The CSUSB Modern China Lecture Series Presents: Dr. Perry Link: The Thought of Liu Xiaobo, China's Nobel Peace Prize Laureate November 4, 2014 12pm to 2pm CSUSB Pfau Library, PL-4005, 4th floor Talk Description: Liu Xiaobo, winner of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize and advocate of non-violence, sits in a prison in northeast China serving an eleven-year prison sentence for “inciting subversion of the state.” Although Liu is best known for his political stands, especially his advocacy of human rights and an end to authoritarian government, his writings reach deeply into history and culture in both China and the West. His book "No Enemies, No Hatred" includes essays on law, corruption, humor, sex, the world-view of farmers, the rise of the Internet, ancient Chinese thought, the weaknesses of Western civilization, and much more.
