Sci-fi has a huge following in the west, but there’s a growing number of Chinese sci-fi writers and their work is often not available in English. Now, for the first time, you can read the English translation of a sci-fi story by Hong Kong writer Tse Pakchai. “Epidemic Investigation” (疫區調查) is one of a collection of short stories published in Chinese in the 2017 sci-fi anthology Dark Fluid (暗流體). Tse’s story, a political thriller set in 2064 in Hong Kong, is a great fit for our project. The English translation (of the original 15,000 words in Chinese) will be available as a PDF document. Check out the story synopsis in the column on the left. Plus, you’ll get the digital poster for The Last Days of Hong Kong, and digital copies of our two concept artworks.
