In the end, I think, the state's rigidity is a function of its own insecurity, its indecisiveness.

People have a tendency to become elite rather than to care about the general conditions of the society, which makes me sick. It's an unbearable condition.

Whenever there is injustice, there is tension. But in China it is very hard to release your anger unless you burn yourself or you jump from a bridge. In a society where there is no freedom of the press, it is difficult for victims to be noticed.

It's always nice to share your energy with young people, the people who might not have any skills but are simply willing to be a part of it.

I can still wake up the next day and feel that there's something that needs to be done, which always amuses me.

Maybe being powerful means to be fragile.

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