介绍:
Well, I'm so glad that I can stand here. It's my great, great honor to win this award. I first would like to thank Ken Liu – he is a great translator of my story. And I'd like to thank Lynn and Michael of the Uncanny magazine who publish my story. And I would like to thank everybody who voted for me. Thank you very much!
I'm not going to say that I'm very surprised of this prize because I already expected it for this scenario. Well, it does not mean that I'm very proud and I think I'm better than anybody else. The truth is that I also expected for another scenario that I'm not winning. I registered for a party called "Hugo Loser's Party" after the ceremony, held by one of my favorite writers. Actually, I almost cannot decide which scenario I'm more looking forward to.
Science fiction writers love to expect all possibilities, whether it's good or bad, it's likely or unlikely. Sometimes, you will hear the science fiction writers talk about the strategies to face aliens, on the dining table, seriously. We just live in all possible scenarios. We live in all the parallel universes.
Back to my story, Folding Beijing, I also give a scenario of a possible future. All human nowadays have to face the problems of automation, the technological development, unemployment, and also inequality and other issues. In my story, I give one of the solutions, a quite dark one. Obviously, it's not the optimal one. However, it's also not the worst one. At least in my stories, people are not have to…people do not have to starve to death, and the government do not send the poor young people to the war field, which always happen in the reality. I don't know what will happen in the true future. But I do hope that the real future will be brighter than my story.
Thanks for everyone. Thanks to my husband, my parents, my daughter, and also my friends for all the supports you've brought me all these years. You are my strength and my endless love. Thank you!
