In 1979, taking advantage of the Reform and Opening-up policy, China's earliest science fiction magazine, Kexue Wenyi, was launched in Sichuan, marking the beginning of the era of Chinese science fiction magazines and a translation boom in science fiction literature. Throughout the 1980s, it held a significant position in both the domestic science fiction literature and translation fields. Taking the translated foreign science fiction novels published in this magazine from 1979 to 1988, this project explores the features of the original texts, the formation of their Chinese versions, and the reception and influence of these translations in China. Through a comprehensive study of the translation landscape during this period, the paper aims to reconstruct the translation production activities in science fiction and outline the developmental trajectory of science fiction literature in the 1980s, particularly in the context of Chinese indigenous science fiction magazines.
