Ai Weiwei’s memoir offers a profound examination of twentieth-century Chinese history viewed through the lens of his family’s displacement and his own evolution as an artist. By tracing his father’s exile during the Cultural Revolution alongside his own trajectory from a student in New York to a globally recognized activist, he explores the intersection of creative expression and political resistance.
