'''''The Wandering Earth''''' () is a 2000 Chinese science fiction [[novella]] by [[Locus Award]] and [[Hugo Award]]-winning author [[Liu Cixin]]. [[The Wandering Earth (film)|A film of the same title]], based on this novella, was released in 2019.
== Plot ==
In the future, the [[Sun]] ages and a [[helium flash]] is expected to happen, pushing the nations of the world to consolidate into the United Earth Government, a [[world government]], and initiate a project to move Earth out of the [[Solar System]] to the [[Alpha Centauri]] system, in order to preserve [[human civilization]]. Huge thrusters running on [[fusion power]] are built across the planet to propel it. Human population is reduced severely due to catastrophic [[tide]]s that occur after the planetary engines stop [[Earth's rotation]], and later as the planet moves away from the Sun, much of the surface is frozen due to lowered temperatures, forcing humans to live in vast [[Underground city|underground cities]] built adjacent to the engines.
During the migration of the Earth, there is a large debate amongst the mankind, concerning whether the helium flash would actually happen, and whether the United Earth Government had cheated the mankind. This eventually evolves into a worldwide conflict. And then the helium flash really takes place. The Earth escapes this and continues its migration beyond the [[Pluto]] orbit.
