The city is dying - might Yuanyuan' s obsession with blowing bigger and bigger bubbles be the answer? Cixin Liu' s science fiction story ' Yuanyuan' s Bubbles' is now realised as a graphic novel for the first time. An international collaboration involving 26 writers and illustrators from 14 different countries have transformed 15 of Cixin Liu' s - ' China' s answer to Arthur C. Clarke' (New Yorker) - award-winning stories into graphic novels. Yuanyuan was five months old when she saw bubbles for the first time. In that moment, her eyes lit up with a radiance that outshone the sun and stars, and she felt she truly saw the world for the first time. From that day on, her life' s one dream was to blow the biggest bubbles possible. Yuanyuan' s father doesn' t approve of her dream. He fears his daughter' s obsession is childish and too fleeting for his daughter, and longs for her to turn her intelligence to a calling that might help people. Their city is dying, but Yuanyuan focuses solely on blowing bigger and bigger bubbles. But when Yuanyuan learns to create a bubble the size of a city - greater even - it may be that her obsession isn' t so unhelpful after all.
