He Xi
He Xi (Chinese 何夕, Pinyin Hé Xī; * born December 1971 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China), born as He Hongwei (Chinese 何宏伟, Pinyin Hé Hóngwěi), is a Chinese science fiction author. He has won the Galaxy Award fifteen times[1] and is part of the 'great four' or 'four heavenly kings' ("本土科幻四大天王") of Chinese science fiction (together with Liu Cixin, Wang Jingkang and Han Song).[2]
Biography
[edit]After a comeback in 1998, He Xi officially changed his name from He Hongwei to He Xi. He (Xi) took the pun "今夕何夕" (Pinyin jīnxī hé xī, Tonight: He Xi) from the Etsujin Song (Chinese 越人歌, Pinyin yuè rén gē) as basis and argued it better fits him wondering about the eternal flow of time (顺带抒发自己面对时间这个永恒命题时的迷惑).[3]
