By Xinhua</p>
<p>The 2014 Xingyun (Nebula) Award for Global Chinese Science Fiction was announced Sunday, with the best saga novel prize awarded to a story about a world trapped in an endless loop.</p>
<p>Ruins of Time [时间之墟], written by Baoshu [宝树] from Chinese mainland, tells of a world where everything, except the memories of some people, would return to a fixed point-in-time every 20 hours, as a result of a disastrous experiment that distorted time.</p>
<p>American Chinese writer Ken Liu won special contribution prize for translating Chinese science fiction, including best-seller <em>The Three-Body Problem</em>, into English.</p>
<p>“Smart Life” by Ping Zongqi from Taiwan won the prize for best short story.</p>
<p>More than 2,000 sci-fi writers and readers from China and abroad attended the event in Beijing, held by <a href="http://www.guokr.com/">Guokr.com</a>, a website dedicated to popularizing science, this year.</p>
<p>Though seen as an important way to popularize science and promote imagination, sci-fi has yet to break into the mainstream in China.</p>
<p>The annual event, the only international awards for Chinese-language sci-fi writers, was organized by the World Chinese Science Fiction Association, which is based in Chengdu, capital of southwest China’s Sichuan Province. It was launched in 2010.</p>
