The Three-Body Problem is a masterpiece of enormous scope and vision, written by Cixin, Liu, the most prevailing science fiction writer in China today and tells a story set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution. Back in those days, Hongan , a secret military project, aiming to explore outer space civilization and establish contact with aliens, had made breakthrough progress.

The first signal from the earth, with the sun as its center, dashed forward to the deeper side of the universe. Four light years away, the Three-Body civilization is in big trouble. Just like the earth, they also revolve around the sun, but quite randomly. After hundreds of destruction and resurrection, they were forced to break away from the home planet.
