so many shitty dads in this drama. I had hopes for the heavenly emperor but alas he's just as bad.
Now that I think about it, I guess it should have be obvious he was an a*hole when the first thing he did was attack his son with killing intent even though they hadn't seen each other for almost 2000 years

I'm not defending him far from it. The problem with people like you is that when faced with a different perspective that you don't share, you all think the person offering that perspective is against you. Nowhere have I said that Cixin Liu is right but you just automatically assumed that I share his viewpoint just because I asked you to consider his actions from another angle. I just want you to recognise that not everyone has the same privilege as we do. Try to do away with this black and white mentality. Linear thinking would get you nowhere when confronted with issues faced by people of other cultures

Not everyone has that luxury of speaking out . Tbh, I feel like your opinions on what Cixin Liu should or shouldn't have done might be coming from a place of privilege. You probably live in the US (or at least a western country) and haven't experienced or grasped what it's like to live in an autocratic state where things as little as speaking out can change the entire trajectory of one's life. It's totally against your worldview and that's why you think would be easy for him to say something that would get him killed or incarcerated. In such a situation, people really cherish the little freedom they have and wouldn't trade it for anything. Of course, if Cixin Liu lived in Washington DC (where the interview was held) instead of China, I imagine he would have all the freedom to say anything he wants about the government.
