Li concluded his statement with the message, delivered via three lines by two canonical Chinese poets from the ancient Tang and Song dynasties, that his home was where he felt safe. The subtext to any literate Chinese was clear: “China may be my ancestral country, but I am a free man, free to choose my home.”
李用中国古代唐宋两位诗人的三句诗来结束自己的声明，称家让他感到安全。其中的潜台词十分明确：“中国可能是我的祖国，但我是自由人，我有权选择把家安在哪里。”
