[RESOURCE] List of EN translated Chinese SF

[geraineon]

The motivation for this is mostly because I wanted to have a neat list somewhere of CN SF short stories/novelettes translated into EN that are free to read. Turns out there's already a list, so I'll share that list and a few other things not listed there:

List of Chinese SF in translation

It shares the same page with Catalan works in translation so just scroll down. If it's available to read, you will see a link next to the title.

Some of the links are broken, and some do not have links though they are available online, and turns out I found a few more that are not on the list so here they are:

• City of Choice (择城), by Gu Shi (顾适), translated by Ken Liu: Climate Action Almanac


• Limbo (生死域), by Hao Jingfang (郝景芳), translated by Ursula D. Friedman: Modern Chinese Literature and Culture


• Mothership Comes to the Heart of the Ocean (母舰来到大海中央), by Gu Shi (顾适), translated by Ken Liu: Climate Action Almanac


• Oblivion is a Crease Left by Memory (遗忘是一道记忆的折痕), by Chen Qiufan (陈楸帆), translated by Ken Liu: Flight #008, link to archived site


• Poems and Distant Lands (为了生命的诗与远方), by Gu Shi (顾适), translated by Ken Liu: Current Futures: A Sci-Fi Ocean Anthology, link to archived site


• The Flower of Shazui (沙嘴之花), by Chen Qiufan (陈楸帆), translated by Ken Liu: Reprinted by Strange Horizons


• The Right to Be Invisible (隐身权), by Han Song (韩松), translated by Ken Liu: the PEN America translation magazine

And here are some other related things I found:

• Another Word: Chinese Science Fiction Going Abroad — A Brief History of Translation, by Regina Kanyu Wang


• What Makes Chinese Science Fiction Chinese? by Xia Jia, translated by Ken Liu

Hope you enjoy!

ooo nice, I'm gonna add both that link and a link to this post to my baihe/danmei list. (I know this isn't a list of those, but I've got a general "honorable mentions" list there too).

Which reminds me - I know I'd originally said I was only updating the Tumblr version. That's not true anymore, I'm now keeping the version on the DPP webpage up-to-date too. It's here.
