"Introduction to 2181 Overture, Second Edition" by @gushidoc is a great story, winner of Xingyun Award for Chinese Science Fiction, Best Short Stroy Award. Check out the English version by @emilyxnjin !
Thank you so much Emily. I love the translated story, it touched me through every word you choose and every character you deliver. The wonderful translation could be found here clarkesworldmagazine.com/gu_… Many thanks to @kyliu99 and @ShimmerProgram .
It's a wonderful issue and definitely recommend to all!
A great many thanks to @yenooi @HeavenDule James and Chris for co-editing this special issue on Chinese SF & Space for Journey Planet! So proud of our final turnout! It's a celebration at the turn of years and Part II will be out at the turn of lunar years!
I think it's because that is the Chinese version, not published in the US! But do check out bookstores selling Chinese books, and I think @AccentSociety should have it!

Just had a lovely talk with @gushidoc , Nian Yu, moderated by @emilyxnjin for new students at Schwarzman College, Tsinghua University. We talked about THE WAY SPRING ARRIVES AND OTHER STORIES, Chinese speculative fiction, gender, and locality vs globality. Enjoy the discussion!

Just got the latest issue of Chinese fanzine Zero G Sci-fi, with a specific focus on Worldcon. They translated many valuable articles from English and also comissioned original pieces. A great resource for Chinese fans to learn about Worldcon! Thanks to editor @heliu79457845

Huge congratulations to our angel Neil!
Neil and Clarkesworld Magazine are so fundamental to the presence of translated science fiction in the anglophone world. So many Chinese SFF writers managed to make their debut in English via the @clarkesworld & @ShimmerProgram collaboration.
