Creative characteristics

Narrative characteristics

Liu Jicheng described the tense rhythm and vivid plot of classical science fiction, and used seemingly unpretentious language to render the great power of science and nature.

Liu is good at shaping the industrialization process and science and technology into a powerful force, and his works are full of heroic feelings. For example, in the novel The Wandering Earth, grand themes such as natural disasters, scientific and technological progress, and the cosmic dilemma of human existence are integrated, and the earth has to make a tragic expedition to escape from the solar system because of the destruction of the sun.

Characters and emotions

Liu's novels inherited the law of characterization in classical science fiction, that is, both technical experts and ordinary people must be pushed to the elite stage to change the world in social transformation.

For example, in "Glory and Dreams", the protagonist Sinni ignited glory and dreams at the cost of his life. The most touching part of the work is the final marathon. The author pushes the hero's spiritual strength to the extreme by crossing memory with reality.

Description and creativity

In terms of description, Liu's works often have the literary characteristics of "space opera" in Britain and America or classic science fiction in the Soviet Union. His works have grand scenes and delicate descriptions, which even make people feel Tolstoy's epic atmosphere: the positive description of the big scenes, the ultimate questioning of good and evil, and the face-to-face complexity of the world, but at the same time, the pursuit of simplicity and truth is retained.

In Immortal Death, Liu described the end of the solar system in this way: an instrument "two-way foil" shaped like a small piece of paper changed the basic structure of time and space, and the whole solar system began to fall from three dimensions to two dimensions, gradually becoming a detailed picture.

This description is magnificent and difficult to grasp, but it is also serious in logic and details, which makes readers feel extremely shocked.
