I never had secure, belonging feelings with this society [in China].

My musician friends are banned from playing concerts in China because they share the same views as I do. My name cannot appear on the web, because my opinion is different from the Party.

Expressing oneself is like a drug. I'm so addicted to it.

A city is a place that can offer maximum freedom. Otherwise it’s incomplete.

Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years, anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed. Chinese art is merely a product: it avoids any meaningful engagement. There is no larger context. Its only purpose is to charm viewers with its ambiguity.

The IT people who have made such an effort to know and understand computer technology. They are frustrated that you cannot use Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in China. They are the first to recognize that the situation is terrible.

I don't belong to a working system. They only select people if you belong to one so you can be controlled.
