Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace Prize yesterday. Everybody knows that by now. NOT!
Believe it or not, but Liu Xiaobo himself doesn’t know he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Nobody in China knows. Nobody!
Internet is being censored, websites are blocked and even CNN is off air!
The censorship is incredible, as I learned myself during my holidays. It’s not easy to find an internet connection, and if you find one, it’s very likely to be cut off while you’re typing you’re email. China is a big country, yet very small in some ways…
Yes, we ‘ve got a thousand points of light. China hasn’t!
On June 9, 1989, Chinese authorities confronted student protesters in Tiananmen Square, which led to the deaths of an untold number. From this event, the picture of a student standing before a line of tanks became the image that was broadcasted around the world.Believe it or not, but Liu Xiaobo himself doesn’t know he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Neil Young, upon seeing this photo and video, began commenting before performing "Rockin' In The Free World" that the song was going out to that "Chinese boy in Tiananmen Square who stopped the tanks." And in the official video the footage of that era has been used (between minute 2:00 and 2:30).
Freedom of speech is priceless!!
