A girl holds 100,000 renminbi ($15,000) cash for the first Confucius Peace Prize after receiving it for the recipient Lien Chan, former Taiwan vice-president, as she is carried by Yang Disheng, a member of the Confucius Peace Prize jury, 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.
