On October 26, 2010, the organizing committee for the Second XINGYUN Awards convened at the offices of the World Chinese Science Fiction Association in Chengdu. The meeting passed the Charter for the 2011 2nd XINGYUN Awards, signifying the formal launch of prize’s second cycle. Award organizers have evidently learned from the experience of the first cycle: the new charter drops the fantasy category, constraining nominations to the field of science fiction, with which WCSFA members are more familiar.

The anthology "Shi Kong: 时空 China Futures" edited and translate from the Chines language by Lorenzo Andolfatto was published

The upcoming 2011 Fall issue of Renditions, a literary journal based in Hong Kong, will offer English readers a fine selection of translated Chinese scifi stories. For anyone interested in China, this special issue is a must-read.
