There is no media freedom in China. As a result, the society is corrupt and lacks productivity. It is unable to adjust itself for progress. This will lead to the country's eventual downfall.

My situation gives me certain ideas about beauty or the excitement of life, but that doesn't mean other people can necessarily appreciate it.

I always admire writers. My father was a writer, a poet. I always admire people who can clearly state their mind.

I don't think it's worth discussing new directions in the context of Chinese art - there were no old directions, either. Chinese art has never had any clear orientation.

The media is the message. It carries the full intention and the meaning. Once you change it...it's very disturbing.

Choices after waking up: To be true or to lie? To take action or be brainwashed? To be free or be jailed?

I don't think I was very structured in that society and I don't really believe in personal success, which most Americans believe in.
