🚀 Chinese Writers' "Space Confession"

China's literary world recently did something very "Three-Body."

Liu Cixin, Mai Jia, Liu Zhenyun, Ma Boyong, and other prominent Chinese writers participated in an initiative called "Space Confession" — their works will be encoded as data and transmitted into the cosmos via satellite.

Imagine: just like Ye Wenjie at Red Coast Base.

Like Ye Wenjie Sending a Signal

In 1971, Ye Wenjie pressed the button on Red Coast Base's radar peak, sending humanity's first signal into the universe.

Fifty-four years later, a group of Chinese writers did the same thing — transmitting their words into deep space via satellite.

The difference? Ye Wenjie received the Trisolarans' warning: "Don't answer." These writers are sending the voice of Chinese literature.

Participating Writers

- Liu Cixin — "The Three-Body Problem," "The Wandering Earth"

- Mai Jia — "Decoded," "The Message"

- Liu Zhenyun — "Someone to Talk To"

- Ma Boyong — "The Longest Day in Chang'an"

Why This Matters

The symbolic weight of this action far exceeds its practical purpose — but it touches on a core theme of the Three-Body universe:

If another civilization out there receives these words, what would they think of the people on this tiny blue planet?

For Three-Body fans, this is a moment where fiction bleeds into reality. Red Coast Base is no longer just a literary setting — it has a real-world counterpart.
