Opis
China + 100 poses a simple question to ten Chinese writers: what might your country look like in the year 2119 – a century after the first outbreak of Covid-19?
How might this event – which triggered a global health crisis – reach across a century of technological progress, social engineering, and medical advances, to shape the country and its people? Will the lessons of the pandemic have been learned? Will the people's trust in science have been repaired?
Covering a range of contexts, from transhumanist performance art to lawless dystopia, these stories use the prism of the future to inspect both intergenerational repercussions from the 2019 outbreak and imagined future pandemic scenarios. Along the way, we encounter concrete-devouring superfungi, deep-space outbreaks, slum clearances dressed up as ‘quarantine measures’, and science-defying rumours spreading faster than any virus. At heart, each story provides a moving testimony to the loss that the entire country experienced, its people’s resilience, and the trauma that has yet to be fully unpacked.
Featuring translations by Xueting C. Ni, Jack Hargreaves, Yahia Ma, Gigi Chang, Christopher MacDonald, Judith Huang, Andrew Rule and Mel Etvolare Lee.
