The article reports that a blank, white sheet of A4 paper used by protesters in China has taken worldwide resonance as it depicts the frustrations and hopes restrained under repressive regimes and censorship. It mentions that Chinese artist Xiao Lu states that blank sheet has an existential meaning. It states that blank paper echoes of abstract minimalist Robert Ryman's 1960s series of untitled white paintings.
