Zhang Chunqiao and the Cultural Revolution
From the final paragraph of the Economist's obituary of the Gang of Four member: By 1980, Mr Zhang and the others (of the Gang of Four) were scapegoats for his (Mao's) enormities. They were scapegoats, too, for the millions of Chinese who had helped to drive out neighbours, or chastise intellectuals, or hound local bureaucrats from office in the fervid days of Maoist upheaval. Mr Zhang's guilty silence in court was not only his, but theirs. It is a silence that China stills finds exceedingly hard to break.posted by Simon on 05.24.05 at 10:36 AM in the
