Works

The City of Silence

His short storyThe City of Silence was translated into English by science fiction writer Ken Liu and appeared in the anthology Invisible Planets published by Head of Zeus in November 2016.^[5][6] That translation is truer to the original author's intent then the Chinese version, which was self-censored. Ironically, the theme of that story is censorship; the setting of the Chinese version is fictional version of the New York City, while the English version takes place in a more neutral "Capital of the State", more easily invoking the comparison with China, that the author intended.^[7]
