The Science Fiction New Year Gala is an innovative combination of modern, surreal concepts with traditional cultural symbols, offering a space for sci-fi creations with a festive flair. It brings together stars of the literary world and challenges – and celebrates – their genius by tasking them with writing stories centered on themes related to the Spring Festival. To find out more about the gala, CGTN interviewed Ji Shaoting, founder of sci-fi startup Future Affairs Administration, who also hosted the event.
