The so-called culture nowadays is only a fake one with a superficial front. It is an empty lie.

If there's the right condition, I always want to express the concept or ideas in a very independent way.

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 tragic reality of today is reflected in the true plight of our spiritual existence. We are spineless and cannot stand straight.

Cities really are mental conditions. Beijing is a nightmare. A constant nightmare.

Recently I danced in a video spoof of the song 'Gangnam Style,' and it was quickly banned across multiple Chinese online video platforms. But the story still traveled all over the world, carried in hundreds of international media reports.

The biggest obstacle in interacting with China is the difference in perspectives about basic values. These include issues such as human rights, the concept of law and constitution.
