Works
The City of Silence
His short story The City of Silence depicts a state in which surveillance is some omnipresent that most people live in silence and solitude in acquiescence to the control of state-managed listening systems and computers.[5]: 197
It was translated into English by science fiction writer Ken Liu and appeared in the anthology Invisible Planets published by Head of Zeus in November 2016.[6][7] That translation is truer to the original author's intent than the Chinese version, which was self-censored. Ironically, the theme of that story is censorship; the setting of the Chinese version is a fictional version of New York City, while the English version takes place in a more neutral "Capital of the State", more easily invoking the comparison with China than the author intended.[8]
