to science fiction, the written word is inadequate. " - Liu Cixin
