The so-called culture nowadays is only a fake one with a superficial front. It is an empty lie.
We are living in a popular culture where everything is overexposed.
[Cultural department] understand nothing but bureaucratic daily affairs. They don't care about culture.
I don't personally feel any association with a kind of culture related to state, or culture related to power, which I think is always disgusting.
Now I've come to such a mixed culture: America, Europe, South America, Africa. And the politics are changing everywhere all the time and becoming even more unpredictable. There's no such thing as "fixed" culture. China is also becoming more global. Its problems are becoming international problems, becoming German problems, becoming American problems. Nothing is clear-cut. Perhaps I'll find my way - or get totally lost.
[Cultural departments] don't care about culture. Maybe they're the furthest from the people who understand culture.
Everything is selected by the central government without good judgment or an understanding of culture to make it really safe. They will become nobody to maintain their power and be raised to the next higher level.
China seems unpredictable because it has a distinct culture and social system. It is still a mystery to other parts of the world, even though the veil of China has been lifted many times as a result of globalization.
Modern Chinese culture is weak and lackluster.
China's culture and history are closely related to my living environment. This country is my birthplace. It is also where I grew up. Its culture and history shape my relations with family, friends, society, and daily life.
The people who control culture in China have no culture.
