Bei Dao

"Let me tell you, world, I—do—not—believe! If a thousand challengers lie beneath your feet, Count me as number one thousand and one.I don't believe the sky is blue: I don't believe in thunder's echoes; I don't believe that dreams are false: I don't believe that death has no revenge."

"I am no hero In an age without heroes I just want to be a man"

"I will not kneel on the ground Allowing the executioners to look tall The better to obstruct the wind of freedom"

"Freedom is nothing but the distance between the hunter and the hunted"

"we are not guiltless long ago we became accomplices of the history in the mirror"

"a perpetual stranger am I to the world I don't understand its language my silence it can't comprehend"
