Folding Beijing (simplified Chinese: 北京折叠; traditional Chinese: 北京折疊; lit. 'Beijing Folds') is a science fiction novelette by the Chinese writer Hao Jingfang.
This work was originally posted on newsmth.net, the BBS of Tsinghua University, in December 2012. It took the author around 1 month to plan, and 3 days to write.[1] It was later published in two Chinese magazines in 2014.
An English translation by Ken Liu was published in 2015 on Uncanny Magazine.[2] It won the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novelette.[3]
In April 2017, Hao announced that Folding Beijing was to be adapted into a movie titled Folding City,[4] produced by Chinese film production company Wanda Media[5] and directed by Josh Kim. As of 2024, it is still in development.[6]
