At the 79th World Science Fiction Convention held in Washington , the venue for the 81st World Science Fiction Convention in 2023 was officially announced - Chengdu. This means that Chengdu will become the second city in Asia to successfully bid for the World Science Fiction Convention.
In the past two years, cities that have competed with Chengdu have included Nice in France, Memphis in the United States, and Winnipeg in Canada. Finally, Chengdu’s science fiction dream became reality.
The " Hugo Award " awarded by the World Science Fiction Conference is known as the "Nobel Prize in the science fiction world". In August 2015, at the 73rd World Science Fiction Conference, Chinese writer Liu Cixin won the Best Novel Award for the first part of the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem", becoming the first Asian science fiction writer to win this award in more than half a century since the Hugo Awards were established.
won the right to host the World Science Fiction Conference, which is a "knot" for science fiction fans in China and even Asia. This not only means that people will no longer look at each other from a distance, but can have close contact with international science fiction celebrities. They will also witness the birth of the "Hugo Award" and experience the grand occasion of the International Science Fiction Conference. It is foreseeable that this will be a carnival event for "science fiction fans" and will further promote the industrialization and internationalization of Chinese science fiction.
Chengdu’s new business card
From the Science Fiction Capital of China to the World Science Fiction Capital
Chengdu and the World Science Fiction Convention are the most beautiful encounters of mutual appreciation and mutual fulfillment.
Liu Cixin immediately sent congratulations upon learning that Chengdu had successfully applied for science fiction: "This is worthy of being recorded in the history of Chinese science fiction. In 2023, fantasy fans around the world will share a science fiction feast in this thousand-year-old ancient capital, a famous cultural city, and a city of food. Chengdu's business card of 'Science Fiction City' will also be resounding from all over the world."
Chengdu is transforming from a highland of science fiction creation to a highland of science fiction industry. For example, the film "The Wandering Earth" adapted from Liu Cixin's science fiction novel has a cumulative box office of 4.7 billion yuan. MORE VFX, which established a branch in Chengdu High-tech Zone, undertook more than 800 special effects shots for "The Wandering Earth". "Nezha: The Child Demon Comes to the World", which has a box office of 4.972 billion yuan. The film's creative team all grew up in the science fiction soil of Chengdu, and it is also a three-dimensional presentation of the entire science fiction industry chain.

In the future, Chengdu will also vigorously develop the science fiction cultural industry and create a science fiction industry functional area and international platform. We can expect that Chengdu will move from the science fiction capital of China to the science fiction capital of the world.
