He was particularly focused at exposing an alleged corruption scandal in the construction of Sichuan schools that collapsed during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. He intensively uses the internet to communicate with people all over China, especially the young generation.

A sensitive man (Weibo)

Reference to Chinese artist and dissident Ai Weiwei (Ài Wèiwei 艾未未).

"Loving the future" became fashionable when Ai Weiwei was detained for 81 days in 2011. The code combines homophones and near-homographs to hint at Ai's name. The surname Ai ( 艾) sounds the same as "love" (ài 爱), while Weiwei (Wèiwei 艾未未) becomes "future" (wèilái 未来) simply by adding two small strokes to the second character.

The use of this code lead to the phrase "love the future" being blocked from Weibo search results around June-August 2011.

One of the designers behind the iconic Bird's Nest Stadium for the Beijing Olympics, Ai was prominent in the art world long before he became a thorn in the Chinese government's side. He started to rankle the authorities in May 2008 when he led a project to collect the names of children who died in the Sichuan earthquake. Active on Twitter, In February 2011 he tweeted about the calls for a "jasmine revolution" in China modeled after protests in Egypt. After receiving frequent visits from the police and seeing the destruction of his Shanghai studio in late 2010, and in the midst of a crackdown reflecting government anxieties over the Arab Spring, Ai attempted to leave for Hong Kong on April 3, 2011.
