My generation matured through a complicated mix of experiences. There was ten years of Socialist education, ten years of the Cultural Revolution, ten years of the Open Door policy, and ten years of Westernization. All of these complexities can be seen in my work. However the ten years of the Cultural Revolution--Mao's culture--were the most influential, because during that period I grew from 12 to 22 years of age.
