AI WEIWEI China is perhaps the most famous living artist and his harshest critics in the domestic market, the title of this kind of iconoclastic committed despised. What is not a bad thing when you consider that, recently, he almost lost both.
Mr. Ai was in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, preparing to testify at the trial of a fellow political activist. “By 3 a.m., we heard a very strong noise in the hallway, very brutal, much like a Hollywood movie — knocking on every door: ‘Open it up — we are the police!’ ” he said.They kicked open the door. I said, ‘How do I know you are the police?’ They said, ‘I’ll show you,’ and punched me here.” Mr. Ai pointed to the right side of his forehead. “It was a very solid punch.”A month later, at an art exhibition in Munich, Mr. Ai went to a doctor with a pounding headache and was rushed into surgery to drain a pool of blood from his brain. Mr. Ai, almost dead. Later, he said, his memory is still missing. On the other hand, "I have so many good memories anyway."
