Young science fiction authors gathered in Shenzhen. Starting from August 12, the one-week "Kunpeng" Youth Science Fiction Literature Award 2024 Charity Summer Camp will be launched. This is a juvenile literature feast based in Shenzhen and radiating across the country. Science fiction literature teenagers from all over the country gathered at Shenzhen Wansi Future Museum, and a vivid journey about science, literature and imagination also kicked off. In the first two days of the
summer camp, students listened to sharings, teachings and guidance from well-known science fiction writers, scientists, and education experts, and visited science and technology museums and high-tech enterprises to further refine and integrate creative inspiration. In the process of improving their works, they also shared their world views in science fiction works with Nandu reporters.
Excellent science fiction novels can generate "secondary creations" of readers
"When science fiction novels build a world view, they must enrich the world view, so they must set game rules. These game rules may be natural The relationship between the environment and people may also be the relationship between different classes or different populations in it." Ma Chuansi, a science fiction writer and winner of the National Outstanding Children's Literature Award, guided students on how to construct a self-consistent "game" in science fiction works. "Rules", "How to construct rules? First, after setting the world view, you must enrich the world view you set through game rules. Second, the setting of game rules must be based on surprise and reality. Ma Guobin, founder and chairman of the Science and Fantasy Growth Fund, started from science fiction film and television works, leading students to appreciate the works, study the works, and draw creative nutrition from high-quality works. How can a science fiction work attract readers and viewers? He mentioned three aspects: credibility, immersion and interactivity. "Excellent science fiction novels can always inspire readers to create derivative or fan fiction, and many excellent fan creations also have the effect of 'completing' the imaginary world." Ma Guobin believes that excellent science fiction novels can derive readers' "second thoughts" second creation".
Wang Kedong, a professor at Southern University of Science and Technology, said that science fiction works must follow basic scientific laws and hopes that young authors can develop their imaginations based on a deep understanding of scientific laws. Starting from several classic physics phenomena, he guides young authors to explore the mysteries of the scientific world. Young authors can be inspired to explore the creative space in the microscopic and macroscopic worlds of physics.
Science fiction works can also reflect real-life issues such as modern communication, interpersonal communication, and adolescent parent-child relationships.
Young authors are working hard to find the connection point between science fiction creation and the real world. They find "small openings" for science fiction creation from their personal life insights.
Chen Bochu, a student at Qiaoxiang School of the Experimental Group in Futian District, Shenzhen City, discovered the social alienation of contemporary people. "Nowadays, communication methods are more convenient. It is easy to communicate by making a phone call or making a voice call, so people don't cherish making a phone call." He feels that people often stay at shallow levels of communication and have not really carried out the communication. The in-depth communication ended abruptly. "Our science fiction works should reflect on the inefficient communication of modern people."
extended from real social life. He imagined a science fiction world that uses "faster-light navigation" to communicate. "I am ten light years away from you here. Suppose, I call you in the morning and ask you if you have breakfast? You will reply to me 10 years later, and you will say to me 20 years later, just saying "have you eaten", this is invalid communication. " Chen Bochu believes that in the future "interstellar world", two individuals "talking", one may be on Jupiter and the other may be on Mars, then they need an instant communication method and means that spans time and space. "Super-light communication" may be their means to communicate deeply and form an intimate relationship.
Ao Junyue, a junior high school student at Shenzhen Foreign Languages School, tried to re-understand the parent-child relationship through science fiction works. Her work is based on an earthquake disaster - a child quarreled with his mother, and the child ran away from home. However, he survived the earthquake disaster. As a result, the child, who was unable to extricate himself from regret and sadness, encountered many new encounters. and stories."Actually, my mother and I had a fight some time ago. Our parent-child relationship will inevitably encounter generation gap issues and adolescent issues. I also want to express some kind of 'reconciliation' intention by creating this work."
young authors My own observations and thoughts on society, the world, and the macrocosm have been initially embedded in science fiction works. They have both "big feelings" and "small perspectives." It is really exciting to see what kind of imaginative world their writing will depict.
