Blood Child

Only when a woman's story becomes unfamiliar enough can a woman's pain be truly shocking. This is a woman's life.

It may be the first pioneering article about Zerg➕human (both men and women) pregnancy and childbirth... Judging from the time when the author published it, he was really at the forefront of the times.

As the author said, the story of the integration of three themes makes people realize the situation of systemic exploitation and disempowerment. It is a short and magnificent story. Recommended modern Internet style: Alien X Male, GB, under the rule of aliens, it seems that people are all in the same situation. At this moment, the topic of fertility among humans is not limited to gender.

I saw the explanation of this article on site b, and then I came here to read it. It was shocking, but a bit incomprehensible. Some of the sentences looked wrong and uncomfortable, but I didn't know why. Maybe I read less books. The B-site blogger said something like this: When people are in a weak position in a relationship, whether they are men or women, they will show the characteristics of longing for love, self-deception, self-paralysis, and forcing themselves to do certain things. The deep needs under these surfaces are mainly to gain recognition and determine their own value from the stronger party, as well as some psychological security to alleviate the anxiety and uneasiness generated in the power-oppressive structure. The act of longing for love is also a compensation and psychological balance for unequal relationships. —A blogger at Station B

"Blood Child" is really shocking in my opinion. Just like the author said, why do you think I am writing about lashing out the slavery system? I am clearly writing about love. The Tilik tribe keeps humans in captivity, and men are also given the ability to "reproductive". Gunn can sympathize with the father who "gives birth" three times, but why doesn't he sympathize with the mother?

When I watched "Blood Child", I felt a bit like watching an episode of Love Dead where humans are lost in the universe and the Zerg weave dreams for humans. There is a feeling of being lost and not belonging. As the postscript says, in a strange world, what will humans sacrifice in order to stay alive? From this point of view, this short story is actually a hymn to human courage. I think male giving birth is not the focus of this novel, it is just an eye-catching breakthrough point. It is mainly to show that human beings have to change their original social form in order to survive in a strange world. If you stick to a single male giving birth to a child or a female giving birth, you will not be able to understand the author's thinking. As a piece of soft science fiction, this book's description of the pull of human nature (or insect nature) is very powerful and is worth reading.

This book may be unremarkable now, but when you think about it being written in that era, you will feel shocked.

"It was meant to be this miserable. It's just that you shouldn't have seen it, that's all. His own Tilik master should have done it. She would sting him unconscious, so the process wouldn't be so painful. But she still had to cut open his belly and take out the larvae. If one was left behind, the larvae would poison him and eat him from the inside out." Highly recommend watching Blood Child!

A book that is very suitable for women to read. The descriptions are also very good. It is really ironic.

This is a great book. It is based on the interpretation of B-war. It is really advanced. In a sense, it is very similar to the situation in ancient times where men were superior to women. Women were also captive slaves in some cases. The domination of humans by bugs who have conquered them also fits well with women in marital distress. I am very happy to read this book.

When I first saw that the pronoun for the protagonist was "she", I was initially angry because I thought men didn't even have the courage to face such pain. Later, I actually understood a little bit. Maybe "she" refers to the plight of women, so no matter the gender, it is "she".

This is a book worth reading, and it will always trigger different thoughts while reading it. Science fiction seems to be far away from real life but is rooted in reality, whether it is the expression of fertility, power status and alien races in "Blood Child" or the depiction and extension of different diseases (various diseases) in subsequent stories. They all have extraordinary significance. It is worth re-reading. If I have the chance, I will look for a chance to read it again, carefully evaluate the thoughts that each short story brings to me, and record them. This may be regarded as my "different kind of enthusiasm" for this idea - also called obsession.

Renwai, interstellar, 4i, Zerg, sadomasochism

Humans wanted to escape from human enslavement, but were instead trapped in captivity. They never had the right to choose their reproduction. As long as the Tilik people thought about it, they would always be numb and breed bugs. Is this a different kind of slavery? Also, what is the difference between the last conversation between the two and the male and female protagonists of ancient sadistic novels? They were brainwashed and kept in captivity. The weak wanted to ask the high dwellers with love. In fact, what they wanted to ask was whether they could still live. It was just that the genders were reversed and the power was transferred to females, but humans were still oppressed. It's so awesome!

Blood babies are great, and we all need to face the consequences of childbearing before making decisions. In addition to childbirth, it is also quite interesting to see the author write about the possibility of men facing being parasitized and giving birth (including the male protagonist's brother's attitude of "a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist", and the male protagonist's petty (?) Quarrel with the female protagonist, hahaha). In addition to this article, I also really like the setting of Noah's article: when faced with alien species that are completely crushed by force (even very peaceful ones), the attitude of humans is also very interesting. I recommend watching [Sending Hearts]

Women are never a gender, but a dilemma

Can true love grow in an unequal relationship? Is "everything you give" in this kind of love a form of emotional control? The protagonist finally chose to give birth to a Zerg child, even though he had glimpsed a glimpse of the truth. What about men and women in reality? Are the choices we make really voluntary?

It's really amazing. It's a pity that my words can't express my love. Blood Child is such a good book. But to be honest, you really need to have a preliminary understanding of society and women before you can understand it. Otherwise, you will only find it "novel", "curious" and "funny". But while reading, you will also think about the kind of society we live in. It is really thought-provoking. This book has no meal replacement. It is the best science fiction novel I have ever read. I remember that I also wrote science fiction in high school, but it is really far behind this book. That's why I won the award. It's really, really great. It's worth watching and worth thinking about.

This book only read the part about the blood child, which is simply shocking. Although I read it out of curiosity due to the video recommended by a certain audio channel, this chapter alone is so shocking. I just calmed down for a while and started to think about what it would be like if I were Chinese? I am already thinking about uniting against humanity and defeating the bugs. The author's world is too small to cover the outer circle. There may be a war between the bugs and the humans. Hiding in the crowd, after all, everything has its spirit. Mutually reinforcing each other, there must be something annoying about the Zerg. It's a pity that it was written by a foreigner. Maybe it's foreigners who write books, but what about us Chinese? Is it true that we Chinese will destroy our civilization? No, we won't. We will resist in war, fight to the end, and seek development through unity, confrontation, and cooperation. But the writing is quite real. That kind of helplessness, that kind of consciousness that has been instilled since childhood. It's really terrible. Sometimes it is really powerless. After all, the power of an individual is still too small. Since ancient times, war has been a group of people fighting against a group of people. In fact, I am very lucky to live in this era where everything can be found, done and implemented.

I only read the Blood Child article. It was very shocking and meaningful. I recommend all female friends to read it.

Read more books to awaken your consciousness, so that your thoughts will not be erratic and easily shaken, and you will learn to think.

For thousands of years, women's childbirth pain has been ignored. Even in modern times, women's childbirth pain still exists even with advanced medical technology. Women have been disciplined by their families and society since they were young: girls will always get married and have children when they grow up. Women's childbearing is considered to be a right and a necessity, while being unmarried and infertile is discriminated against by society and will be said to be anti-human. When some people popularize fertility risks, others say they are spreading fertility anxiety... How ridiculous can this world be [laughs]

I've read it before, and now I'm reading it again. Oops, I only read one article and I don't want to spend money. "Blood Child" is really a good story, but it's a pity that too few people have read it. But it may not be useful if you have read it, as long as you don't forget it.

The whole article reads very smoothly and the story is very novel. The opening story and the ending are my favorite chapters. The chapter of "blood child" makes people think deeply. Whether in novels or in reality, no one has ever faced up to the cost of reproduction hidden under the birth of life. The subject of childbirth seems to have a choice, but he never really has the right to choose. From the moment he is born, his destiny has been determined.

It is indeed a masterpiece!

Very good, forward thinking

Very in-depth and worth reading

Great book

Very interesting and wonderful

Personally, I think the ideas in it were very advanced at that time and even now.
