About “ A  Dialogue about ‘ Dialogue’”

Fifteen years ago, after I fired those two shots at the National Art Museum of China, Beijing, The National Art Museum was closed.

Fifteen years ago, after the report of the gunshot, he was drawn into the “ gunshot incident.”

Fifteen years ago, I didn’t know how to explain, and he became a spokesperson for this work.

Fifteen years ago, When I was bewildered by the gun, “ Love”seemed to have come to me.

For fifteen years, I didn’t say a word about this work.

Today, after fifteen years, I have finally spoke the words that I wanted to say as an artist.

Today, after fifteen years, I finally dare to faxe a place where there is truth.
