In 2012, even the winner of the Nobel Prize of Literature, Mo Yan, would have acclaimed the remarkable originality of Liu Cixin. Liu’s three novels had been a sensation of Chinese science fiction literature within Chinese territory and internationally. Death's End was a 2017 Hugo Award for Best Novel finalist and won a 2017 Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. Ken Liu also translated the third volume of The Three-Body Problem series, Death's End, in 2016. The German translation (which included some portions of the original text not included in the English translation) followed in 2016. Liu Cixin thus became the first author from Asia to win Best Novel. American author Ken Liu's 2014 translation (published by Tor Books) won the 2015 Hugo Award for Best Novel. Liu's most famous work, The Three-Body Problem, was published in 2007 (it is the first novel in the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy). He was labeled the first cyberpunk Chinese author after his novel, China 2185, was published in 1989. He cites British authors George Orwell and Arthur C. He then worked as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. Liu graduated from the North China University of Water Conservancy and Electric Power in 1988. Due to the violence of the Cultural Revolution he was sent to live in his ancestral home in Luoshan County, Henan.
Liu was born on 23 June 1963 in Beijing and raised in Yangquan, Shanxi, where Liu's parents had been sent to work in the mines.
