"The development of the cultural industry cannot simply follow the development routes of other industries and be solely profit-oriented."(Alai, in the China Daily article)

Cultural "industry"? And he is going to lecture us on "spiritual and artistic value" of literature?

I saw him speak at the 2011 HK Book Fair. He looked positively listless, another burnt out author busier doing PR for the official Writers Association than writing. . .
