The Chinese government has tried hard to erase Liu Xiaobo from the memories of Chinese citizens. Mentions of him have been forbidden in state-run media, and are wiped clean from social media. But when he died in his hospital bed, released from prison too late for any treatment that might have helped him, many Chinese evaded the Chinese censors and posted on social media, in code, since they couldnt say his name. Some posted an image of that empty chair. Some posted the dates of his birth and death, 1955 to 2017 - 61 years. Chan Siu-kam has more.
