Good Evening, Mr President!

In the eyes of Chi Zuxu, Chi Yi is a typical delinquent with the three big ‘NOs’— no morals, no virtues, no principles. To her, though, he is a classic baddie who is heartless, soulless, and inhuman. After the girl breaks and climbs through his glass window on the second story, she peeps at him with an innocent demeanor. “Chi Zuxu, lend me the other half of your bed!” she wolf-whistles at him blatantly. The man admonishes with a scowl, “Chi Yi, aren’t you shameless!” Inside the cinema, as Chi Yi’s little hands restlessly grope the man’s body without chagrin, she tells him smilingly, “Chi Zuxu, I want to do bad things with you!” Holding a look of woeful disgrace, he knocks her head. “Chi Yi, aren’t you embarrassed!” It is a lovely love story between a barefaced and a reticent. But, Mr Reticient, please don’t cry when Miss Barefaced finally slips away.

The world design of this book is heavily influenced by the greatest post-apocalyptic and dystopian stories, such as 1986. The MC is not the nicest guy, but he wishes no harm to anyone but his enemies. Which side will he choose, the humans or the demons?

Good dystopian short stories often have a sense of oppression. They show a world where something has gone terribly wrong, like in '1984' by George Orwell, where the government has total control over people's lives. Another characteristic is the use of a relatable protagonist who struggles against the dystopian system. This makes the reader more engaged. Also, they usually have a warning aspect, making the reader think about how our current actions could lead to such a future.

One great dystopian short story is 'Harrison Bergeron' by Kurt Vonnegut. It depicts a future society where everyone is made equal in the most extreme and oppressive ways. Another is 'The Pedestrian' by Ray Bradbury, which shows a world where individualism is shunned and people are more like automatons. Also, 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson can be considered dystopian as it reveals the dark and blindly followed traditions in a small town.

A great one is 'The Pedestrian' by Ray Bradbury. It's a short but powerful story about a man living in a future where technology has taken over in a rather desolate way. Another is 'Harrison Bergeron' by Kurt Vonnegut. It shows a world where everyone is made equal in the most extreme and oppressive sense. And 'Exhalation' by Ted Chiang, while not strictly a traditional dystopian story, has elements of a world with its own problems that make it a thought - provoking read.

What makes a short story a great dystopian one in the best dystopian short stories?

One factor is the exploration of social and political issues. In the best dystopian short stories, like 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury, it examines the suppression of knowledge and the dumbing - down of society. Another is the creation of a believable and immersive world. Stories like 'The Hunger Games' (which started as a short story concept) build a world where the Capitol's oppression of the districts is vividly depicted. The characters also play a role. They need to be relatable and their struggles in the dystopian setting should be engaging, like in 'The Handmaid's Tale' (which also has short story elements).
