Daya quickly graciously explained: "The meaning of this poem is: look ahead, look less than in the distant past, life on the planet worm; look back, do not see the future in this planet The life of the worm; so feel that the majority of the time and space, then cry. "
- Quote from the Liu Cixin poem "
A long time ago in the science fiction world, "read the mouth of an author by Time Traveler said this sentence:" the beginning of the twenty-first century science and art of human civilization desert. "Technology and artistic really contradictory? Before the twenty-first century human technology into the Millennium will certainly be considered a miracle, however, compared to today's art and ancient, how? Ancient sitter this are dragon. Ancient seven-step poetry, this pear body. Ancient the Qinhuai boats, this Super Girl. The ancients created the material conditions of the crude artistic achievement, and now seems to be beyond the reach of the peak. Is this because of conflicting technical and artistic nature because our technology is still not fully developed, I think carefully, it seems, is that the former are more likely to.
As a unique form of art, poetry only read the original in order to experience what charm, even the best poems, one translated into other languages will become uninteresting. Different languages is that, if the race is also different but also what will happen? Imagine a mammoth or a dinosaur claw holding a "landing Youzhou Taiwan Song" trying to understand the implication of the screen to see Liu Cixin in his novel " poem "is how to write. In order to understand the background of the times in this short story, it is recommended to read the end of Liu's another novel swallowed Empire .
Outside of the following question:
Re-read the works of Liu, look through the novel in the past two months to see dizzy after. A voluminous through the novel, in addition to pass the boring time bus and did not give me what is the impression. After all, is a product of the Internet era, the common features of these through the novel is the lack of meaning outside in addition to YY + bloated structure, and both with Internet impetuous imprint. "New Song" seems to be an exception, then the "New Song" After all, there is only one.
Starting today, re-read the real works of fiction, but chose a favorite sci-fi to the next port. Within a day to "spring Chak Yunmengshan Chung Kun" to the hungry Tower "from" Earth cannon, and then the poem, these novels, the sketch-style sci-fi, but one flash of ideological thought-provoking and promote people Department to see people thinking, heavy silence, humorous Department often make people laugh. Finally could not help but sigh again, large Liu is absolutely the best science fiction writers in contemporary China, there is no one.
