Zhao Haihong is the first female science fiction writer to win the special prize of the China Science Fiction Galaxy Award. The stories included in the novel "South Island Starry Sky" were created from 1999 to 2017, spanning a span of 18 years. It is her creative exploration of diversified styles in addition to the "Mo" series, "Lingbo World" and "Mars Series" novels. The twelve stories involve various fields such as parallel universes, body memory, artificial intelligence, and weather control. They outline the rich possibilities of history and the future and the changing human hearts behind the technology. The stories are ups and downs and emotionally moving. Among them, "Sloughing" won the 2001 science fiction "Galaxy Award". The English version was published in the American LCRW magazine in 2010 and republished in "Lightspeed" in 2014. The Korean version was published in the Korean online fantasy magazine "Mirror"; "Baby Baby I Love You" won the 2002 science fiction "Galaxy Award" reader award; "1923 Science Fiction Stories" was selected to be published by Columbia University in the United States. "The Reincarnated Giant: An Anthology of Twenty-First-Century Chinese Science Fiction, 2018" was published by the publishing house in 2018 and edited by Song Mingwei and Theodore Huters. The latest short story "The Starry Sky of the South Island" was prepared by the author for seven years and was written to commemorate the 20th anniversary of publishing science fiction. After being published in "Science Fiction World" in 2017, the English version was published in "Asimov's Science Fiction", the top American science fiction publication, in March 2019. As "non-mainstream" in the author's creation, the twelve novels included in this book put aside the burden of constructing the world of the series, and the pursuit of literary nature can be maximized.
