Now many enterprises are made by individuals, so the attitude has started to change.

China didn't want to lose the cutting edge of technology. So the idea of having a Sina Weibo was an attempt to compete with Twitter. However, it has no soul - which is freedom of expression. Nevertheless, I think the government regrets having Sina Weibo, but they cannot shut it down. That would definitely be suicidal.

If a nation cannot face its past, it has no future.

For artists and intellectuals today, what is most needed is to be clear about social responsibility, because that is what most people automatically give up. Just to protect yourself as an individual is very political. You don't have to march on Tiananmen, but you do have to be clear-minded, to find your own means of expression.

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

In my life, I often make so-called major decisions by very quick, immediate responses.

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