Interview with Xie Yunning:
Without considering full-time, science fiction literature is just a hobby
Shortly after the announcement of the 12th Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Awards, on October 29, the cover reporter interviewed Xie Yunning himself, and he mentioned that he "my own work is also quite heavy, and I will not write more than one-third of the days a year." When I have inspiration, I do go to bed early and get up early, about 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock, which is the time when the brain is most awake. I never considered being full-time, and science fiction literature was just a hobby of my own, just like other peers spend their leisure time playing games and mahjong. ”

For the award-winning work "Crossing the Rings of Saturn", Xie Yunning told reporters, "An outer space theme, but also a type of theme that initially attracted me into the field of science fiction and I have always wanted to create, this time I can win the Nebula Award affirmation, indicating that everyone is full of expectations for this kind of subject, and I may continue to dig deeper in this direction." "In Xie Yunning's works, a variety of technologies are integrated, exploring the possibility of space themes under the new technology support." Talking about how to integrate science and literature well in science fiction works, Xie Yunning said, "I belong to the 'hard' faction of science fiction creation, and my novels are derived from science and technology, rather than starting from stories to derive technology. This may be related to the enlightenment of my childhood science fiction predecessors in the 1980s (who insisted more on popular science fiction), I still insist on having enough novel creativity to write, in writing I try to let literature serve scientific creativity, the text is as concise as possible, accurate expression, do not show off. ”
In the current era, the development of science and technology is relatively fast. As a science fiction writer, how does a science fiction writer pay attention to the current technological progress? How did he incorporate what you learned about the frontiers of science and technology into science fiction writing? Xie Yunning said, "I usually remain sensitive enough to pay attention to the development of the latest cutting-edge technology. I have a habit of seeing some kind of technology report that makes some fragmented associations, but I can't expand the story for a while, and I will record these ideas in a folder. On an unexpected day, some ideas may produce some kind of magical collision, bursting out a coherent and complete story. ”
