Other Awards:

• 09/1991: Honorable Mention, "Hua Xia" China High School Writing Contest. I wrote a small piece of sci-fi --- "Sun Crystal". The story is about how great hackers save the earth from a piece of highly unstable crystal accidentally left in the space by an exploration team. The deadly crystal is approaching the earth, and if it gets anywhere close to the atmosphere, its explosion will surely blow up a third of our planet. Eventually hackers figure out how to use the gravitational field of a nearby comet to pull the crystal away from the earth, without causing it to explode... I know I know, there are many loopholes... But hey, I was just a kid, and I think it's at least as good as the original Star Strek... :)

Years Wayyyyy Back: Elementary School
