She also said that the arrest of her son helped her to take a fresh look at many things happening in China, as well as to reconsider its attitude to the government.
An older woman said with regret that there was a party with 15 years' in anything without going and not thinking. " But what or estimate the regime refused to give it.
"I did not want to evaluate it [the party], I hope you understand me. Now I can only say that I believe in the Buddha, and I want to follow the path of Buddhism ", - said Gao.
Critics of the Communist government of China is called "enemies of the people and often their families are also subjected to pressure and various forms of repression. Therefore, the open support of opposition from relatives - this is a very risky step.

Gao Ke, sister of the artist told me that before his arrest, Ai Weiwei told that psychologically prepared for three things: jail, exile abroad and death, according to BBC in Chinese.
"He said this mother, when she begged him not to oppose the government," - says my sister.
Gao Ying, the artist's mother is a writer. In 1956 she married the poet Ai Qing, and in the same year gave birth to a son. Ai Weiwei's childhood was during the Cultural Revolution, when intellectuals were repressed by the communist regime.
Their family, like many others, was sent to "reeducation" in the countryside in Xinjiang, where they became the lowest strata of the society they lived in very difficult circumstances. A few years later they have rehabilitated.
  It was after this, according to the artist's sister, Ai Weiwei always sympathized with the poor and disenfranchised sections of society and protect their interests, which causes constant frustration of the ruling regime.
"He said he did not so much that he is not afraid to do that, he was very afraid, but if you will not do that, you will feel an even greater fear" - says my sister.
Recall that the well-known, opposition to Beijing, the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei was detained at Beijing airport on April 3, when he was about to fly to Hong Kong.

Only three days later under international pressure, Chinese authorities have confirmed the fact of his arrest, before he had been missing, and reported that Ai Weiwei is under investigation for "economic crimes".
Numerous international human rights organizations known artists, as well as some governments have expressed concern over the fate Ai Weiwei, as well as the Chinese government condemned for gross human rights violation.

German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle asked the Chinese government to immediately explain the disappearance of the artist and order his release. Party chairman Grünen Claudia Roth harshly criticized the behavior of the authorities in China: "The arrest of one of the most important contemporary artists of China - a voucher of the Government of Beijing in his own impotence." Probably, the Chinese government is afraid of the democratic revolution, similar to what is happening now in Africa, she suggests.
German politicians Renate Künast and Juergen Trittin, worrying about the fate of Weiwei, appealed to the Chinese ambassador in Germany have Hongbo. In the letter, they demanded the whereabouts of Ai Weiwei and the reasons for his arrest. They do not recognize the artist's warrantless arrest and believe that the Chinese authorities to violate his right to express personal opinions.

Minister of Science, Research and Art of Bavaria, Wolfgang Hoybish called the arrest of the artist unacceptable and contrary to the spirit of friendly dialogue in the arts between China and Germany.
In 2009, a show of "So Sorry" Ai Weiwei at the House of Art in Munich drew great public attention. While the artist was operated on in Munich after injuries sustained during a demonstration of his work in China.
Vice-chairman of the CDU, Michael Brown reported that the Committee on Culture, House of Representatives send protest note to the Chinese Embassy. "Art is free. The Chinese government must recognize this "- said Brown.
