“Earth is our mother planet ... but for me, Mars is the same."
China is falling in love with space, inspired by the CCP’s increasingly ambitious plans for the solar system.

“You have to leverage the power of films, movies and science fiction to broadcast propaganda and this idea: we need to go there,” said @ChenQiufan, author of #WasteTide, comparing China's rise to prominence in space to the Renaissance.https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780765389312 …
He describes a kind of gold rush now as studios, producers, writers and scientists scramble for plot lines and actors as interest goes into overdrive.
In Anglo scifi, Mars often plays the pristine utopia to Earth’s decrepit dystopia, but not so elsewhere, said @lavietidhar, who was raised on a #kibbutz.

In @lavietidhar's novels “Martian Sands” and “Central Station,” a reborn Soviet Union, China, & Israel flourish on the bleak Martian landscape.
“It’s boring, it’s hot, it’s cramped. A bit like growing up in a kibbutz -– except you can never leave."
.@ChenQiufan explained that after China’s first scifi novel “City of Cats” (1933, set on Mars) the genre died out during the ultra-radical 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, when the U.S.-Soviet space race inspired film studios to release “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Solaris.”
China re-embraced imaginary other worlds w the explosive success of “The Three-Body Problem” by Liu Cixin, 1st published as a magazine serial from 2006 to 2010. In 2015, Liu became the 1st Chinese author to receive the #Hugo Award, scifi’s highest honor.https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/24/liu-cixins-war-of-the-worlds …
As China's space program enters an apogee, the nation's scifi is set to have a wondrous 2021.
Three-Body Problem might get on @netflix via the #GoT series creators & to Chinese fans by Bilibili. Physicist Liu Yang’s “Orphans of the Red Planet,” about high school students on Mars battling hostile aliens, is being turned into a Chinese TV series too.https://fortune.com/2021/01/27/netflix-three-body-problem-death-poisoning-china/ …
