Life and human society are the chief concern of Confucianism and through it the chief concern of the Chinese people.

If we all say the same thing then I think the government has to listen. But because no one is saying it I become singled out even though what I'm saying is common sense. It's very essential values that we all have to protect. But in Chinese society people are giving up on protecting these values.

I meant that the Chinese people are not aware of their own entrapment. They believe they live in a free society but don't realize how much they are being monitored and controlled how much the information they receive is restricted and warped until they step out of line that is and feel the heavy hand of the state fall on them.

For me I think the Lord wanted me to win to put a smile on Chinese people's faces.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

Math and science fields are not the only areas where we see the United States lagging behind. Less than 1 percent of American high school students study the critical foreign languages of Arabic Chinese Japanese Korean or Russian combined.

Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms molecules cells tissues and organs.

Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture and that's everywhere around the world.

Romantic music really stirs my soul. And of course I love Chinese music it makes me feel closer to home.

My music is bejewelled it's colourful it's romantic it shines.

Eradicating a religion of kindness is I think a terrible thing for the Chinese to attempt.

Clearly the Chinese know that we want a good relationship with them.

The Russians are turning east to the Chinese - to the Europeans' surprise. It always seemed to me that the relationship between Russia and China would shift from being based in Marx and Lenin to being based in oil and gas.

Before machines the only form of entertainment people really had was relationships.

I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world.

Machines are worshipped because they are beautiful and valued because they confer power they are hated because they are hideous and loathed because they impose slavery.

Pound's translation of Chinese poetry was maybe the most important thing I read. Eliot a little bit later.

I did not have a very literary background. I came to poetry from the sciences and mathematics and also through an interest in Japanese and Chinese poetry in translation.

This film 'Hero' talks about the peace of Chinese people.

So when I do Chinese cooking I mix everything together then the kids have to eat their vegetables. They won't have the patience to pick them out.

Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it it shines clear.

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

I look at American movies the big muscles and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.

Research is four things: brains with which to think eyes with which to see machines with which to measure and fourth money.
