On the afternoon <strong>of</strong> February 29th, the famous science fiction writers including Wang<br />

Jinkang and Liu Cixin, arrived at <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> to make face-to-face<br />

communication with science fiction lovers from more than 10 universities and<br />

colleges in Beijing and Tianjin.<br />

The host was the one-year-old association <strong>of</strong> science fiction, <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>. The<br />

association invited the famous writers and critics <strong>of</strong> science fiction to the activity<br />

when they came to Beijing to participate the rollout <strong>of</strong> the book The Glory <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Universe published by ocean press. The lineup <strong>of</strong> the famous guests attracted a<br />

large number <strong>of</strong> science fiction lovers from Tsinghua <strong>University</strong>, Beijing Aeronautics<br />

& Astronautics <strong>University</strong>, Beijing Normal <strong>University</strong> and so on. Science fiction<br />

associations <strong>of</strong> Nankai <strong>University</strong> and Tianjin <strong>University</strong> also sent their<br />

representatives to participate the activity.<br />

The first section <strong>of</strong> the activity was topic discussion. The writers gave their systemic<br />

opinions about the topics such as science fiction and literature, objects <strong>of</strong> science<br />

fiction and the situation and future <strong>of</strong> Chinese science fiction, and then science<br />

fiction lovers proposed the questions to discuss deeply with them. The writers not<br />

only delivered their special ideas, but also displayed their personal charms.<br />

Surprisingly, the eldest Wang Jinkang announced a striking decision that he would<br />

fade out the composition <strong>of</strong> science fictions.<br />

In the freely asking section, the science fiction lovers competed to put forward their<br />

original ideas. The writer Zheng Jun praised that he saw the hope <strong>of</strong> future Chinese<br />

science fiction from the students.<br />
