Recent News and Nominations for the Hugo Awards

According to the latest Hugo Award standards and requirements regarding nomination eligibility, the organizing committee has officially recognized the publication date of books as a qualifying criterion. This means that *We Are Living in Nanjing* is now eligible for nomination in the Best Novel category of the Hugo Awards.

Nominations are currently open on the official website and will run until May 1st. Up to five works can be nominated in each category. For those of you who hold voting rights—meaning those who registered and paid their membership fees for the World Science Fiction Convention before February 1st—if you are willing, I sincerely hope you might cast a vote for *Nanjing*.

(The publisher is CITIC Press Group.)

Additionally, there has been a change in the word count requirement for the Best Series category. The conversion ratio between English words and Chinese characters is 1 to 1.6, which means the word count threshold for nominating the Best Series category is no longer 450,000 words, but 380,000 words.

I am not yet certain whether *Defending Nanshan Park* can reach the 380,000-word mark before the nomination deadline on May 1st. The author will do their utmost to write as much as possible while ensuring the quality does not drop, so as not to let down everyone's expectations.

The latest news and nomination updates regarding the Hugo Awards for *Defending Nanshan Park* are currently being compiled. Please wait a moment.
