They saw the Earth Engine up close. It was a metal mine that stood out in front of people and occupied half of the sky. Compared with it, the Taihang Mountains to the west were as small as a hillside.
The protagonist has never seen the night, I have never seen the stars, I have never seen spring, autumn and winter. He was born at the end of the Brake Age, when the earth had just stopped rotating and they called the earth the Sun Age.
Looking at the earth from that era, it is indeed a very glorious era. The protagonist has never seen the sun, so he has a great yearning for the sun in his heart. Calling the earth the solar era further illustrates their hope for the sun.
It's so short. If you buy it, just support Da Liu. The movie just borrowed the background, it is a completely original story.
Is it genuine? I've seen a movie similar to this Chapter 2, can anyone tell me about it?
Why do I always have tears in my eyes? It's because I love this land so deeply.
Like. Liu's novels always dare to imagine and be unconstrained.
When flowers again hang on branches I wonder if you Will still think of mine Wandering Earth
When survival is above all else, when sacrifice has become the norm, when the continuation of life has become a responsibility, what kind of hell will the world be then? Liu Cixin's writing style is as clear as ever, using simple language and a peaceful attitude to describe the darkest years, as if an old man who has seen everything in the world is reminiscing about his life. I just feel that the characteristics of each character are not outstanding. After reading the whole story, I am not very impressed, and the plot does not have many surprises. Especially the uprising at the end is a bit abrupt, giving people a feeling of being forced to express sorrow for new words, and the plot is not yet grasped and advanced. Compared with the famous long-form Three-Body Problem, it is indeed inferior at all levels and needs further refinement.
It's just a process, nothing thrilling happened.
Nothing shocking
Scary to think about
At first, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city, until this disaster was closely related to everyone.
