Why was there such a big difference between Liu Cixin's Wandering Earth and Three-Body Problem?

I seemed to see the three golden suns of Centaurus rising one after another on the horizon, and everything was bathed in its warm light. The solid air melted and turned into a blue sky. The seeds from more than 2,000 years ago were revived from the unfrozen soil, and the earth turned green. I saw my 100th generation of grandchildren laughing on the green grassland. There were clear streams on the grassland, and there were silver fish in the streams... The earth had been burned red like an iron plate in a furnace. Bright lava streams flowed on the dark red ground, weaving into a beautiful fire net that stretched to the horizon. Countless slender pillars of fire rose high from the blazing red ground. The dry warehouse was burning, and the dehydrated people in the warehouse dyed the pillars of fire a strange blue-green color. Wang Miao saw more than a dozen small pillars of fire of the same color not far away. These were the dozen people who had just run out of the pyramid: the pope, galileo, aristotle, da? Vinci…The blue-green pillar of fire that enveloped them was transparent, and their faces and bodies could be seen slowly transforming in the fire. They focused their eyes on Wang Miao, who had just come out, and maintained the same posture. They raised their burning arms to the sky and sang in unison,"" Three suns in the sky-" Wang Miao looked up and saw three huge suns slowly rotating around an invisible origin in the sky, like a huge fan blowing the wind of death to the earth. The three suns that occupied almost the entire sky were moving westward. Soon, half of them had sunk below the horizon. The " fan " was still spinning, and a brilliant leaf would cut across the horizon from time to time, bringing short sunrises and sunsets to this destroyed world. After sunset, the scorching land emitted a dark red light, and the sunrise that came in a flash drowned everything with a strong light. After the three suns had completely set, the thick clouds formed by the rising water vapor on the ground were still scattering its light. The sky was burning, presenting a maddening beauty of hell. When the destructive sunset finally disappeared, and there was only a layer of blood red smeared on the clouds by the hellfire of the earth, a few lines of words appeared: Civilization No. 183 was destroyed in the " Three Suns in the Sky ", and the civilization evolved to the level of the Middle Ages. Similarly, on Alpha Centauri, there were also three stars that were undergoing three-body motion. Why was there such a huge difference? Although the three-body system was behind the Wandering Earth, the difference was too big!

Answer 1

Liu Cixin's Wandering Earth and The Three-Body Problem were two science fiction novels with completely different styles and topics.

Wandering the Earth was one of Liu Cixin's masterpieces. It described the grand plan that mankind had taken to save the earth. It described the struggle for survival and the process of saving mankind in the face of disasters. The novel took the fate of mankind as the main theme. It described the efforts and sacrifices made by human beings in the face of disasters and explored topics such as human nature, human fate, and the impact of science and technology. The novel's style was compact, and the plot was full of ups and downs. It was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

" The Three-Body Problem " was another representative work of Liu Cixin, which talked about the contact and struggle between alien civilizations and humans. The novel used the alien civilization as the theme to describe the development process of the Tri-human civilization and their impact on the human race on Earth. It explored topics such as human civilization, alien civilization, and the nature of the universe. The style of the novel was profound, and the thoughts were deep and philosophical.

The main reason why the styles and theme of the two films were so different was because they were targeted at different audiences and topics. Wandering Earth mainly targeted young readers to explore the theme of human survival and technological development with a compact plot and thrilling atmosphere, while Three-Body Theory mainly targeted adult readers to explore the nature of human civilization, alien civilization, and the universe with profound thoughts and philosophical topics.
