Yao Haijun

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Yao Haijun (Chinese: 姚海军) is the editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World (科幻世界, SFW), the most successful Chinese science fiction magazine.[1] Yao has been an editor at SFW since 1998 and became editor-in-chief in 2005. He has also served as the chief editor of 《世界科幻大师丛书》 ("World Science Fiction Masters Collection"), a sci-fi book series.

Early life

Yao was born in a farm in Yichun in Heilongjiang Province. A sci-fi book borrowed from a maths teacher aroused his initial interest in sci-fi fiction. He raised money to launch a sci-fi magazine called "nebulae" (星云).[2] The magazine serves as a fan magazine, which published book reviews and sci-fi news. The magazine put up a bridge of communication among publishers, writers and readers.

Career at SFW

Yao was invited to work as an editor of SFW by Yang Xiao (杨潇), who was then the editor-in-chief of SFW. Yao worked as an editor from June 1998 to June 2002,[3] an assistant chief editor from June 2002 to March 2003,[4] associate editor from March 2003 to October 2005, and editor-in-chief from October 2005 to the present.[5]

World Science Fiction Masters Collection

Although the SFW has a circulation of 200,000 copies per issue, it is difficult to publish sci-fi books in China. When the delivery department worried that they will incur economic deficits, Yao persuaded them otherwise. The World Science Fiction Masters Collection proved to be a great success.[6]

Books Series published

Yao works as the chief editor of several book series: "Cornerstone of Chinese Science Fiction", "Popular Science Fiction of the World", "Work of World Fantasy Masters", and "World Science Fiction Masters Collection" (世界科幻大师丛书). The Three Body Problem, written by Liu Cixin is one of a set of "Cornerstone of Chinese Science Fiction". The circulation of The Three Body Problem is more than seven hundred thousand.[7][8]
