LOCUS AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST ANTHOLOGY

Sixteen short stories from China's groundbreaking science fiction writers, edited and translated by award-winning author Ken Liu.

In Hugo award-winner Liu Cixin's 'Moonlight, ' a man is contacted by three future versions of himself, each trying to save their world from destruction. Hao Jingfang's 'The New Year Train' sees 1,500 passengers go missing on a train that vanishes into space. In the title story by Tang Fei, a young girl is shown how the stars can reveal the future.

In addition, three essays explore the history and rise of Chinese science fiction publishing, contemporary Chinese fandom, and how the growing interest in Chinese SF has impacted writers who had long laboured in obscurity.

Great and Practical Organizer — Keeps My Sink Area Neat
Color: Black
I bought this HOKEMOM kitchen sink organizer to keep my sink area tidy, and it has worked perfectly. It’s compact yet spacious enough to hold my sponge, dish soap, brushes, and other kitchen essentials. The drip tray is especially useful because it prevents water from pooling and keeps everything dry and clean. The material feels sturdy and durable, and it doesn’t look like it will rust easily with daily use. Since I placed it on my sink, the whole area looks much more organized and clutter-free. Simple product, but extremely functional!

Game changer
Color: Black
This kitchen sink organizer has been a game changer for my countertop! It’s sturdy, well-made, and fits perfectly next to my sink. The multiple compartments are ideal for keeping sponges, scrub brushes, dish soap, and even scrub pads neatly organized and within reach. I was able to clear up so much clutter around my sink area it looks so much cleaner and more functional now. I love the rust-proof design and the drainage holes on the bottom that keep everything dry instead of sitting in water.

Perfect Size and Highly Practical
Color: Black
This sink organizer with sponge and brush holder is the size I was looking for. The non-slip, drain-free base keeps everything dry and in place. Having my sponges and brushes within easy reach makes the sink area much more organized, and it fits perfectly without taking up too much space I like the quality. It has genuinely made my kitchen feel tidier and more efficient.

Very good quality
Color: Black
It is easy to assemble and works great with my soap, sponge and scrub brush. And it stands stable on the counter beside the faucet. I think the materials used are of good quality and should last a long time.
