A girl holds the first Confucius Peace Prize certificate of honor after receiving it for the recipient Lien Chan, former Taiwan vice-president, as she is carried by Yang Disheng (R), a member of the Confucius Peace Prize jury, next to Chairman of Confucius Peace Prize Awards Committee Tan Chengliu (L), at the award ceremony in Beijing, December 9, 2010. It was meant to be China's answer to the Nobel Peace Prize, a timely riposte to the honouring of jailed dissident Liu Xiaobo. But the winner of the first "Confucius Peace Prize" didn't even bother to show up. Instead, it was left to a scared-looking girl, whom organisers did not properly identify, to collect a stack of bills for the $15,000 cash prize meant for former Taiwan vice-president Lien Chan.
