The new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics has put forward new requirements for science popularization. Popular science writers in the new era should not only popularize scientific knowledge, but also convey scientific worldview and methodology to the public. Both the scientific knowledge and humanistic awareness are essential to popular science writing. By mastering the basic rules of creative writing, popular science writers can integrate their own scientific and humanistic literacy and knowledge in their creation, so as to improve the quality of popular science works. Writing on the basis of domestic popular science creating and academic studies, writers need to learn from relevant experiences in the field of creative writing, and bring creative writing into the education system of popular science writers, which is helpful to form a new ecology of Chinese popular science writing.

Nowadays, popular science short videos have become an important carrier of science communication, as well as a focal point and important direction for deepening the content-production reform of science popularization. In this paper, we analyze the creation strategy of short science videos from three dimensions. Firstly, in terms of topic selection, producers can combine national development strategies and policy deployment, pay attention to national scientific and technological innovation achievements, refer to the annual guide for science popularization creation, draw on other large-scale science popularization activities and outstanding science popularization publications, combine current news and social hotspots and daily life, and explore suitable themes for creation. Secondly, as for the titles, one need to pay attention to the type of speech and the flexible use of a variety of sentence patterns and figures of speech, such as metaphors, parody and contrasts. Lastly, for better content presentation, technical advantages are brought into play to maximise the scientific, interesting and artistic nature of the work, enhance its appeal and public influence.

In the era of new media, the creators and disseminators of online popular science content should not blindly follow the trend, but learn to avoid legal risks and safeguard their own rights and interests. The article summarizes and analyzes the legal issues and risks faced by healthcare professionals in the creation and dissemination of live webcasts and short videos of popular medical science, and points out that the production of short videos of medical science should comply with regulations in both form and content, advocating that content creators need to have risk awareness. Finally, legal precautionary measures and ways to defend the rights of content creators are provided.

Han Song's Subway constructs a "new space" where crisis and hope coexist. Through the viewing experience from two perspectives, it presents the "spatiality" jointly shaped by "social space" and "spiritual space". The crises of "technological alienation" and "humanistic spirit" in the novel construct a set of "enlightenment discourse" in the age of technology. This discourse does not only continue the narrative connotation of "humanistic discourse" in the New Literature of the May Fourth Movement, but also extends the speaking space of "returning to enlightenment" in the age of technology, which shows the author's criticism of "alienation" and "estrangement" caused by "technicality", his warning of the lack of zeitgeist and "spiritual space", and his reflection on the survival anxiety and identity crisis in the "new space". At the same time, the novel also implies that the "subway" should provide people with a poetic residence in the dimensions of class, space, industry and tradition, rather than being a living place dominated by "technology".

With the development of mobile Internet technology, new media has become the main means of obtaining information, socializing and entertainment. New media has become important platforms for the creation of popular science content due to its low threshold of content production, speedy transmission, and strong interaction, which has brought great changes to the presentation of popular science content. This paper analyzes the new characteristics of popular science content creation in the era of new media, and the problems in popular science creation, including severe homogeneity, insufficient scientific reliability and inferior business models. In response to these problems, this paper proposes strategies for the creation and its communication of new media popular science.

Popular science short videos are usually vivid, intuitive and interesting. Compared with traditional media, short videos are more popular among the audience, as they are more in line with the market preferences and the preference of fragmented information of the Internet era, which has led to a change of methods in science popularization and an influx of content creators. Meanwhile, many problems have also arisen. For example, the number of creators is huge, but their content quality is uneven, and the low threshold of this field leads to a motley mixture of creators; many video creators emphasize on knowledge over value, resulting in the growing spread of rumors and pseudoscience amongst the rapid increase of video quantity; the platforms' algorithm fuels the production of "information cocoons", leading creators to create for web traffics and clicks; the lack of proper mechanism of evaluation as a guidance cause a scarcity of quality videos produced by scientists and technicians. Therefore, based on the current development of popular science short videos, the existing advantages, and emerging problems, this article proposes suggestions for the future development of popular science popularization short videos from the perspectives of the creation source, the evaluation mechanism of video quality and effect, and the integration of theory and practice in content creation.

Video has become an important form of media communication, and popular science communication has also dropped its old-time solemnity through short videos. By selecting typical cases of popular science short videos on Bilibili.com, this paper analyzes the basic features, presentation forms and dissemination effects of popular science short videos, explores the creation features and dissemination laws of the most-viewed popular science short videos, and explains the filling and reconstruction of "knowledge gap" brought by these popular science short videos on Bilibili.com, revealing a new interactive relationship between communicators and receivers.

In the science fiction of late Qing dynasty, the scientific and technological achievements invented by experts and specialists were weaved into the narration in the form of imaginary "things", and became the material cornerstone for novelists to construct the fictional space. In the functional imagination of this "things", the literariness of Late Qing science fiction was weakened by the authors' exaggeration of the performance of "thing", repetition of political theme of "science saving China", and their overt concern of society. Despite of these, the spirit of embracing science and exploring the unknown in these fictional texts still has considerable artistic values.

The intellectuals of the late Qing Dynasty represented by Liang Qichao attached great importance to the communication advantages and social functions of fiction. As a combined product of literature and science, science fiction also naturally assumes the important mission of disseminating scientific knowledge and enlightening the public. However, when specific fictional texts are examined, the complicated understandings of science of the late Qing authors are revealed. It is discovered that many authors either held suspicious views of science, wrote stories against common sense, or believed in the philosophy of religion. These various attitudes, emotions and beliefs represent some common epistemological features during the process of science exploration, signifying progressive values in modern Chinese thought.

This article focuses on the science fiction published in the journal Kexue Wenyi/QiTan (Kexue Wenyi renamed as QiTan in 1989) from 1984 to 1990, revisiting the mid-to-late 1980s, a nadir in the history of Chinese science fiction that has long been neglected by the academics, and identifying the symptoms of the times in the science fiction of the period of societal transformation. Compared to the beginning of "the New Era", science fiction in the mid to late 1980s reflected a lot of social problems that emerged in a more advanced stage of modernization, as well as the ensuing confusion and reflections. It has developed significantly in terms of subject range and ideological tension, providing us with a new perspective on China's unique and tortuous modernization process since "the New Era".
