Einer der größten Künstler unserer Zeit erzählt sein Leben vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte Chinas. In seinen Erinnerungen schildert Ai Weiwei seinen künstlerischen Werdegang vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte seiner Familie. Sein Vater Ai Qing war einst ein enger Vertrauter Mao Zedongs und Chinas einflussreichster Dichter. Im Zuge der Kulturrevolution brandmarkte man Ai Qing als "Rechtsabweichler" und verurteilte ihn zu Zwangsarbeit. Die gesamte Familie wurde in einen abgelegenen Teil des Landes verbannt, der als "Klein-Sibirien" bekannt war.

Once a close associate of Mao Zedong and the nation’s most celebrated poet, Ai Weiwei’s father, Ai Qing, was branded a rightist during the Cultural Revolution, and he and his family were banished to a desolate place known as “Little Siberia,” where Ai Qing was sentenced to hard labor cleaning public toilets. Ai Weiwei recounts his childhood in exile, and his difficult decision to leave his family to study art in America, where he befriended Allen Ginsberg and was inspired by Andy Warhol and the artworks of Marcel Duchamp.

In his widely anticipated memoir, Ai Weiwei - one of the world's most famous artists and activists - tells a century-long epic tale of China through the story of his own extraordinary life and the legacy of his father, Ai Qing, the nation's most celebrated poet. Hailed as 'the most important artist working today' by the Financial Times and as 'an eloquent and unsilenceable voice of freedom' by the New York Times, Ai Weiwei has written a sweeping memoir that presents a remarkable history of China over the last 100 years while illuminating his artistic process.

But few are willing to acknowledge and heed its warning. 1000% is the book that will take you into the aftermath of this reality. It is not intended to diminish the brilliance and opportunity that sports provide.

Foreword by Noel Blanc, Mel Blanc's son: This is an audiobook for any animation fan, young or old, who might wonder what it would be like to actually work directly with Hollywood's greatest cartoon voice artist: my father, Mel Blanc. Millions continue to celebrate him today as the voice of Bugs Bunny and nearly every other Looney Tunes character, but only a rare handful of people ever got to share time with him. Chuck McKibben was one of those few, and he has created a highly entertaining and surprisingly revealing memoir that will transport you back to the early 1970s.

Der er ikke nogen, der går gennem livet uden at begå fejl. Når det sker, kan man vælge at grave sig ned og skamme sig helt ind i knoglerne - eller man kan dele sine dårlige valg med andre og se på det som en vigtig lektie. Og måske endda prøve at grine af det. Det er præcis, hvad vi vil gøre i denne podcast. Vi vil hylde og elske alle de ting, vi roder os ud i og efterfølgende fortryder. Det gør vi hver uge, hvor vi inviterer en gæst i studiet til en snak om, hvad de virkelig, inderligt fortryder, de har gjort. Velkommen til 1000 regrets.

Gennem sin fars og sin egen livshistorie fortæller kunstneren Ai Weiwei historien om Kina i de seneste 100 år.

Ai Weiweis far, Ai Qing, som blev en berømt digter, faldt i unåde hos partiet under kulturrevolutionen og blev sendt i eksil. Ai Weiwei voksede derfor op i et barskt og øde område kaldet Lille Sibirien i det nordvestlige Kina, hvor faderen rengjorde de offentlige toiletter som strafarbejde. Her boede familien i 16 år. Da Mao døde, og kulturrevolutionen ophørte, kunne de tage tilbage til Beijing.

After being captured in Singapore and transported to the infamous Burma railway, Colonel Owtram was appointed the British Camp Commandant at Chungkai, one of the largest POW camps.
