This paper takes Liu Cixin's science fiction as the research object,starts from Liu Cixin's understanding of the relationship between mankind and the universe,aims to find the reflection and anxiety of Liu's quiet,cool and almost cold words on the trend of human destiny as well as his corresponding solutions to the problem with the support of emotional belief.On the basis of these,this paper investigates Liu Cixin's novels' typical image writing in the space and time of different changes,and interprets the artistic means of creating the world of science fiction,so as to fully reveals the personality temperament and unique significance of Liu Cixin's science fiction.It also tries to explore some possible spaceof the future development of Chinese sci-fi literature and its research by analyzing Liu Cixin's individual creation.Liu Cixin's thinking on the fate of mankind began with his questioning of anthropocentrism(which also coincides with certain ideas of postmodernism).Liu restores the true position of mankind in the universe,adjusts the relationship between man and other species and even the whole universe,which is the basic starting point of his creation.Then came the expression of the survival problem.Liu took the apocalyptic survival experience as a cutting point.The survival problem in the context of the universe somewhat contains with the meaning of "fatalism".He also emphasized the spirit of resistance and the implied point of "flying to the universe" to find a home for survival.In the last layer of meaning,the pursuit of survival home should be associated with the essence of seeking roots and relieving homesickness.In retrospect,Liu Cixin's science-fiction works are also deeply related to his early life experience.The sense of identity and anxiety that belongs to a particular land and era has always enveloped him,both as a yoke and as a driving force for him to resolve conflicts.Therefore,Liu believes in science and technology and tries to gain the possibility of awakening,redemption and consolation with the infinite awe of the universe.In the metamorphosis of Liu Cixin's science fiction,there are three kinds of images with typical characteristics:the images of science(fantasy)intertwined with a strong sense of beauty and cruelty,the "madman" images who seek truth while wandering between piety and madness,and the minority "superheroes" who remain sober and calm in the changing environment.These images realize the expression of the author's creation of a unique world of science fiction.Liu Cixin's basic attitude towards the universe and man and the value choice and human nature under the variable universe order are also embodied in them.Using all kinds of artistic means,Liu Cixin dealt with the text,making the world of science fiction appear surprising and unobtrusive,including using fantasy and authenticity to contrast and complement each other,double metaphor from micro to macrography,the use of hierarchical switching and "jump backtracking" narrative and so on.
