China has a rich history that has spanned millennia. It consists of the histories of many nations and regions.

A historical property has morals and ethics of the society that created it and it can be revived. What I mean is that we can discover new possibilities from the process of dismantling, transforming, and recreating.

In a society like this there is no negotiation, no discussion, except to tell you that power can crush you any time they want — not only you, your whole family and all people like you.

I always thought that in modern history Chinese people are like a dish of sand, never really close together. But I think a dish of sand is a good metaphor because we have the Internet. We don't have to be physically united. You can be an individual and have your own set of values but join others in certain struggles. There is nothing more powerful than that.

If I really have nothing to do, I just watch my cats, take some photos, and go back to my personal blog.

China is at a different stage of development, human rights are violated here much more often. And still, we see improvements even here.
