Police in China say they are seeking a man who allegedly threw an egg and shoes at the designer of the country's Great Firewall of web controls.

Fang Binxing was lecturing at Wuhan University, Hubei province, when the alleged protest took place.

Mr Fang is reviled by many Chinese web users for overseeing development of China's system of internet censorship.

The computer scientist, who is Principal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, has been dubbed the Father of the Great Firewall.

"The egg missed the target. The first shoe hit the target. The second shoe was blocked by a man and a woman," Hanunyi tweeted.

Hero Hanunyi!

"I definitely hit Fang. As for whether there are pictures will depends on the two students," read a post by one of the students, @hanunyi, "I came by myself. It was not difficult to hit with my shoes but a little bit harder to target him really successfully." Two others, @zfangzhou and @yinhm, said the protest has been organised spontaneously after hearing word that Mr Fang was on the campus.
