You are listening to a Clarksville Magazine podcast with your host and narrator, Kate Baker.

Greetings, Clarksville citizens. I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

Thank you once again for your massive support for Clarksworld magazine.

For those of you who are contributing a dollar a month or more, via Patreon, subscribing,

or our newest venture, Clarksworld Citizens.com.

Thank you so much.

And for those of you who haven't quite had the ability to do so, those are your three avenues.

We appreciate anything you can throw at us.

Our fifth story for the month of January 2018, issue 136, is titled The Lighthouse Girl.

It is by Bao Xu, translated by Andy Dudak. Bao Shu is a Chinese

SF writer living in Xi'an. He began his writing career since 2010 and has published two

collections and four novels since, including Three Body Problem X, The Redemption of Time, and Ruins of Time.

His shorter works are often published by magazines like Science Fiction World,

Zui Fiction, Knowledge is Power, and People's Literature.

He has won several major awards for Chinese science fiction.

Several of his works are now available in English,

published by F&SF and Clark's World.

And if you like what you hear,

January 2016 brought you,

Everybody Loves Charles,

and September 2015 brought you,

preserve her memory.
