Works

The City of Silence

His short storyThe City of Silence was translated into English by science fiction writer Ken Liu. [5] 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.
