Q&A in English/Mandarin. Feb. 7, 2014. (中英文) 【崔健2014年2月7日在纽约大学谈"六四"（视频）】崔健："虽然我们不去谈论它（六四），但是实际上这件事一直在我们非常非常深的......哪怕是恐惧，哪怕是创伤，哪怕是一种技巧、或是一种滑头，或是一种诡辩，但是它都存在了你的身体里。""大家不要认为你的信心没有了，或者你的耐心没有了，结果你的原则就没有了。" 崔健在首映他首次编导故事片《蓝色骨头》时，评拒绝出演央视春晚，用霍金"灰洞"理论评国人（包括官员）普遍心理。Cui Jian, Father of Chinese Rock, adopts Stephen Hawking's "Gray Hole" theory on common Chinese mentality, including that of government officials and predicts an eliminant upheaval. Cui has been the symbol of Chinese rebels since the 1980's. His subversive songs were anthems of protests in 1989. He performed for students in Tiananmen Square not long before the massacre. As his punishment, he wasn't allowed to perform in large public venues for the next 20 years.
I interviewed him for CNN in 2001. Last night (Feb. 7, 2014) I had the honor to see him again at the screening of his directorial debut of a very subversive feature film about the contemporary Chinese society. "Blue Sky Bones" 《蓝色骨头》portrays an introverted young rocker/rapper in agony, born to a father who's a secret agent and a mother, a stunning beauty who was hand picked by the Party to marry the heir of a top Communist leader (supposedly Lin Liguo, son of Mao's designated successor Lin Biao), but was somehow caught in a gay love triangle. After the screening, I asked Cui a question. And his answer likening China as a Gray Hole, drawing upon Steve Hawking's theories, was very intriguing -- there's hope in China, and lots of it! I recorded this at the screening at New York University. - Rose Tang, writer/activist based in New York.
