I think art is a very important weapon to achieve human freedom

Imagine one day, the hateful world around you collapses. And it is your attitude, words and actions that put an end to it. Will you be excited?

I came back [to Beijing ] because that's the only time I had an excuse to come back, or otherwise I would never have a reason to come back.

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

[Being unique] gives so much privilege to people who can make it, rather than having some moral and aesthetic discussions.

I think to deal with the situation like human crisis, 65 million people being displaced, lost their home, and with such human tragedy, has to make every level of society to be conscious and to be alert about the situation. So, the politicians and the people who make decisions very often is the one we think can make some difference. But of course they will not make a difference if the citizens or the individuals not push it or not to speak out, to possess a very strong voice about, this is not acceptable.

If there is no free speech, every single life has lived in vain
