I think of art as coming from daily life, daily experience. I think it's very important not to have it become work for some kind of elite circle.

No matter what happens, nothing can prevent the historical process by which society demands freedom and democracy.

I can still wake up the next day and feel that there's something that needs to be done, which always amuses me.

China hasn't only existed for one day. Now, the whole nation has become richer and it's become a problem. The problem is universal. The factor is big. Everybody has to rethink the balance of the world and the whole landscape.

I want people to see their own power.

The tragic reality of today is reflected in the true plight of our spiritual existence. We are spineless and cannot stand straight.

I think U.S. and China is a big opportunity, to be seen as partner or some kind of strategic partner maybe. But those kind of powers have a way of getting too big, then we'll have competition. And who is going to win the competition if U.S. cannot hold a strong ideology? And even the U.S. would've lost the ground to win.
