HELSINKI, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese science-fiction writer Liu Cixin said that the chances of Chinese science fiction authors' to win Huge Awards in the near future lie in the novelette or short story categories.
"One thing that I am sure is that Hugo Awards will not have anything to do with me for a long time or even forever," Liu told Xinhua in Helsinki after his failure to win the 2017 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
Despite the fact that his science fiction "The Three-Body Problem" sells over one million copies domestically and more than 300 thousand copies overseas, Liu believed the traditional science fiction that he is representing will continue to decline undoubtedly.

The award was given to American novelist N. K. Jemisin, who was the winner of the same award last year.

He said there are many talented short-story writers and excellent short works in China. "Being well promoted, they may have chances to win."
One year after Liu won the Hugo Award for Best Novel Cheap Off-White X Air Max 90 Ice Trainers All White , the young Chinese writer Hao Jingfang became the second Chinese winner of a Hugo Award when her novel "Folding Beijing" was awarded the Best Novelette.
