BEIJING — Authorities are seeking a college student who sneaked into a lecture hall at one of China’s most prestigious universities Thursday and tossed eggs and shoes at a computer scientist who was the architect of China’s strict Internet controls.
According to Twitter postings from a man claiming responsibility for the attack, the eggs missed, but at least one shoe hit its intended target: Fang Binxing, popularly described as “the father of the Great Firewall,” who was giving a talk on Internet security. The student, known for the moment only by his Twitter handle, @hanunyi, apparently fled the scene in bare feet.
