"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

"In 2005, when I was working on PRD Anti-Heroes (2006), it was a crucial
moment in China. By that time there had already been a lot of discussion about
the Pearl River Delta and the subject was open for argument and debate. It summarizes my years of observation and experience."
