Kniha nejslavnějšího čínského umělce současnosti daleko přesahuje běžný memoár. Vyprávění začíná dlouho předtím, než Aj Wej-Wej přišel na svět. Příběhy Ajova otce, Mao Ce-Tungova blízkého spolupracovníka a ceněného lyrického básníka Aj Čchinga a samotného Wej-Weje se odehrává na širokém plátně čínské historie poslední stovky let, v kulisách dějinných otřesů a vzájemně se zrcadlí. Stejně jako otec odchází v mládí za uměleckou inspirací do Paříže, volí syn ve svých čtyřiadvaceti letech únik před čínskou realitou do Spojených státu, setkává se s Allenem Ginsbergem a objevuje Andyho Warhola. Podobně jako Aj Čching sdílel za Kulturní revoluce ve vyhnanství pohnutý osud levicové avantgardy, Aj Wej-Wej se v důsledku společenské angažovanosti od roku 2008 rovněž konfrontuje s režimem. Autor líčí rovněž čínskou uměleckou scénu na přelomu milénia a poměry v Číně po potlačení demokratického hnutí i vlastní snahu o svobodné umělecké vyjádření. Zároveň čtenáře provází po vlastním díle zahrnující plastiky, fotografie, film i elektronická díla.

Ai Weiwei is one of the world's most acclaimed artists and dissidents. This book presents him in conversation with theorists, critics, journalists, and curators about key moments in his life and career. These wide-ranging conversations flow between topics such as his relationship with China, the meaning of citizenship, moving his studio to Lesbos to be on the front lines of the migrant crisis, how to make art, and technology as a tool for freedom or oppression. Ai opens up about his relationship to his father as a poet and as a dissident forced into hard labor in a small village after the Cultural Revolution. He conjures up scenes from his long relationship with New York: dropping out of Parsons because he couldn't afford tuition, making portraits in Washington Square Park as an undocumented immigrant in the 1980s, taking photos for the New York Times at demonstrations in Tompkins Square Park, and returning to set up the Good Fences Make Good Neighbors project across the city. These candid, spontaneous conversations reveal why Ai Weiwei has become such a major force in contemporary art and political life.
