...Protection Bureau blamed on the lack of a breeze. But unlike the 2006 and 2007 tests, which ran for just three and four days, respectively, this year's limitations will have been in place for nearly three weeks when the Olympics kick off. Hao says he expects to see clearer skies within one week. "After a few days, the air quality will be improved," he says. "How many days? That depends on the weather...

The likeness is only passing - he had no mirror in his cell - and the line is uncertain: in lieu of a brush, he used the pieces of a disassembled cigarette lighter. The theme couldn't be clearer, however. The artist's face is enshrouded by prison bars. Yet sprouting from his head is a verdant tangle of vines that sprawls to the painting's edge - a fierce assertion that the mind, unlike the body, will not be held captive.
