Description

Engrossing... A remarkable story Sunday Times Above all a story of inherited resilience, strength of character and self-determination Observer Chinese dissident. Ground-breaking artist. Global icon. Here, through the sweeping, extraordinary story of his own and his father s lives, Ai Weiwei tells an epic tale of China over the last 100 years. He recounts a childhood in exile in a desolate place known as Little Siberia , his move to America as a young man and eventual return home, then his rise from unknown to art-world superstar and international human rights activist - and how his work has been shaped by living under a totalitarian regime. 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows is a story of exceptional creativity and passionate political beliefs, and a timely reminder of the urgent need to protect freedom of expression. *A GUARDIAN AND OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021* Intimate, unflinching ... an instant classic Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition
