Chinese citizens have never had the right to really express their opinions in the constitution it says you can, but in the real world it is more dangerous. In the west people think it's a right they're born with. Here it's a right given by the government, and one that's not really practised.

Chinese landscape paintings often include tiny figures - as if to emphasize the grandeur of nature of which humankind is one small part.

Think big and live small.
