In a dazzling display of technological artistry in Chengdu, China, 4,000 drones took to the night sky, weaving a narrative that mirrored the rise and fall of great civilizations. The event, dubbed a “Starry Sky Story,” captivated audiences with its intricate choreography.
The inspiration behind this aerial spectacle, as reported by CNBC AI News, stems from the core tenets laid out in the writings of James Liang, whose theories center on the crucial role of population movements in shaping the destinies of nations.
Liang articulated the performance’s underlying message, emphasizing that “the history of human evolution and civilization is a relay race of knowledge and genes, with each generation building on the shoulders of the previous one.” The responsibility, he believes, lies in ensuring a seamless handoff to the next generation.
Adding another layer to the story, Liang is also a renowned population economist and co-founder of a travel agency. His public stance on population growth has been consistent, as he has frequently advocated for policies to encourage childbirth, which have generated significant public discussion.
Notably, in a past appearance on the show, *Thirteen Invitations*, Liang openly discussed the importance he places on procreation, sparking considerable online discussions. His sentiments on the matter were already made clear in the beginning of the show, where he discussed his focus on topics of reproduction, including themes from polar bears to historical figures to people in his surroundings.
Furthermore, on the first working day of the Year of the Snake 2025, Liang published an article titled “China Has Entered an Era of Abundance in All Things, Except for Children.”
In this article, Liang argued that while China possesses abundant productive capacity, it is critically short on children. He attributed this disparity to misaligned incentives, noting that the costs of raising children are borne by individual families, while the societal benefits of future generations are enjoyed collectively.
Therefore, he called for governmental intervention, suggesting that the central government should provide more incentives to families raising children, a move he believes would boost both fertility rates and consumer spending.
Adding a touch of personal anecdote, Liang publicly responded to calls for him to have more children in 2021, humorously saying, “In my next life, I want to be a woman, and I will have as many children as I want!”
