Abstract—In the history of Western literature, science fiction,
as an essential branch of it, has been widely loved by the masses,
and a crowd of outstanding science fiction novelists has been
produced. With a large number of science fiction books adapted
into films, the novels are also familiar to more audiences.
Science fiction has been sprouting since 1902 in China, with the
efforts of the pioneers and the relay of the latecomers, there
have been many excellent works. But compared with the
situation of western science fiction, it is not supportive of the
healthy growth of science fiction in our country, and the public
has not accepted science fiction novels. This paper will focus on
the development history and current situation of science fiction
in China, and explore the differences between the creative
environment of Chinese and western science fiction and the
prospect of Chinese science fiction, to seek a better future for
Chinese science fiction.
