Sushin Lou has won China's Galaxy Award like nine times. Some of the writers Lou translates to use the framework of science fiction to explore the dystopian consequences of China's rapid economic and technological transformation. So a lot like the Twilight Zone Star Trek genre of science fiction here where you use the distant future as a metaphor for stuff that's happening now but with a more ominous backdrop. And that yeah, some of that is going to be fine by the people in Chinese government reading those books and some of it is not.
