2013新年前夕的生日问候——我们见到了刘霞
2012年12月28日是刘晓波囹圄中的生日，这晚21:00刚过，刘霞和刘晓波的朋友胡佳、郝建、刘荻、徐友渔等来到刘霞的住处，向她表示祝贺与问候，期望她尽早获得人身自由。
朋友们
...
先是站在刘霞住处的窗下呼唤刘霞，她听到后推开窗与大家应答，然后，大家设法一面应付保安，一面设法弄开门锁， 鱼贯而行，从底楼小门上楼梯，进到刘霞的房间。刘霞从房内出来迎接朋友们，进屋后，大家高兴地握手、拥抱，千言万语，都化成了哽咽和哭泣。
为了避免在刘霞的房间内与长期受命监守她的小区保安发生冲突，朋友们在室内待了三分钟，在大批监守人员冲来之前主动与刘霞道别。在楼下，有的人继续与刘霞说话，接住刘霞抛送朋友的巧克力，有的面对气势汹汹的监守人员解释说，我们只是作为朋友，在刘霞丈夫的生日赶来看望她，人之常情，你们没有理由乱来、耍蛮横，那样对大家都没有好处。
最终所有去看望刘霞的朋友都平安归家，大家衷心希望这是一个好的开端，期望刘霞的处境和心情随着新年的到来变好。

December 28, 2012 Flash Mob Action to Visit Liu Xia
Director: Hu Jia
Year: 2012
December 28, 2012 is the birthday of the Chinese Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Liu Xiaobo, who is still in prison now. Several netizens, Hu Jia, Hao Jian, Liu Di, Xu Youyu and etc, who are friends of Liu Xiaobo came to visit his wife Liu Xia at around 9pm. Liu Xia has been under house detention since Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to imprisonment in 2008. The action is to express their wish for her freedom.
The group of activists firstly attracted Liu Xia's attention outside her apartment beneath her window. They discussed how to get around the security guards through the side door. Liu Xia welcomed them with hugs and tears.
The meeting was brief, just three minutes as they wanted to avoid conflict with the security guards whose backup team would rush in soon. Some friends kept talking with Liu Xia through the windows and Liu Xia threw out some chocolates to them to express her thanks. Some were arguing with the security guards, explaining that they were just Liu Xia's friends to celebrate Liu Xiaobo's birthday with Liu Xia.
Eventually, all the friends managed to return home safely. We hope that this is a good beginning and best wish for Liu Xia in the new year.
Xu Youyu.
