In addition, the Nebula Awards Committee specially awarded the Beidou Medal for Promoting SF Award to Gan Weikang, president of Eternal Vision Science Fiction & Media Co., Hainan (EV/SFM), who has been hosting the award for seven consecutive sessions.

Tianrui Shuofu, whose real name is He Jian, was born in 1996. He won the Best Novel and Best New Writer awards. He started writing online in 2014 and has penned over three million Chinese characters. He has published three novels: There Were None on Titan, Die on Mars, and Once Upon a Time in Nanjing. The novel that made him famous, Die on Mars, won the Best Internet Literature Award at the 30th China Literature Galaxy Awards.

The novel Once Upon a Time in Nanjing, which won the Best Internet Science Fiction Award at the 32nd China Literature Galaxy Awards, garners the Best Novel award at the Chinese Nebula Awards. "The novel fills the huge gap between online sci-fi and traditional sci-fi, expanding the space for sci-fi to go," said Yao Haijun, chairman of the jury.

The jury believes that Tianrui Shuofu is a rising star in the galaxy of sci-fi writers. "He has written some million-odd Chinese characters since he started. His sci-fi stories are filled with everyday life, courage, and heroism, as well as loneliness and vastness. We look forward to more new stars like him stepping onto the path of sci-fi creation and shaping a new landscape for Chinese sci-fi!"

In an interview, Tianrui Shuofu revealed that he majored in biology. His literary creation began during his university years. The sci-fi work he is writing mainly involves physics and engineering. Now, this young post-95s writer has gradually become one of the representative authors of “hardcore sci-fi” in China.

Dong Renwei, co-founder of the Chinese Nebula Awards, said, "The biggest achievement of this year's award is the emerge of a group of new sci-fi creators." In the domain of the Internet, which inherently carries the label of 'young', the post-95s and even post-2000s are rapidly pouring into the field of online sci-fi literature. This type of literature has become one of the main channels for the younger generation to explore sci-fi culture.
