Hate messages flood China firewall creators microblog

Fang was surprised to see the barrage of hate mail when he opened his account on a popular microblog Sina.Com. Fangs handiwork brought down on him an intense barrage of online criticism in December when he opened a microblog on Sina.com,official Global Times said.

Within three hours,nearly 10,000 Web users left messages for the father of the GFW. Few were complimentary, it said. Fang who had shut down his microblog account after a few days to escape the fury however dismisses it as a sacrifice for the country. One proud tale,Fang would like to narrate was how his GFW made China impregnable with the founder of Facebook,Mark Zuckerberg openly wondering how to break it during his visit to Beijing last year. Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg is said to have pleaded with local Chinese entrepreneurs to show him how to beat the Firewall. Ever since I landed here in China I cant log onto my Facebook account! Zuckerberg reported to have said. The joke might not be real,but the Great Firewall of China is very much alive, the daily said.
