Other guests attending the same panel discussion include Co-Founder of Zhihu, Zhang Liang, and Founder and CEO of Heart of Machine SYNCED, Zhao Yunfeng.

“I regard technology actually as a crutch, or as a form of media to understand. I hope to prove that no matter what, when anyone enters the consciousness, many kinds of technology can help you interfere with knowledge, or so-called aesthetics. But the core of art is still something imperceptible, something that cannot be calculated. That is to say, if you are really still a human being, you can still perceive.” — Renowned sculptor and artist Xiang Jing

“Knowledge should be an integral part of us, rather as a state of binary opposition. All of our knowledge, all of our senses and all of our opinions, all put together, they form us. As long as your heart is open, or your heart is fresh and alive, everything you encounter is all fresh.” — Co-Founder of Zhihu, Zhang Liang

“From my point of view, the fundamental core of knowledge has never changed. The core of it is people, and they produce knowledge, then pass on to readers. What is new about knowledge then? Maybe there are a few aspects. First,  it has become more efficient. Second, it forms a new structural state of knowledge. For example, in the past it was books and websites, but now through more platforms that organize knowledge, one can gain a more efficient learning path. Third, I think the way of disseminating knowledge has changed.” — Founder of Heart of Machine SYNCED, Zhao Yunfeng
