216 Yan Feng and Sha Qingqing Discuss A Dream of Spring and George R. R. Martin’s Vampires
Science fiction literature not only points to the future but can also carry contemporary people's retrospection of historical phenomena. George R. R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, packed mid-19th-century America into a steamship, adding a steampunk flavor and a sense of historical weight to history. Why can vampires represent slave owners? How should we understand vampires' "PUA" (Pick-Up Artist tactics) of humans? Once we step outside the human perspective, is there still any logic to human relationships? In this episode, listen to the brilliant explanations by Sha Qingqing and Yan Feng.

216 严锋、沙青青谈《热夜之梦》与乔治·马丁笔下的吸血鬼
科幻文学不仅指向未来，也可以承载当代人对历史现象的回溯。《冰与火之歌》的作者乔治-马丁就将19世纪中期的美国塞进了一艘蒸汽船中，给历史加上了蒸汽朋克味道和历史的厚重感。为什么吸血鬼可以代表蓄奴主？如何理解吸血鬼对人类的“PUA”？跳出人类的视角后，人与人的关系还有逻辑可言吗？本期节目，一起来听听沙青青与严锋的精彩讲解。
