The Internet changes the structure of society all the time — this massiveness made of individuals.

Any design, any city, any kind of craziness or tragedy, it all comes from a long time of preparation.

We live in changing times, and many people experience the challenges that come with it. In the face of uncertain futures, no one will know what to expect.

I think U.S. and China is a big opportunity, to be seen as partner or some kind of strategic partner maybe. But those kind of powers have a way of getting too big, then we'll have competition. And who is going to win the competition if U.S. cannot hold a strong ideology? And even the U.S. would've lost the ground to win.

Behind every political deal in this country, the first casualties are always the ordinary people, who are barely treated as human.

I curated this show [Shanghai Biennale ], I was by no means trying to shock people or be controversial.

I'm totally independent. I don't bear any responsibility to any system.
