In This episode, Hua Li relates how modern Chinese SF was popularized as a transmedial practice in the 1980s. She explains the key role played by a kind of graphic novel format known as lianhuanhua<\/em>\u8fde\u73af\u753b and gives examples from the illustrated works of Ye Yonglie \u53f6\u6c38\u70c8. We then move on to fan culture before the internet age and end by discussing how early environmental SF from the 1950s presents a different perspective from today\u2019s writings on the Anthropocene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
