Big news!
I'm so glad to tell you It's said that the Nobel prize is most possibly going to a Chinese for Peace. This report comes from
Guardian>> with the title of
Chinese dissident tipped to win Nobel peace prize>>, and also this artical has been translated by
commondata>>, a volunteer on
Yeeyan>>, so that more Chinese people can read the
localized version>>, and share our feelings,
exciting or maybe
awkward.
They are Hu Jia and Zeng Jinyan. Perhaps, most people will question: Who is Hu Jia? Who is Zeng Jinyan? What have they done? ... It's really a long story. I can not count all of them out here, but fortunately, you can Google it>> instead. In short, they are just common couple in China, with no much money and great power. But in 2007, Zeng Jinyan were choosen one of the most impactive 100 people in the world by TIME>>, stand side by President Hu Jintao and Beijing Mayor Liu Qi. At the same time, Hu Jia was under house arrest, detained, and received an 3 year and half sentence for incitement to subvert state power. Really? Yes, it's true. Never mind, dear friend, it's really not your fault to know nothing about it.
My concern is, once Hu Jia and Zeng Jinyan win, I mean "if", will the CCTV report this event?
It will be the 1st Novel prize, a Chinese Chinese win, rather than Chinese Americans. But the winner is now in prison. It will shocked the whole country and point directly to the human right in China.
It's remind me of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela>>, South African statesman who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, and Aung San Suu Kyi>>, Burmese pro-democracy camp leader who won the same prize in 1991(please refer to>>). History seems repeatly happened -- dictatorship government, brave fighters, appeal for freedom and democracy, experience in jail ... so bless Hu Jia, bless Zeng Jinyan, bless China for a better future.
The result will come on October 10th.
