Welcome to The Worlds of Cixin Liu, a series of graphic novels created by 35 artists – including writers, illustrators and colourists – from 13 countries, to salute the unique imagination of China's science fiction grandmaster. Bombs fall through the night sky and the city of Belgrade burns. Its citizens huddle in basements, terrified for their lives. In the heart of the city, two men keep watch from a rooftop. But they are not afraid. For they have a plan. Scientist Aleksandar has developed a program that can trigger major atmospheric change across the world – and he needs his friend Reznik's help to run it. If they can find the right point, Aleksandar believes they might trigger a change powerful enough to disrupt the destruction of his country. Like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings can create hurricanes at thousands of miles' distance, Aleksandar's actions will have far-reaching repercussions. But will they be enough?

In 1940's, during the Second World War, they meet each other on the bending shore of the magic, eternal river Yangtze. She falls in love with the much younger stranger. However, he can't love her back, and she can't love him if she would have known why he has hunted her down all over China to tell her a dark secret...BUTTERFLY is a haunting, ghostly love story a la Romeo and Juliet of the Orient, a love that cannot be but a love that will grow old during the most devastating war in history. "A shamelessly original work of art that you can read legally outside China." New Beijing Voice"A tour de force." Leanne Delehanty, author and visual artist"A refreshing pallet of colours. A subtle undercurrent of prose." Ashish Anant, Out of the Blue"This is the kind of book that you read from cover to cover and when you are done, it changes you. Transforms you. From Cover to Cover." Priyanka Dey, Neverland [...] reminds you of the joy of discovering a treasure, and wondering why there aren't a few hundred-thousand more who have already found it before you. Gabriel Ricardo, Unlikely stories.[...] has all the essential ingredients that makes a bestseller. There never seems to be a damp moment with the right choice of words. Creative EcstasyHistory is written only once, so is Butterfly by Julie O'Yang. Young ChronicleSet against the backdrop of the SecondWorld War/Sino-Japanese war (1931-1945), the story centres around the fatal love between a married Chinese woman and a young Japanese soldier. However, the fantastic tale is not as simple as its plot suggests. In the forties of the 20th century, one summer day, on the bending shore of the magical, eternal river Yangtze, a woman meets a young stranger she falls in love with. But he can't love her back, and she can't love him if she would have known what kind of cruel crime the young man has committed...BUTTERFLY is a modern fairy tale that explores passion beyond all forbidden boundaries and love tested to its limits to defy even death. Taking a stab at sensitive historical, social issues such as the Rape of Nanking, the question arises, what is love? Where is the salvation in all the heartlessness of mankind? Are we able to love, a deed that is so often taken for granted? Perhaps love is neither simple nor always pleasant or even inhuman. In the end the protagonists have to undergo a metamorphosis in order to be reunited again on the bank of the Yangtze River, where they met seven decades ago.

"We’re mysterious aliens in the crowd. We jump like fleas from future to past and back again, and float like clouds of gas between nebulae; in a flash, we can reach the edge of the universe, or tunnel into a quark, or swim within a star-core. . . . We’re as unassuming as fireflies, yet our numbers grow like grass in spring. We sci-fi fans are people from the future."—Cixin Liu, from the essay "Sci-Fi Fans" A VIEW FROM THE STARS features a range of short works from the past three decades of New York Times bestselling author Cixin Liu's prolific career, putting his nonfiction essays and short stories side-by-side for the first time. This collection includes essays and interviews that shed light on Liu's experiences as a reader, writer, and lover of science fiction throughout his life, as well as short fiction that gives glimpses into the evolution of his imaginative voice over the years. "Science fiction without guile, without snark, without ironic disaffection and all its exhausting modern baggage. It just asks what would happen? Waits for someone to answer. And then it asks again."—NPR on the works of Cixin Liu At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

This play dramatizes one of China's most popular folktales, which is often dubbed as the Chinese Romeo and Juliet. In the story set in the fourth century AD, the Chinese Juliet is Zhu Yingtai (please note that the Chinese name order puts the surname first), who cross-dresses in order to attend the boys-only Nishan Academy (similar to today's prep school and/or liberal arts college). Yingtai falls in love with an altruistic and diligent classmate, Liang Shanbo, and Shanbo also loves Yingtai, but unaware of Yingtai's female identity, he just cherishes their friendship. In the meantime, a headstrong but emotionally fragile classmate, Ma Wentsai, sees through Yingtai's disguise and falls for her, though he often comes across like a bully and annoys her. Wentsai is Governor Ma's only son. Even though Yingtai is never attracted to Wentsai, her father forces her to marry him, because that's the only way to write off the debt the Zhu family owes Governor Ma and cannot afford to pay back. To keep her family from going bankrupt, Yingtai has to accept the Ma family's proposal. By this time, Shanbo has already learned that Yingtai is actually a girl. Overjoyed with excitement, Shanbo immediately goes to Yingtai's house to propose, but then he only gets to see a tearful Yingtai, who breaks the bad news to him...In the end, Shanbo and Yingtai die for each other just like Romeo and Juliet. Their souls turn into a pair of beautiful butterflies. This is a timeless love story every native speaker of Chinese around the globe is familiar with, and it has been adapted into numerous Chinese language plays, movies, and TV dramas. However, there are very few English versions of the story, among which this play stands out for uniquely incorporating some of today's teen issues, such as self-confidence, school bullying, and tolerance, into the plot. The play also includes elegant English translations of famous quotes from the Analects of Confucius, as well as instructions on how to play the world-renowned and mesmerizing Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto as background music. Those who have listened to the violin concerto will especially find this play fascinating. As romantic as the violin concerto, this play is a must-read to anyone interested in the world's greatest love stories of all time.

The late-imperial legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the "Butterfly Lovers"--a story as central to Chinese culture as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is to Western culture--also relates a tale of two lovers help apart by social strictures. To audiences of the many Chinese ballads, plays, and films based on the story, the tragic ending offers proof that equality and happiness can only be achieved in a China freed from the traditional family system. This volume offers translations of the earliest versions of the popular ballad along with later literary reinventions of the tale; a variety of related documents reveal the historical and cultural origins of the legend. In his Introduction, Wilt L. Idema provides essential contextual information and discusses how the story of the Butterfly Lovers fits into modern Chinese concepts of gender roles and sexual freedom.
