It doesn't make any sense to talk about whether Liu deserves such a prize. It makes more sense to talk about whether it is necessary to have such a prize nowadays. As we know, most Nobel Prizes are for people who make great achievement in scientific areas which are actually beyond politics, nationality, gender, and race. These are just beautiful things. However, the existence of Nobel Peace Prize is just a joke. Why? Peace is a good thing, right? Why do I say this Prize is a joke? OK, let’s first explain the definition of peace. :oH~{EQ
>UP{=`
Peace is a word versus war. If there is no war, then there is no peace. So before defining what is peace, let’s define what is war. In human’s devil history, you can hardly find a year in which there is not any war on this planet. The goals of wars are often interests of a small part of group of humans who control and administrate other people in their group. So wars often happen between two or more groups of humans. Humans in each group usually think or are brainwashed to think they represent the justice (although this is not always true because few people want to die in the war). So each group wants to defeat the others and they use “peace” to name the situation after the war. Therefore, anyone that is firmly on their side (for any reason) would be considered a representative of peace by this group of people. So the problem comes. Before the world becomes communist, there are always multiple groups of people that potentially compete (or even fight) with each other. A peace representative in one group will be never considered a peace representative in his/her opponent group. 7*7Z&1*3

Nobel Prizes have been developing in the western countries. The ridiculous thing that I introduced above seldom occurs in other Prizes because those are for scientists. But it definitely leads to a joke on the Nobel Peace Prize. Ew4>+o!

To any people still confused by the definition of peace: absolute peace never exists. That's why I said if there is no war there is no peace. I conclude this based on humans' history. I don't think anyone can deny, though any arguments are welcome. In my eyes, absolute peace only exists in a communist world which may come true one day but not right now. We are all living in the present not in the future. No one can tell if the future is communist or not. T@n-^B !Xq

I never mean communism is unreal. Actually, I deeply love a communist world and ever considered to be a Communist Party member. I just think it’s a really good dream for right now. Karl Marx ignored something very important when he proposed the beautiful communist idea: ,@_$acm

1) people are selfish in nature though they can be educated (or in some people’s words sometimes called brainwash). 09f:%!^u

2) people are different in both IQ and EQ which unfortunately determines the communist education may not be very successful on some people within a certain period of time, although with appropriate methods and enough time they may be converted. There still seems to be hope. wW7W+,{o

3) However, the most embarrassed thing is people’s life are limited. Nobody can live forever. This is one of the most important nature that Karl Marx overlooked. This causes communist education fail among some people because they cannot live for more than a thousand years. MZ(TST"

4) people’s mind might change. For discussion, let’s just throw out any prejudice or attitude on which kind of politics or conception is correct. Democratic politics will be knocked out first here. Because people are not in uniform mind, therefore frequent election will cause someone against communism to be the leader sooner or later. Will dictatorial politics survive longer? Unfortunately, nope! This is because any leader who firmly advocates communism will die one day. And his successor will be not necessarily supporting his idea. So the only hope is to wait for those smart biologists patiently. Maybe one day they can make humans live forever. At that time, it is possible to realize communism. {|}tp<:2

So before smart biologists develop drugs for human beings to become immortal, there does not exist absolute peace that you guys may usually think. There is only relative peace that I introduced in the first paragraph. Since there is only relative peace, there is not any reason to have a international "peace" prize. _L6WbRu|

In a world, Nobel Peace Prize is nothing but trash.
