Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the evolution of female representation in science fiction through the experiences of Chinese female author Gu Shi, highlighting her journey from writing male-centric narratives to embracing her identity as a Chinese woman writer and exploring gender perspectives in her works [2][10][11]. Group 1: Author's Journey and Awakening - Gu Shi began her writing career in 2011, primarily featuring male protagonists, influenced by the male-dominated sci-fi literature of the past [2][8]. - In 2017, after winning the Chinese Galaxy Award for her short story "Moebius Time Space," she faced questions about the absence of female characters and Chinese culture in her work, prompting her to reflect on her identity as a Chinese female writer [1][8][10]. - This reflection led to a "subjective awakening," where she recognized the value of her unique perspective shaped by her environment, gender, and nationality [2][11]. Group 2: Shift in Writing Style and Themes - Gu Shi experimented with new writing styles, moving away from her comfort zone of male perspectives to create more complex female characters, as seen in her work "Gambling Brain," which won the 2019 Chinese Galaxy Award for Best Novella [2][12]. - Her 2022 short story "Choosing a City" reflects her engagement with climate change themes, integrating elements of Chinese mythology and questioning traditional narratives surrounding historical figures like Da Yu [3][4]. Group 3: Representation of Women in Sci-Fi - Gu Shi emphasizes the importance of writing strong female characters who can "hold their own," inspired by real-life women she encounters [5][14]. - She believes that science fiction has the potential to address women's issues more profoundly, allowing for the exploration of both positive and negative gender futures [5][19][20]. - Her recent works, including "2181 Prelude," feature diverse female characters and aim to construct a more equitable gender perspective [5][6][14]. Group 4: Challenges and Critiques - Gu Shi discusses the challenges female writers face, including criticism from female readers who may hold high expectations for gender representation in their works [22][23]. - She advocates for the protection and encouragement of female writers, emphasizing the need for growth and understanding within both authors and readers [24][25]. Group 5: Future Directions - Gu Shi is involved in a project to publish a collection of works by Chinese female science fiction writers, aiming to highlight their contributions and perspectives [19][21]. - She believes that science fiction can serve as a tool to prevent negative societal outcomes by presenting potential futures, thus encouraging proactive engagement with current issues [20][26].
