The Chinese writer Liu Cixin has won the 2015 Hugo Award for best science-fiction novel. This is the first time the prestigious prize has been awarded to a Chinese writer.

But the person who helped turn Mr. Cixin's novel "The Three-Body Problem" into an international sensation is translator Ken Liu. He too is an author, and spoke to Newsday about his work and Liu Cixin's success.
