When you have strict censorship of the internet, young students cannot receive a full education. Their view of the world is imbalanced. There can be no true discussion of the issues.

I don't believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games, it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.

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

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

My definition of art has always been the same. It is about freedom of expression, a new way of communication. It is never about exhibiting in museums or about hanging it on the wall.

Society becomes very destructive.

I have to respect my life, and free expression is part of my life. I can never really silence myself.
