The Wandering Earth: Classic Science Fiction Collection [图书] Goodreads
“The Wandering Earth” is a collection of short stories by Liu Cixin, China's most acclaimed contemporary science-fiction author. Unabashedly classic in the great tradition of Asimov and Clarke, Liu Cixin's science-fiction is firmly rooted in the cosmic. “[most] literature has always left me with the impression of indulging an intense anthropocentric narcissism. […] In the world of literature, the Sun exists for no other reason than to illuminate the pure, unadulterated countryside, the Moon has no other reason to shine than to cast the shadows of the seaside lovers, [but] if the universe is the Sahara, then all that makes the Earth a grain of gold within it, is that a particular bacteria called humanity clinging to its surface.” Liu Cixin uses the unique perspective of science-fiction to take us on a journey into this majestic, desolate cosmos. He gives us the chance to reacquaint ourselves with the fundamental truth that in the face of a vast universe we are no more than a speck of dust; That the Earth is just another celestial body – And an extremely vulnerable one at that. The flash of a gamma-ray burst or the blast of a nearby supernova could, at any moment, reduce our cherished home to nothing but ashes.
It can be terrifying to contemplate the end of our world and stories that describe such destruction can be disturbing. At the same time however, they can leave us feeling not only entertained, but exhilarated and inspired. Maybe, they can even give us a chance to renew our love of life. Most stories found in the “The Wandering Earth” collection take us to a sci-fi vision of Earth's end. But here, there are no Hollywood aliens, descending from the depths of space to blow up our cities. In these futures, the dangers humanity faces are much stranger and whimsical than that. The unexpected calamities that befall his richly detailed worlds are only eclipsed by humanity's epic, but always plausible, attempts to escape destruction.
In all this peril and doom, Liu Cixin always feels for humanity. His stories are full of a deep love for all of Earth's peoples. But even this love does not escape reflection and even ridicule when viewed through his unrelenting cosmic lens. No matter how dearly one loves the Earth, humanity and all its cultures, there is no avoiding the cold, hard truth that they mean absolutely nothing when viewed against the vastness of the universe. But even an infinite universe could not change the simple fact that we are worthy of love, that we need love. It is this twist that lies at the very heart of the stories in this collection.

The Wandering Earth [图书] Goodreads
First published in Science Fiction World, July 2000.
I’ve never seen the night, nor seen a star; I’ve seen neither spring, nor fall, nor winter. I was born at the end of the Reining Age, just as the Earth’s rotation was coming to a final halt.
The Sun is about to unleash a helium flash, threatening to swallow all terrestrial planets in the solar system. On Earth, the Unity Government has erected Earth Engines. With them it plans to propel our planet out of the solar system, setting it on a journey into outer space in search of a new sun. The Earth begins its centuries-long, wandering travels through outer space.
Just as we began our journey, my grandfather passed away, his burnt body ravaged by infection. In his final moments, he repeated over and over, “Oh, Earth, my wandering Earth...”
China Galaxy Science Fiction Award of Year 2000.

Il problema dei tre corpi [图书] Eggplant.place Goodreads
Nella Cina della Rivoluzione culturale, un progetto militare segreto invia segnali nello spazio cercando di contattare intelligenze aliene. E ci riesce: il messaggio viene captato però dal pianeta sbagliato, Trisolaris, l'unico superstite di un sistema orbitante attorno a tre soli, dominato da forze gravitazionali caotiche e imprevedibili, che hanno già arso undici mondi. È quello che i fisici chiamano "problema dei tre corpi", e i trisolariani sanno che anche il loro destino, prima o poi, sarà di sprofondare nella superficie rovente di uno dei soli. A meno di non trovare una nuova casa. Un pianeta abitabile, proprio come il nostro. Trisolaris pianifica quindi un'invasione della Terra. Sul Pianeta azzurro, nel frattempo, l'umanità si divide: come accogliere i visitatori dallo spazio? Combattere gli invasori o aiutarli a far piazza pulita di un mondo irrimediabilmente corrotto?

O Fim da Morte [图书] Goodreads
Com O fim da morte, a aclamada trilogia do autor chinês mais vendido e premiado da ficção científica chega ao fim. Neste terceiro volume, meio século se passou desde a Batalha do Fim do Mundo, e a Terra conquistou um frágil acordo para manter os invasores trissolarianos encurralados. Com ele, uma nova era de paz e prosperidade tem início, e Luo Ji -- o homem que elaborou o acordo, agora conhecido como Portador da Espada -- tem que carregar nas costas a vida de duas civilizações. Enquanto isso, Cheng Xin, uma engenheira aeroespacial do início do século XXI, desperta da hibernação nessa nova época. Luo Ji está velho, e um novo Portador da Espada deve tomar seu lugar. Será que Cheng Xin é capaz de suportar a responsabilidade de manter a Terra em segurança? E por que um antigo projeto, da época da Crise Trissolariana, não sai de sua mente? O destino da humanidade está em jogo -- estará nosso destino nas estrelas, ou permaneceremos no berço de nossa civilização até o fim?
Of Ants and Dinosaurs [图书] Goodreads
A satirical fable, a political allegory and an ecological warning from the author of The Three-Body Problem .
In a sunlit clearing in central Gondwana, on an otherwise ordinary day in the late Cretaceous, the seeds of Earth's first and greatest civilization were sown in the grisly aftermath of a Tyrannosaurus' lunch.
Throughout the universe, intelligence is a rare and fragile commodity – a fleeting glimmer in the long night of cosmic history. That Earth should harbour not just one but two intelligent species at the same time, defies the odds. That these species, so unalike – and yet so complementary – should forge an alliance that kindled a civilization defies logic. But time is endless and everything comes to pass eventually...
The alliance between ants and dinosaurs, was of course, based on dentistry. Yet from such humble beginnings came writing, mathematics, computers, fusion, antimatter and even space travel – a veritable Age of Wonder! But such magnificent industry comes at a price – a price paid first by Earth's biosphere, and then by all those dependent on it.
And yet the Dinosaurs refused to heed the Ants' warning of impending ecological collapse, leaving the Ant Federation facing a single dilemma: destroy the dinosaurs, destroy a civilization... or perish alongside them?
