An Empty Lectern Buried in Shoes –Kuang Biao QQ.com
China Netizens are hailing a student who claims to have thrown the first shoe at the Architect of the Great Firewall of China Dr. Fang Binxing subsequently also being pelted with eggs.
Police in Central China, have refused to comment on the alleged attack on Fang Binxing at Wuhan University by the student identifying himself as ‘Hanunyi 1’ whose Internet posts have been deleted by censors designed to sniff out news and information that the central government determines to undermine a harmonious society.
The real meaning of this “shoe incident” is that Chinese people like all other people in the world regard freedom as a basic human right and everybody wants it.
