meeting a former soldier that fired shoots in Tiananmen...


...very strange that I met this artist, Chen Guang, in the summer of 2007 at an art exhibit of the most shocking art that I've ever seen... I had a very difficult time with his art and with much of the art in the show... but knowing a little more about his background makes me really think... a former soldier that fired shots at protesters on June 4, 1989 when he was only 17, now he is the featured artist in a New York Times Headline article:Tiananmen Square Scars Soldier Turned Artist
