1、In the fall of 2012, Ken Liu received an offer from a Chinese company, which was seeking an English translator for a sci-fi novel titled The Three-Body Problem, Ken was a natural choice; familiar with both the Chinese and English sci-fi wording and culture. But The Three-Body Problem was unlike anything Ken had ever read. A mind-bending story was full of heady technical passages about physics theory, mixed with profound moral questions and humanity's place in the university. So capturing the novel in all its complexity seemed discouraging.

When the English translation of The Three-Body Problem was published, it was described as a ground breaking work of speculative fiction (推理小说). Liu Cixin, the author of the original work said, "Usually when Chinese literature gets translated into a foreign language, it tends to lose something. But I don't think that happened to The Three-Body Problem. I think it gained something."

Ken was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. He was a bookworm. Books provided him with a shelter when Ire mo to California, and couldn't speak English at the age of 11. After graduation from Harvard, he was a computer programmer, then a corporate lawyer, and later a sci-fi writer. Throughout his shifting professional journey, Ken wrote fiction continuously. Finally, one of his works won three big awards.

Ken never set out to be a translator, but a Chinese writer discovered Ken. Chen Qiufan liked reading Ken's short stories online and kept in touch with Ken. One day, he asked Ken for his opinion on an English translation of one of his stories, which was from a translation company. Ken wasn't impressed and offered to edit it, but ended up redoing the translation from scratch. Chen was completely moved by Ken's spirit.

Ken's approach to translation is unorthodox (非正统的). Strict loyalty to the source material is not his chief goal, nor is producing a smooth, Americanized version. "It's not a word-by-word recreation," he said. "It's about how I show the overall effect." Rather than ignoring cultural and spoken differences that would be lost on most Western readers, he tries to stress them.
