Gao Xingjian admits that he can't get interested in anything that doesn't look to be extremely difficult. He has never once repeated himself in any of the 16 previous plays he has written and directed. This is his weakness, and also his obsession.
高行健坦承，困難度不高的工作他做起來不帶勁，他以前編導過的十六齣戲從來沒有一齣重複，這是他的毛病，也是他的癖好。
