With the gaokao, China's famously gruelling university entrance exams trending, I'm reminded of my translated Chinese #scifi novelette by Zhou Wen, The Girl Who Stole Life, published in May. A story of mirror neurons neurolinguististic tech, and characters motivated by these very pressures. #sff

Having now seen Generation to Generation, there's so much more to it than just the relationship between the leads as the trailer led one to think, it's brilliant with a lot of cool #Wuxia themes, tropes and innovations, I will be writing about it. #fantasy #Cdrama

I talked about this #Cdrama based on 关心则乱‘s wuxia novel when it was filming, it's about to premier! A story of enduring love caught in the cruelty and chaos of jianghu. Great posters of the main couple. Looking forward to giving this a try. #books
