Liu Cixin became the last male writer in the world to win the Hugo Award. What is the reason? The Hugo Award has paid more attention to diversity and inclusiveness in recent years. In order to make up for the long-term neglect of female writers and minority writers, the Hugo Award nominating committee has increasingly tended to nominate and select works by female writers or minority writers. The science fiction community is also emphasizing diversity and equality. Liu Cixin's award-winning work "The Three-Body Problem" belongs to hard science fiction, and the readership and authorship of hard science fiction has been dominated by white males. In order to change this situation, the science fiction community is also encouraging more female and minority science fiction writers and works. Liu Cixin's works have a strong male perspective and scientific and technological color. The characters in his works are dominated by males, and the ideas and thinking in the works also have the characteristics of science and engineering. In the current atmosphere of emphasizing equality and inclusiveness, these characteristics are not conducive to winning awards. If Liu Cixin's works could reflect a richer diversity of perspectives, they might be more favored by the nominating committee. In summary, the political correctness of the Hugo Award, the advocacy of equality in the science fiction community, the characteristics of Liu Cixin's works, and the increase in science fiction output have all affected and restricted the chances of male writers, winning awards to varying degrees. This makes Liu Cixin likely to be the last male writer to win the Hugo Award. #科幻 #雨果奖 #刘慈欣 #三体
