Even though I just heard the news that Ai Weiwei is out (we will have to wait for more details but Human Rights Watch says, "His detention was political and his release is political. It is the result of a huge domestic and international outcry that forced the government to this resolution … I think Beijing realised how damaging it was to hold China's most famous artist in detention,"), I am still sharing Mary-Louise Schumacher wonderful posts
The detention of Ai Weiwei, China's most outspoken and famous living artist, cannot be separated from the story of his father, the renowned poet Ai Qing, who also criticized the Communist regime.
