Work
Zhao already started in high school to write her first short stories. Apart from science fiction, she has also published a number of martial arts stories. For her science fiction stories, Zhao has received the Chinese Galaxy Award several times and her fans awarded her the unofficial title of "princess of Chinese science fiction."
