A self-described &#8220;group of netizens,&#8221; all mainland Chinese, conducted what they term a &#8220;flash mob action,&#8221; bypassing the guard posted at her Beijing apartment building to keep them out, in order to spend a few minutes with her in her apartment on December 28, 2012. The occasion was the birthday of her imprisoned husband, Liu Xiaobo, the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize awardee. Prints of the images in her touring show can be seen on the walls of her apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Click here to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VJumioueaAo&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;a\" target=\"_blank\">view the video on YouTube<\/a>, or watch it below (if it doesn&#8217;t appear, refresh your screen):<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VJumioueaAo\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" align=\"center\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022<\/p>\n<p>Here is an English translation of a brief description of the event in the words of one of the visitors, and below that the original Chinese version.<\/p>\n<div><em>Director: Hu Jia<\/em><\/div>\n<div><em>Year: 2012<\/em><\/div>\n<p><em>December 28, 2012 is the birthday of the Chinese Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Liu Xiaobo, who is still in prison now.

They discussed how to get around the security guards through the side door. Liu Xia welcomed them with hugs and tears.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The meeting was brief, just three minutes as they wanted to avoid conflict with the security guards whose backup team would rush in soon. Some friends kept talking with Liu Xia through the windows and Liu Xia threw out some chocolates to them to express her thanks. Some were arguing with the security guards, explaining that they were just Liu Xia&#8217;s friends to celebrate Liu Xiaobo&#8217;s birthday with Liu Xia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Eventually, all the friends managed to return home safely.
