Freedom of poor Hai Ning left a colourful past in China on a life in America

From his sparsely furnished studio U-outside sunset, Hai Ning me e-mails. During the year 1999: “I am now 80 per cent of monk.” In 2000, when he waved to work and save money, so her daughter 17 years may come from the People’s Republic of China in live with him: “I am a monk of 30 per cent, 30 per cent of Bohemia and 40 per cent of capitalist wolf.” Last week, Ning Ning Hai returned his 6 feet, dressed in costume welding body on top of the barricades Ocean Beach, questioned the collection of surfers, dogs and other Californians in the sun on the beach, and said: ” Here I Freedom, poor, without pressure from family or a group of reflection. ”

Most immigrants come to the USA, for their happiness, but Hai Ning, 46, came here to discover one of the least tributaries of the American dream: puritanism. For Hai Ning, the child of Mao propagandists in China, the meaning of the ideals of life, and money corrupts almost always ideals. Thus, he pursued a life of simplicity, it gives him time to walk from the beach and write poems. “Describe me an anomaly or Weirdo,” he laughs as cape. To be honest, Hai Ning is a little odd - he left a post in China TV hosts not only a sedan, but two (one for officials of the economy, and one for regular business hours) and an office with three phones, this destination to come and do what he described as “almost nothing”. (To survive, he Mandarin Voice-over and translation work, for which it paid well.)

He always has the great personality of television host - his English is not only vague but also with various mellifluent flow and conscience to be references to Emily Dickinson, the Interstate Highway System and Rodin. His Over-the-top excessive undoubtedly helped to develop the celebrity in a country of 1.5 billion people, but now it is hidden under the training unnecessary costumes, it collects the trash, buy or goodwill . But for Hai Ning, has lived through three different economic systems - Maoist communism, anarchy of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the people of the new capitalism - the possibility to choose its own standard of living is a luxury.
