Chinese science fiction literature witnessed a revival in the 1990 s and taking Science Fiction World magazine as its front,a group of new and thoughtful science fiction writers emerged,so-called "new generation" writers such as Liu Cixin,Wang Jinkang,Han Song,etc.These writers set up a rich and vast content,the imaginary world and the unique humanistic spirit of China,not only formed a new wave of science fiction in China at the turn of the century,but also formed a strong influence worldwide,matching both Chinese and Western Science Fiction Literature's extensive consensus on deepening themes and broadening ideas at this moment.Among these writers,Wang Jinkang is especially noticeable with his With his full creative passion,remarkable "core sci-fi" creative concept,deep and desolate writing style,and high creative output,etc,and is known as the "cornerstone" and "thinker" of Chinese new generation science fiction.Wang Jinkang's science fiction works are unique because of his strong scientific philosophy.Different from other writers who focus on presenting the beautiful environment of fiction,Wang Jinkang's works are known for his attention to and presentation of technological ethics.Wang Jinkang is good at conveying the rational thinking on the development of science and technology in his works,writing the interlacing of history and reality,the tangling of good and evil of human nature,and particularly good at exploring human encounters and choices when technology and ethics conflict.By combining the scientific and technological complex in Wang Jinkang 's life experience,the idea of “core science fiction” in creative practice,and the constant consideration of the relationship between people and science and technology in different creative stages,this essay observes the causes of the writing of science and technology ethics in Wang Jinkang 's works.Based on this,combining the structure of science and technology ethics and science fiction in Wang Jinkang's novels,this paper analyzes three typical dimensions of the overall construction of his science and technology ethics concept: reflection on anthropocentrism on the harmony of natural laws,and reflection on science and technology centerism.Utopia's construction and disintegration,and critique of technological universalism based on humane care.In this context,we discuss the problems of Wang Jinkang's ethical writing of science and technology: genetic engineering and human physiology alienation,artificial intelligence and mental upgrading,human survival experiments under catastrophe,and analysis of scientific and technological ethics discussions in specific situations.Under the discussion of ethics of science and technology,this essay observes Wang Jinkang's profound literary concrete manifestation of the ethical dilemma of science and technology and humanistic reasoning: the image of science and technology practitioners reflecting the dignity and value of cognitive subjects,the structure of science popularization materials and the intertextuality of suspense Environment and unique desolate and grand artistic aesthetic features.Finally,from the significance of Wang Jinkang's value to Chinese science fiction literature,he analyzes his unique position on the theme of science and technology ethics to guide the practice of science and technology ethics,promote the development of science fiction genre,and improve the science fiction construction with Chinese characteristics.The thesis hopes that by studying the scientific and ethical elements of Wang Jinkang's science fiction novels,it will highlight the scientific characteristics,humanistic care and critical power of his works,with a view to providing a pioneering perspective of research on Wang Jinkang's science fiction literature.
