China has spent the last 30 years taking over Western technology and management methods. Now, it wants to increase its soft power, but as the recent row over the Frankfurt book fair shows, that is easier said than done.

"She is so unique in her approach that no matter how much her designs have changed over the years, all of them are still legibly saying, “I am Zaha,” “I am Zaha.”... 
[S]he was like a method actor who became her work and in the process confirmed both its authenticity and its beauty... 
Today, the world is suddenly a less authentic and a less beautiful place."[2]

她的設計切入總是與眾不同,即使在歲月淬煉的歷程裡,在持續幻化的演變後,仍可聽見每個作品吟詠著:「我是薩哈」、「我是薩哈」…
她就像一個方法演員,她的作品就是她的肉身,在變身的過程裡演繹真與美…
而今天,世界突然失去一點真,人間頓時褪色一分美...[2]
