“In reading Western science fiction, Chinese readers discover the fears and hopes of Man, the modern Prometheus, for his destiny, which is also his own creation. Perhaps Western readers can also read Chinese science fiction and experience an alternative Chinese modernity and be inspired to imagine an alternative future.”

“The future is full of uncertainties, and it is as hard to say it will be better as it is to say it will be worse. In a few decades, I don't know if anyone will still remember how to chant ancient poems, but I do know that in every passing moment, the people in every house - men, women, old, young - are living lives as meaningful as they're ordinary.”

“The course of history is like this river, coming a long way from its origin, flowing from upstream to downstream. No matter how much it splits and converges in between, it will eventually end up meeting the ocean. To those living in this world thousands of years later, would the life and death of a few people, a few cities, and even a few kingdoms make a difference?”
