Author's invitation: I am Leo Mai, the author of Red Snow. This thread introduces the Chinese edition. For readers of speculative fiction, here are three open questions: Do characters' desires or the imagined world draw you in first? When does loyalty become an excuse to stop judging for oneself? What ambiguities should fiction preserve when faith and power become entangled? English or Chinese replies are welcome; no spoilers are needed.
《红雪》把帝国宫廷、科幻想象与历史寓言放在一起，关注权力、欲望、恐惧与信仰，以及人在这些力量面前如何保存良知。本帖介绍的是中文版。

三个可供交流的问题（无需剧透）：
1. 在寓言式科幻中，你更容易通过人物的欲望，还是通过世界设定进入故事？
2. 小说中的忠诚何时是一种美德，何时又可能成为放弃判断的理由？
3. 当信仰与权力纠缠时，你希望小说保留哪些矛盾，而不是给出简单答案？
