My understanding of Chinese history is limited. So far, I have only scratched its surface; I wish I could find out more.

I don't personally feel any association with a kind of culture related to state, or culture related to power, which I think is always disgusting.

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

It is not an easy job to govern China, I am aware of that.

Art should live in the heart of the people. Ordinary people should have the same ability to understand art as anybody else. I don't think art is elite or mysterious.

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

Hopefully, other successes aren't like me. It carries much more meaning to other people; my success story is irrelevant. It doesn't make any sense.
