When bestselling author LIU Cixin’s “The Three-Body Problem” was published for the first time, Baoshu was still an oversea’s student. He read LIU Cixin’s renowned work non-stop and wrote a sequel within only three weeks. As unlikely as it seemed at that time, his work was not only well received by the Chinese science fiction audience, but also by LIU Cixin himself. Instead of merely contributing a fan fiction sequel, Baoshu received publishing contracts and turned into a successful science fiction author in his own right in the following years, creating such works as “Ruins of Time”, “Garuda” etc.
Confucius Institute Frankfurt is delighted to announce a public discussion with Baoshu about his work and Chinese science fiction with professor for Chinese literature Zhiyi Yang and in cooperation with Confucius Institute Heidelberg!
Baoshu 宝树 (original name: LI Jun 李峻) is a Chinese science fiction and fantasy writer. Baoshu has won six Nebula Awards for Science Fiction and Fantasy in Chinese, three Galaxy Awards for Chinese Science Fiction, and was once nominated for the Grand Media Award for Chinese Literature.
Prof. Dr. Zhiyi Yang is a professor of Sinology at Goethe University Frankfurt. Her research focuses on premodern Chinese literature, Classical Chinese, art theory, and Chinese religions.
