The first wrong Chinese was Gao Xingjian, a critical playwright, artist, and novelist, who received the Nobel Prize for literature in 2000, while living in exile in Paris. The latest is Liu Xiaobo, a literary critic and political writer, who was awarded this year’s Nobel Prize for Peace while serving a prison sentence for “subversion” of the Communist regime.
翻开诺贝尔奖的历史，第一位获奖的错误中国人是著名剧作家，艺术家和小说家高行健，他在2000年获得了诺贝尔文学奖，当时他正在巴黎过着流亡的日子。最近的一位则是政治评论家和作家刘晓波，他是今年的和平奖得主，因被判“颠覆”国家政权罪而身陷牢狱。鉴于达赖喇嘛不是中国公民，尽管他的得奖是最让中国政府不可容忍的，但我还是没有把他计算在内。
