艾未未：In the new era, I hope I can use Internet and Weibo freely. I hope the false charge against me can be clarified through [an] independent judicial process. I hope I won’t be followed, silenced and disappeared. I hope my family and friends won’t be threatened. If possible, please return my passport, which enables me to communicate, exhibit my work and travel freely. Is my expectation for the new era too luxurious?

一位读者： To Ai Wewei, you make so much money from so much mediocre art, like those silly statues of the twelve Chinese animal birthday signs that were up last year at 59th Street here in NYC. I am really sad for you that you cannot use the internet the way you want but all of your comments here are so self interested with "I" and "me" all over the place that one would think that you are the only artist with travails in all of China!
