It is quite crazy but inspiring. The feelings came out in my heart when I saw the documentary about Ai Weiwei's work(5.12 citizens' name list investigation).It is so complex work to do within the disaster zone,by gathering and confirming comprehensive details about the students,such as their age,region,school,and grade, the group managed to affirm that there were 5192 students who perished in the disaster.On the other hand,I can't imagine how many inconsolable people in the earthquake that they have to face to.
In this work, black background and white characters,which looks very simple but full of power. The rolling names just like many different faces looking us and waiting for our help,which are clear and strong, like a Chinese archaism said "It takes some silence to make sound".
Ai Weiwei through a special way to express his anger, sorrow,disappointment and determination.The determination about protecting people's life and right should be get louder and louder.
However, there is not a perfect way for people to express their voices.It is quite a long journey we need more understandings and forgiveness in our humanity.
