The fourth of the four great kings of Chinese science fiction.
Born in 1965 in Chongqing. Bachelor of Arts and Master of Laws from Wuhan University. He joined Xinhua News Agency in 1991 and has served as reporter, deputy editor-in-chief and executive editor of "Oriental Outlook Weekly" magazine, deputy external director and deputy director of the Central News Gathering Center, editorial board member of "China Army" magazine, visiting professor of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and expert with special allowances from the State Council. He has won the Galaxy Award for Science Fiction, the Nebula Award for Chinese Science Fiction, the World Chinese Science Fiction Art Award, and the Jingdong Literature Award.
The world in Han Song's eyes is gloomy, sad, and desperate, and his works are full of weirdness, absurdity, darkness, blood, and violence... With Kafka's gloomy despair, nightmarish irrationality, nightmare atmosphere, and cold tone, he constructs a very unique and profound fictional time and space as a reflection of human historical and cultural psychology.
🕵🕵🕵
No1. "Red Ocean" (2004). Known as "China's best science fiction literary work in the past 20 years", subversive text, shocking new world, and jaw-dropping moral standards are concentrated in an epic science fiction novel. Life is very monotonous, but people are very complicated. Due to the existence of chance, our efforts to explore the meaning of life are just dust in the universe, that's all.
No2. "Hospital Trilogy". The world is ruled by artificial intelligence, patients have become part of the algorithm, drug wars have replaced nuclear wars, and the evil in people's subconsciousness has been aroused. Artificial intelligence has begun to understand human nature and the human condition... Exploring the medical secrets of the artificial intelligence era and thinking about the cosmic changes in life and human nature are called "milestones of dystopia in the new era."
No3. "Cosmic Tombstone". There are two parts: the first part is about a tombstone scholar who spent his whole life studying cosmic tombstones that are considered taboo by the world, but ultimately found nothing; the second part is about a tombmaker who spent his whole life making tombstones in space, and finally died in the tomb he built with his own hands.
No4. "Journey to the West in 2066". On the eve of the end of the Internet era, the great flood blew the spell bagpipes, and new humans quietly appeared in the ruins, dragging their long-haired tails and raising their mechanical heads. Spirit wands, Kennedy birds, sour-smelling Go chess, and the Pokemon gather under the lime tree. There is also a dark language that dominates the world, which is a collection of computer language, English, and ancient Tibetan. Infrasonic cannons make people laugh and talk, while the unknown flashes of light in the night sky silence people. The strength in strength is gone, but what is it that keeps going in cycles? When the weapons of time have also become rusty, let us use our feet as hands to lift the stone tools again!
No5. "Recycled Bricks". Inspired by the Wenchuan Earthquake: After the earthquake, architects mixed ruins, wheat straw and dead bodies to create new building materials and won international awards. Those recycled bricks containing the souls of the dead began to become popular around the world. People became obsessed with them, so much so that they expected and looked for new disasters, and even spread artificial microorganisms on alien planets to cause destruction.
