China's sci-fi movies on right track

As China's first domestic sci-fi blockbuster The Wandering Earth impresses moviegoers around the world, Hugo Award winner Liu Cixin and renowned Canadian filmmaker James Cameron predict a brighter future for China's sci-fi film industry.

Liu, China's leading sci-fi writer and executive producer of The Wandering Earth, says that the movie, which premiered during this year's Spring Festival, had achieved "great success" at the domestic box office, marking "a good start for China's homemade sci-fi movies".

Based on Liu's novella of the same name, The Wandering Earth presents the story of an epic project to move the Earth and its 3.5 billion residents to a remote star system because the sun is dying and about to swallow the Earth.
