Chi Hui (born 1984) lives in Chengdu. After studying biology, she devoted herself to writing and published more than a hundred short stories and several novels, for which she was rewarded in China with several science fiction prizes. Chi Hui belongs to a generation of talented authors born in the 1980s, such as Chen Qiufan, Tang Fei, Xia Jia and Mu Ming - whose works we are starting to find in French translation.
