The son of the prominent Chinese poet Ai Qing, who was repressed during the Cultural Revolution, Ai Weiwei shared his family's fate in exile and now, recalling images of his terrible childhood, tries to make sense of the connection between the times. He recounts his own similar experiences of abuse and humiliation, and the difficult decision to leave his family to study art in America - where he later befriended Allen Ginsberg, was inspired by Andy Warhol and the works of Marcel Duchamp. With candor and wit, he describes the details of his return to his homeland and his rise from unknown artist to international art superstar and human rights activist, showing how his work was influenced by life under an authoritarian regime.
