About This Novel
"Subway" is the classic opening chapter of the "Orbital Trilogy" by Han Song, a representative Chinese science fiction writer. It consists of five relatively independent but echoing chapters: "The Last Shift" is about civil servant Lao Wang who glimpses many strange dwarfs in the subway and puts all the people on the train into bottles and transports them away; in "The Shock", another subway enters the endless running tunnel, and the passengers crowded in the carriage change from human to non-human, and "evolve" or "transform" into New species; "Symbol" depicts a seemingly near future. In order to explore the mystery of the subway, a group of people enter the ruined subway tunnel, and roughly understand that the "subway" project hosted by the corporatized government is actually a catastrophic event in the process of "cosmicization"; "Paradise" depicts the surviving post-human species in the subway, trying to return to the paradise on earth, but the evolved rats have already taken over the ruins of mankind...
