纽约时报在11月6日的文章：Thousands Chip In to Help Dissident Artist Pay Fine中提到：
“Some contributions have been small — symbolic, fractional sums of the total — while others have totaled thousands of dollars. Mr. Ai said one businessman offered him 1 million renminbi, about $157,000, but he turned it down, saying he preferred to receive smaller sums. Mr. Ai has insisted on describing the money as loans that he will repay.”
翻译：一些贡献是微小的－象征性的，占总额的微小一部分－而另外一些则有几千美元。艾先生说一位商人愿意提供给他一百万人民币（大约15.7万美元）但是他拒绝了，说他喜欢收到更小的数额。艾先生坚持说这些钱是借款，以后会归还。
文章的结尾还引用了艾的一句话：
“Over the past three years, during all the efforts I’ve made, sometimes I felt like I was crying alone in a dark tunnel,” he said. “But now people have a way to express their true feelings. This is a really, really beautiful event.”
翻译：“过去的三年，在我所付出的所有努力中，有时候我觉得我是在一个黑暗的隧道里面独自呐喊”，他说。”但是现在人们有办法表达他们真实的情感。这是一个非常非常美妙的事件。“ （注意他用了两个非常）
