Xia Jia is the pen-name Wang Yao (born in Xi'an, Shaanxi, 1984), a Chinese science fiction writer, artist and literary scholar. Several of her stories have won China's Galaxy Award, and have been published in English translation in ''Clarkesworld'', ''Nature'', and ''Upgraded''. She has characterized her works as "porridge scifi", as they often contain so many non-scientific elements (such as myths or folklore) that many might not consider them “science fiction”.
