Blog From Ai Weiwei Poem by Roy Lee

Perhaps the work that contributed most to Weiwei's imprisonment and the destruction of his studio was his investigation of corruption in the construction of the schools that collapsed during the 12th May,2008 earthquake in Sichuan, China. Like many others, Weiwei investigated how improper material and the contravention of civil engineering laws led to the wholesale destruction of schools (which led in turn to the deaths of thousands of children trapped within them) (Khan Academy 2011) His blog was closed by the authorities in 2009. When opened now it suggest visiting other blogs.
