My review & commentary:

In the class, I saw Dr. Ai’s work – Sunflower Seeds (in London). Actually in the life, according to the website of Wikipedia and his own official website, he is a person who can publish his opinions bravely even though he knew it would be very dangerous. He is not only a good artist, but also a brave person in politics. He use his own way to describe the daily life for people.

[I like his promissory notes & stamps. The promissory notes supposed to be a traditional promissory notes in ancient China, and the sunflower seeds in his stamps are actually the par value expressed in Chinese characters]
