I really appreciated the story beats of this short story. I think the added length lends itself to a more complete character arch.

Ah, my wandering earth...
A sweeping saga of human suffering, mixed in with vivid galactic imagery. The art in this is as otherworldly as its premise. It would have been lovely to get more into the characters than the overall background context, but -- again -- foundationally this is a well-told tale of Earth beyond its orbit.

This was a roller-coaster of emotions. First depressing, then hopeful, then back to depressing.

Found this book secondhand at a book exchange store in London.
Quick read as the plot moved quite fast. I loved the illustrations; they are beautiful!! The plot premise was pretty interesting as well but the ending felt a bit abrupt though it worked.

I love sci-fi movies but I haven't read much sci-fi books. This was an unexpected delight. The epic illustrations of a different vantage points of the world were breathtaking. The challenged views of how to save the earth were unique.
I picked up this graphic novel with only having recognised the author's name from a friend's shelf. Didn't realise until halfway through that I'm reading the works of China's most esteemed sci-fi authors. And it felt like it. Brilliant read, now too find more of his works! Would love to read this in Chinese if I can get my hands on a Chinese copy.
