The following are excerpts from the Hong Kong-based Tianya forum where netizens responded to news that Liu Xiaobo had won the Nobel Peace Prize:
Liu Xiaobo wins Nobel Peace Prize: Hong Kong Netizens’ Response
From the Tianya forum (Hong Kong):
“祝賀中國人再次榮獲諾貝爾獎(原創)”
“ Congratulations, a Chinese has once again won the Nobel Prize (Original creation)” (translator’s note: Netizen emphasized that this is an original creation to imply that this isn’t from the news headlines or Chinese official endorsement.)作者：FunkyMaMa 发表日期：2010-10-9 0:48:27
咁今次點呢 ?? 大陸媒體點報導呢 ??
What about this time? How would mainland Chinese media report on this news?
當冇發生 ?? 某獎停頒 ?? 定係講一句就算呢 ??
Would it pretend that nothing had happened? The awarding of the prize had ceased? Or just briefly mention it in a sentence and that’s it?
咁樣講唔會俾人刪呱, 我只係想知內地人點睇喱次同胞得獎啫
Talking about this won’t be deleted? I only want to know how mainlanders view that their compatriots won a prize.3#作者：MMBBlalala 回复日期：2010-10-9 0:54:00

I have always considered the Dalai Lama to be Chinese, he was exiled and people still don’t understand him. Chinese people are really tragic.7#作者：cabbies 回复日期：2010-10-9 8:31:00
真係攞命，由寻晚六点半新闻开始到而家，差唔多无新闻睇。TVB一直播就cut咗。阿爷呀阿爷，唔好甘啦。
Shit! Since 6:30 last night until now, there has been no news to watch. TVB (a Hong Kong news service) broadcast has been cut. Grandpa, grandpa (translator note: referring to Central government), don’t be like this.11#作者：Patabthk 回复日期：2010-10-9 9:43:00
夷, 小弟尋日用”花落中華, 白鴿滿天”為題, 內容只系”恭喜 恭喜 “.都因”敏感”被黑. 挑,賊眉賊眼. 心虛到死.
Yesterday I posted “flowers fell in China, pigeons filled the sky” in the subject line and in the message “Congratulations, Congratulations.” But it has been blocked because it is “sensitive”. F**K, “thief’s eyebrow, thief’s eye, guilty conscience” (translator’s note: implying that the censors have a guilty conscience”)
