We’re jumping with JOY over this newest collection of 100 hilarious and entertaining Archie stories! I find it very touching that this book came about after reflection on his strained relationship with his own father. As many others interested in China, we sometimes wear blinders to that which makes us uncomfortable, and there is much in today's China that should make those of us who live in more open and democratic societies, more than uncomfortable.He is so filled with scorn for his fellow country-men and their sheep-like tendencies, but doesn’t question the fact that both he and his father were able to fuel much of their artistic livelihoods through loans from their family and the unwavering financial and domestic support of their wives and international friends.

And in such a place, even the existence of the father-son duo and many other such artist activists is a spark that might ignite a fire one day.
