Abstract

The science fictions of Cixin Liu are spoken highly of people for they make science fiction into reality, using grand imagination and narration to express the charm of the universe and unique humanistic concern. However, fewer scholars interpret works from the survival aspect and it leaves a certain amount of space for the study of this thesis. On the basis of the analysis and reference of the research results and newspaper interview, this thesis centers on the root and specific content of the existence idea of Cixin Liu, which believes survival is superior to everything. It takes “The Three Body Problem” for example, analyzing and summarizing the grant survival and individual survival in the fiction, expressing the worldly thought of humanity and survival, to shock the existing moral standard and show a different thinking dimension to readers.
