The Wandering Earth and Folding Beijing

[Lin Kuang]

Professor Bernards explored the themes in the stories by Chinese Hugo awards winners, Liu Cixin and Hao Jingfang to understand modern China and its developemnts, which is very impressive. Themes explored in the stories, such as global warming, floating populations, self-sacrificing parents, unwanted baby girls, etc to help us look at China in different perspectives through reading and analyzing Chinese literature via his variety. He also inserted lots of  stories, movies, pictures with detailed information related for us to use them righ away. Self-sacrificing parents are surrounding me. Ny high school sboolamates just landed here in Arcadia in order to help their only child for his btter outsomes. THe mother retired ahead of time from her govenment position, and the father is monitoring his Trading Company online.
