Bolivian scientist achieves scientific research dream in China

Marco Cabero, a 35-year-old Bolivian scientist, is not usually very talkative. But when it came to the recent hit film The Wandering Earth, he began to talk himself out.

As a science fan, especially of American and English works, Cabero for the first time watched a Chinese science fiction movie, and "it really appealed to me," he said with a smile, adding that Liu Cixin's science fiction story showed great creativity by associating the remote space with the future of humanity.

In Cabero's view, the rising popularity of Chinese science fiction works like The Wandering Earth reflects China's growing technological strength and scientific research level, to which he is an honored witness.
