THE mother of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao suffered a cerebral haemorrhage last year when she saw television footage of a student throwing a shoe at her son while he was visiting Britain, state media said on Saturday.
Mr Wen disclosed his mother's illness during an online chat on Saturday. He said she still had difficulty walking and was suffering from vision problems.
The Chinese transcripts of his question-and-answer session were ambiguous as to whether Wen's mother, who is in her late 80s, suffered the haemorrhage when she saw the incident on television or once Wen had returned to China.
But Xinhua news agency's English-language report said the two events were connected.
Martin Jahnke, a German researcher, hurled his shoe at Wen in a human rights protest while the premier was giving a lecture at Cambridge University on Feb 2, 2009. A court cleared him of committing a public order offence.
