In this episode, we discuss three types of resistance found in post-80s Chinese SF: resistance to social inequalities, to political repression\/censorship, and to gender stereotypes. Frederike gives examples from her research into works by Hao Jingfang, Ma Boyong, Zhang Ran, Chi Hui, Gu Shi, and Chen Qiufan and comments on the innovations and limitations of science fictional narratives when it comes to engaging with the sociopolitical issues of contemporary society.\u00a0<\/p>\n
