I never really read Allen Ginsberg poetry, even though I have a book he gave me.

If people are being abused or even killed during an arrest, this is highly disturbing.

You can never know what is and what is not powerful, but you can always find out what the powerful people are scared of. A state like China looks so powerful, but they are so scared of the Internet, so the Internet is more powerful than them.

Twitter is most suitable for me. In the Chinese language, 140 characters is a novella.

It's really rubbish that some kind of "technical" learning means you will be a better person because you know this skill better.

The idea to use backpacks came from my visit to Sichuan after the earthquake in May 2008. During the earthquake many schools collapsed. Thousands of young students lost their lives, and you could see bags and study material everywhere. Then you realize individual life, media, and the lives of the students are serving very different purposes. The lives of the students disappeared within the state propaganda, and very soon everybody will forget everything.

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