Fall of Civilization

Description：
The "Great Dreamer" sci-fi classic series includes four works: "Fall of Civilization,""The Space War,""The Lovers Farewell," and "The Whale Rider." Since Liu Cixins "The Three-Body Problem" won the Hugo Award and the domestic sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth" gained popularity, Chinese sci-fi literature, once quiet, has entered a vibrant and flourishing era. Many works have been included in language textbooks and frequently appear in middle and high school language exams.
Chen Qiufan, Zhang Ran, Bao Shu, and AQue, four visionary young sci-fi writers, are recognized as leaders of Chinas sci-fi golden generation. Their works differ from the historical context and knowledge systems of Wang Jinkang and Liu Cixin, offering more innovative and imaginative insights that cater to the tastes of new-generation readers.
"Song of Earth" is a collection of sci-fi works characterized by Bao Shus space epic, featuring ten captivating stories: "Ancient Song of Earth,""Amnesty Experiment,""Flowing Years,""Forget-Me-Not,""Flirting,""Master Zhao,""Ghost Trio,""Spring Story,""Ba Lin," and "Still in the Mirror." These stories depict millennia-long interstellar journeys, where people, confined in the narrow environment of a spaceship for generations, maintain their faith to preserve their will.
