It's all about perspectives

Young people, see what's out there!

How you visulaize something si very important

Young people, you need a vision

I can give it to you

To elevate our political standing, first elevate our cultural standing

When times are difficult you spend money to live

now you spend money on getting a lifestyle

Why do people buy something

It's the design

It's a concept that's lacking in our country

If it wasn't for New York I dont think I would have the ideas that I have today

Reading these magazines thinking it would be great if China had its own

I waited 20 years for the right time to do it

China's entry toWTO means country being turned into a factory for the world

Unless

it establishes it own identity

It's all in the packaging of things

Why can't we pacage our own labels

why can't we have our own ideas?

China needs to see what's the best out there so people can move towards that

I didn't create this to leave it to other people to run

I am very hands-on

Money is a tool for me to pursue other things

You know waht I spend the most money on?

Books I have 70,000 of hem

I can fly to Paris for the opening of my show for one night and be back in Shanghai the next day

9:30 a.m.: It's meeting with different people

discussing general issues at work

p.m. private sessions to solve specific problems

evening: devoted to painting

My business and art side have a healthy relationship

without all the other exposure, my art will not grow

I am just passing a message to others that this is the way Chinese people should progress

I can't ossibly do everything well

i just dont want people to forget me
