Note
Liu Xiaobo (1955–2017) was a Chinese literary critic, human rights activist, and philosopher. He called for political reforms and was involved in campaigns to end Chinese Communist Party one-party rule in China. He was arrested numerous times, and was described as China's most prominent dissident and the country's most famous political prisoner.
