Fang Binxing, the inventor of the infamous Great Fire Wall of China, received over 20,000 messages on his Weibo account telling him to “get lost” (滚) after he posted a message welcoming in the Year of the Snake. Writing in third person, Fang said “Fang Binxing wishes everyone a happy new year! I wish everyone success in the Year of the Snake!” Soon after, he began receiving a flood of angry messages from Chinese netizens.
Fang was previously on the end of a similar protest in May 2011 when students of Wuhan University mockingly welcomed him during a scheduled speech. Upon entering room 404 of the computer block, Fang was greeted with a screen depicting the infamously frustrating “404 not found” message, and was subsequently pelted with eggs by one particular student.

Hey that's pretty cool. Is there a video of the egg throwing on Youtube? I can't wait to tell my friends on facebook all about it.
