A little game…?

[presumenothing]

It's already TGIF where I am, so 我们来玩玩游戏吧！

Since languages are all about connections, and everyone sees different patterns in the chaos:

Post a bit of vocab below, and I (plus anyone else who wants to play!) will reply with other bits of vocab that feel related to it!

Any shape or size of vocab goes – whether a single character or an idiom, your favourite word or one you just learned.

If you're responding, feel free to add why these words seem related to you! "They're the same shape/sound", or "it's a valid answer to 接龙ing the above", or "it came up together in one line of this show"… anything goes! 放飞创意吧！

(What I really want is a Chinese space show set IN space, on a spaceship or something ...)

Seconding the mention of The Wandering Earth (including the caveats; I liked it, but there were things that didn't land for me too.) The Three-Body Problem is getting a TV adaptation too!

Thanks muchly! Any particular warnings about The Wandering Earth?

I haven't read The Three-Body Problem - is it set in space after all? My impression was that it waas very much Earth-based ...

Nothing that warrants a warning haha, just some character choices I personally didn't vibe with (little sister who exists mostly to be protected, main character is a hero with dad issues, people seem to die for the angst of it, things like that.) I did like it as a sci-fi story, especially the setting/premise, the central problem and how they fixed it, and the visuals/effects. And it's one of the first Chinese sci-fi films targeting a global audience on this scale so I respect it for taking that path and doing it well.

You're right 3BP is mostly on Earth, there are also a couple subplots that take place on spaceships and different planets, so I am keeping fingers crossed they keep those in!

Thank youn for the details! Like I said in another comment, from the trailer it looked VERY relevant to my interests, so I'm not sure why it dropped out of my head and I haven't watched it yet, LOL. Definitely looking forward to it all over again now!

And I do hope they keep the spaceships and different planets in 3BP! More of that, please!
