Liu Xiaobo remains a symbol of hope for a better future for China, where freedom of speech and respect for individual rights will become the foundation of society.

"Liu Xiaobo combined several exceptional qualities: insight, incredible sharpness of language and literary flair of a literary critic, doctor of Chinese philology, essayist and poet, who transferred his tools and skills from literature to the field of politics, supported by the analytical mind of a connoisseur and enthusiast of Western philosophy, organizational skills and the charisma of a leader. He combined all these talents with an uncompromising moral stance and an internal imperative to tell the truth."

Liu's texts burn like red-hot iron. He was accused of not being as profound as, for example, Bao Tong, that others should get the Nobel Prize because they are more radical, his excessive pro-Westernism was criticized, and most of all his deeply humanitarian, declared anti-nationalism, which in Communist China, obsessed with the warlike patriotism stirred up by the Party, which served as its mandate to exercise power and as a tool to appropriate the state and people, offended the inflated national pride. The truth is, however, that China has not seen such an insightful, sharp and accurate social critic since Lu Xun.
