Quotes by Chen Qiufan

“Since the 1990s, the ruling class of China has endeavoured to produce an ideological fantasy through the machinery of propaganda development (increase in GDP) is sufficient to solve all problems. But the effort has failed and so created even more problems. In the process of this idealogical hypnosis of the entire population, a definition of "success" in which material wealth is valued above all has choked off the younger generation`s ability to imagine the possibilities of life and the future. This is a dire consequence of the policy decisions of those born in the 1950s and 1960s, a consequence which they neither understand nor accept responsibility for.”

“People were like parasites burrowed into the smog.”

“Science" is itself one of the greatest utopian illusions ever created by humankind. I am by no means suggesting that we should take the path of antiscience—the utopia offered by science is complicated by the fact that science disguises itself as a value-neutral, objective endeavor. However, we now know that behind the practice of science lie ideological struggles, fights over power and authority, and the profit motive. The history of science is written and rewritten by the allocation and flow of capital, favors given to some projects but not others, and the needs of war.”
