Pessoptimist About China's Future: Scientific Progress and Social Harmony in Hospital by Han Song and Nova by Cao Fei
This paper analyses the critical responses to the official Chinese Communist Party narratives of scientific progress and social harmony found in Han Song's 韩松 2016 novel Hospital (医院, Yiyuan ) and Cao Fei's 曹斐 2019 film Nova (新星, Xin xing ). Both works challenge the state's vision of a technologically determined, utopian future. The study explores how these texts subvert the official discourse by critically examining four thematic areas: the rela…
Two sides of the mirror: Contesting social orders with Chinese art heterotopias

This paper aims to show that Xi ti Zhong yong can provide a unified explanatory framework for these two apparently distinct theories. Second, we show that Xi ti Z…

Some writers who represent the advent of online literature (wangluo wenxue) still enjoy best-selling and long-selling status. Despite that, the wide readership of such authors as Anni Baobei, Han Han or Murong Xuecun has not been followed by significant academic interest. This…
