I don’t have this concept that separates my art from my daily life. They are one thing to me. They are always one. How do you find the way to express… - Ai Weiwei

Consider why the quality of school dinners is declining, even as more and more golf courses are opened.

The only reason they put me in jail is my involvement in politics, my criticism of the authorities. Later the excuse for my detention became my “tax problem.” But internally they never told me anything about it. I don’t want to underestimate their intelligence, but up to this day I think what they did is very stupid. In fact, they even helped me in an ironic sense. They gave me a chance to explain what is happening with this system. They provided such a platform for me.

But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word – even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice.
