A paraquel to The Three-Body Problem.

Translated by Ken Liu.

At the end of the fourth year of the Crisis Era, Yun Tianming, riddled with cancer, chose to end his life. His decision was the first step in a journey that would take him to the end of the universe and beyond.

His brain was extracted from his body, flash frozen, put aboard a spacecraft and launched on a trajectory that will intercept the Trisolarian First Fleet in a few centuries. It is a desperate plan, almost certain to fail. But there is an infinitesimal chance that one day Tianming may, somehow, be able to send valuable information back to Earth. And so he does. His broadcasts from the Trisolarian fleet reveal the secrets of faster than light propulsion and the ultimate defence of black domains.

This is Tianming's story. It reveals what happened to him when he was intercepted by the Trisolarians. It reveals the true nature of the struggle that has created the universal 'dark forest', and the ultimate fate of the Universe...

His most renowned work, The Redemption of Time, is a prime example of his ability to merge the intellectual rigor of science fiction with the emotional depth of human drama. It is both a love letter to and an expansion of the Three-Body Problem universe created by Liu Cixin, one of China’s most prominent authors. In this way, Baoshu bridges the gap between East and West, offering a new perspective on the themes of civilization, survival, and the cosmos, while exploring the delicate and sometimes painful balance between individual agency and the vastness of time.

Baoshu’s writing style is marked by its contemplative nature. His prose tends to be dense with meaning, rich with ideas that stretch beyond the pages. Every work feels like a carefully considered exploration of an alternative reality, and yet, it remains deeply grounded in the emotional struggles and dreams of its characters. The stakes in his stories are often high, dealing with nothing less than the fate of humanity or the entire universe—but at the core of it all are individuals struggling to find purpose, meaning, and connection.

His literary contributions have earned significant recognition within the global sci-fi community, and while Baoshu’s name might not always be at the forefront of mainstream discussions, his work quietly resonates with fans who seek more than just entertainment in speculative fiction—they seek answers.

Through each narrative, Baoshu invites readers to look inward and outward simultaneously, encouraging them to question not only the world around them but the very fabric of existence itself. His works are an invitation to explore what it means to be human in an age where boundaries between the known and unknown continue to blur.

With his thoughtful storytelling and philosophical depth, Baoshu is an author whose works continue to challenge and inspire, beckoning readers to question the past, present, and future with every page they turn.
