  • I am launching a community based Art force of nature in London, bent on the freedom of creative expression & Ai Weiwei. It's called THE CHINESE WHISPER PROJECT - look on wordpress and twitter. (Can't post links) Help to pass it on.

    Currently seeking artists in the London area for journey of inspiration across media, using the five elements as a whisper of stimulation. Pass it on.

  • 因為他父親是 艾青,你們都懂得,替父報仇天經地義,換了是你們也會,但是那個­年代是有很多人都被批了的。那個年代的錯事

  • release ai weiwei

  • @jszhb yup, and the ironic thing is that his Dad used to be a hardcore communist. And when I mean hardcore communist I mean he actually cared for the people and believed that Communism would help the Chinese people. As a result, he was exiled by the Communist government. So you could say, really, the Communist government betrayed his Dad.

  • hahahaah i love weiwei

  • 中國人民活得可憐啊 ! 誰把俄共匪毒引入中國作為治國方式呢 !

    這些螞蟻, 蒼蠅, 蜜蜂的生活方式是昆蟲的非人生活呀 !

    有尊嚴的中國人都不會容忍 !!

    作為藝術家的艾未未就以他的特立獨行方式向共抗爭 !!!!!!

    願他的藝術精神得到中國千千萬萬人民認讚 !!!!!!!

    中共因而怕艾未未 , 怕得要死 , 只好把他鎖起來 !!!!!!! 真無恥啊 !!!!!

  • This is what the fuss is all about ...

  • thumbs down 4 weiwei

  • "Weiwei has a little hooligan inside of him. So he knows how to deal with other hooligans. Because the Communist Party are just hooligans, really. So you have to turn yourself into a hooligan as well."
