Question

【題目】 Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination (想象) better than Chinese sci-fi (科幻小說) writer Liu Cixin. Until years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computerengineer. He only wrote science fiction after work. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life---wander (漫步) in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away. But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t thought of becoming the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award. In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens coming to the Earth. And in The Wandering Earth. Liu shows us the day when our planet comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, Liu’s works, which aren’t simply daydreams, are popular among the people who are unsure of the future. “People are locked in this small box of reality (現(xiàn)實(shí)), but science fiction is a way to open our minds”, said Liu.
