Quote by Jung Chang

I like to have Chinese furniture in my home as a constant and pain

I like to have Chinese furniture in my home as a constant and painful reminder of how much has been destroyed in China. The contrast between the beauty of the past and the ugliness of the modern is nowhere sharper than in China. – Jung Chang
