In commemoration of Mao Zedong's death, 35 years ago,
18 provinces voiced their desire to renew the Cultural Revolution.
Meanwhile, voices opposing Mao were also heard.
Scholars believe it must be justified that Mao's policy had
demolished human civilization, thus it will help develop
the healthy social system and democracy in China.
China's top leader, Mao Zedong, died 35 years ago on Sept. 9.
Each year, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) commemorates
his death and each year people accuse Mao of causing China
to lose its rightful place in the world.
Some people claim that Mao is a devil lingering around,
while others justify his crimes, even though Mao's actions
caused the deaths of tens of millions of people.
Still others consider Mao as a hero.
Commemoration activities honouring Mao's were held in
Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing, where the atmosphere
was very much like it was during the Cultural Revolution.
Political commentator, Wu Fan: Why is Mao so popular again?
China is at a critical crossroad and needs direction.
Reforms in China are hard to implement, whether they involve
politics, economics, life, culture, ideology, or the inequality between the rich and the poor.
People opposed to Mao's doctrines also abound and they too are
making their voices heard.
Beijing Institute of Technology professor and China expert,
Hu Xingdou, handed a proposal to the National People's Congress
on September 9, suggesting that they rename it
Chairman Mao Memorial Hall or Ancestor Memorial Hall.
Hu explained in his proposal, If you can't review Mao Zedong's
political reforms, China wouldn't be able to make forward progress.
Mao put the Party above the law, making it a political cult that
follows no rules but its own.
It involves itself in brainwashing, controlling people's freedom,
eliminating different opinions, other than its own, it violates the law,
it constantly fights, it instigates mass movements, it controls
people though the census system, labor system, state-owned system,
bureaucratic system, and so on.
The Party has a far-reaching influence and intentionally
blocks needed reforms.
Journalist and writer, Tie Liu, said that although 18 provinces' are
commemorate Mao; eventually the senior leaders are aware of the effect of following Mao's route.
Tie Liu, a writer, said: If Bo Xilai was a top leader,
he would sentence Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabo to death.
This is the reason why the CCP didn't hold a commemoration
ceremony for Mao, this year.
They may have been accused of committing crimes
by not strictly following Mao's philosophy,
and the result would be similar to Liu Shaoqi,
who died in Kai Feng, due to lack of food.
Wu Fan pointed out that Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabo, who represent
one group, are constantly battling a pro-Mao group.
The two groups' opinions will greatly influence
the 18th National People's Congress.
Wu Fan: To follow Mao's way means to support class struggle,
to execute corrupt officials, to turn over private property
to the state, and to rekindle the Cultural Revolution.
Yet, who wants this?
Bo Xilai does, because he wants more power.
In fact, Mao's way doesn't work!
People gathered in Tai Yuan City, Shan'anxi Province on
the afternoon of Sept. 9, and sang the Mao song, The East is Red.
They then put flowers near Mao's portrait and recited Mao's poems.
Some held their right fist to the sky pledging that they would
follow Mao's way of socialism, to their death.
However, when police came and arrest the host,
people fought back and the situation was out of control.
Police detained nine people, two of whom were subjected to
administrative detention on charges of organising illegal gatherings.
Currently, in the mainland, there are two political groups
that are at war with each other: one that supports Mao and one that opposes Mao.
Wu Fan believes that eliminating the CCP can save China,
and neither of the two opposing groups should exist.
Also, he doubts that the 18th National People's Congress
will be held next year.

Liu Shaoqi
Liu Shaoqi was a Chinese revolutionary, statesman, and theorist. He was Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee from 1954 to 1959 and President of the People's Republic of China, China's head of state, from 1959 to 1968, during which he implemented policies of economic reconstruction in China.
For 15 years, Liu was the third most powerful man in China, behind only Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. Originally groomed as the successor to Chairman Mao, Liu antagonized Mao in the early 1960s before the Cultural Revolution and was criticized, then purged, by Mao starting in 1966. Liu disappeared from public life in 1968 and was labelled the commander of China's bourgeoisie headquarters, China's foremost 'capitalist-roader', and a traitor to the revolution.

What Is The Real Purpose of the Grand Memorial of Xi Zhongxun?
Follow us on TWITTER:
Like us on FACEBOOK:
Recently the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) held activities
across China to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of
Xi Zhongxun's birth.
The CCP major mouthpieces are competing to praise
Xi Zhongxun's sharp will and courage to reform.
Leftists and Rightists all gave speeches.
This grand memorial is somewhat unusual.
On October 15th, the CCP held a high-profile symposium
in the Great Hall to commemorate Xi Zhongxun, father of
CCP general secretary Xi Jinping.
More than 100 princelings attended the event.
These including descendants of Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi,
Deng Xiaoping, Li Xiannian, Yang Shangkun and others.
Even Gao Gang's window Li Lichun attended.
In CCTV's broadcast, Wen Jiabao and other so-called liberals
who advocate reform made appearances and gave speeches.
Political commentator Lan Shu: CCP's propaganda on
Xi Zhongxun is to strengthen the authority of Xi Jinping
inside the CCP.
This is to have some positive impact to mitigate the deepening
contradiction between the CCP and the Chinese people.
Formal Professor of History Liu Yinquan: Leftists or
Rightists, those who support reform or those who want to
go back to the Mao era, all want to take advantage of this
event to exert pressure on Xi Jinping.
Xi Zhongxun was one of the few open-minded
Senior CCP leaders.
He was brutally persecuted during
the Cultural Revolution for 16 years.
When he returned he talked boldly about
reform in Guangdong.
In the late 1980s, he was sympathetic
to Tiananmen Students Protest.
he was ignored by Deng Xiaoping for
Defending Hu Yaobang.
HK's Open magazine editor Jin Zhong: To praise Xi
Zhongxun at this time is to showcase Xi Jinping's power
as reasonable and legal.
Xi Zhongxun's experiences and Xi Jingping's experiences
of returning to the countryside in Sha'anxi Province during
the Cultural Revolution added some legendary flavor to Xi
Jinping.
When Xi Jinping came to power, his preaching about
locking power inside the cage and his hatred toward corruption
caused quite a lot of expectations from the outside world.
After the Southern Weekly incident earlier this year,
people began to lose hope.
In May, anti-constitutional propaganda took the stage.
Soon after, civic rights activists including Xu Zhiyong,
Guo Feixiong, Wang Ligong, etc. were arrested one by one.
Then Xi Jinping started the rectification movement
copying the Maoist theory and language, even including
criticism and self-criticism leading to provincial standing
committee members criticizing each other.
This series of escalating actions in suppression
made many people disappointed.
Liu Yinquan: Xi Zhongxun was persecuted by
Mao Zedong's leftist policy. This is a hard fact.
But unfortunately, after Xi Jinping came to power,
he still praises Mao Zedong.
Feng Chongyi and Yang Hengjun published an article
in Caixin, which read:
Today we commemorate Xi Zhongxun to remember his
defiance against strong power.
We recall his reflections and awakening in his later days
and speaking up for the suffering Chinese people.
We honor his 'humanity-oriented' and 'people-oriented' path,
and his serious reflection on the party and the country.

Chairman Mao's Purgatory - The Reality
Follow us on TWITTER:
Like us on FACEBOOK:
Du Bin, a New York Times' signed reporter,
published in Hong Kong a new book, called
Chairman Mao's Purgatory. .
This book is about the Great Leap Forward
and has 130,000 characters
and over 150 valuable pictures.
Du Bin said: 'Chairman Mao's purgatory' reflects
all those ridiculous and miserable years.
This book in the form of chronicle, records Mao's
speech within the party, agricultural officials'
private diaries, the behavior of local authorities,
letters from common people to the Central Party,
newly revealed secret documents, witnesses'
memories. The book recalls the dark age when
tens of millions of Chinese people starved to death,
with historical posters, farmer paintings, photos,
art drawings, newspaper and magazines' pictures,
serving the politics during the Great Leap Forward.
These fragments and details reflect those ridiculous
years and the dictator's outrage. According to
Zhang Rong's book Mao: The Unknown Story,
to make peasants work as slaves during 1950s'
Great Leap Forward, Mao Zedong assigned
numbers to them instead of calling their names.
Du Bin said: I find such a small detail surprising
and shocking. Mao erased people's names
which were their identities and
utilized them as tools and animals.
We can find in the book those ridiculous years
and black humor when we look back. Purgatory
cites China Pictorial's reports: Macheng County
in Hubei Province created a 'satellite' of producing
36,000 jin (18,000 kg) of grain per mu.
But actually children were standing on paddy rice
propped with hidden benches.
According to Liu Bowei's article, officials of people's
commune organized activities like man-made sun
and man-made wind among people to hasten the
growth of rice. Hundreds of people were standing
around experimental fields with mirrors in hands,
making the sunshine reflect into the field.
Purgatory cites Luo Pinghan's article: To launch
satellites, people applied fertilizers excessively and
watered the rice with dog meat soup and glucose.
Also according to Li Kai's article, a handicraft
commune even made steel with Chinese medicine,
which was believed to remove oxygen, sulfur
and to control carbon content.
The first half of the Great Leap Forward was just
craziness and humor, but the second half was
a tragedy. When hunger swept the whole country,
the communist ideal implanted by Mao collapsed
and at that moment people saw the red dragon
opening its bloody mouth.
Du Bin: I was sad when choosing the stories,
because people were so humble in the eyes
of communist party, as humble as a dog, hen, ant.
Some details I selected can truly reflect the fact
that the communist regime doesn't care
about people's lives at all.
In Purgatory, Du Bin cited a letter to Liu Shaoqi
from his fellow villagers which said: President Liu,
we are starving everyday and developing edemas.
But we couldn't talk about it, otherwise we'll have
no food, be labeled as anti-party and
against the three red banners and be sent to
forced labor camp. Once a person starves to death,
people could only say that he dies of disease.
Du Bin also cited a paragraph from Yang Jisheng's
book, Tombstone, There was over 1 billion jin of
grain in Xinyang City's warehouse and the total
storage is 4 billion jin, with 2.9 billion jin production
that year. But not even one famine victim
considered to steal food, knowing there's plenty
in the warehouse. Some peasants waited
outside the warehouse for the government
to distribute food and shouted:
'Communist party, Chairman Mao, help us!'
Some people died at the warehouse.
The tragedy of people eating each other swept
every village. Purgatory cites Liang Zhiyuan's
article, Sometimes a dead person was buried
but the body disappeared overnight. In some areas,
to protect dead bodies from being dug and eaten,
peasants watched their family members' graves
for several nights until the bodies started
to decompose and putrefy. Some people ate
dead bodies from other families and some ate
dead bodies from their own families; people ate
cooked or raw human flesh; some ate
dead bodies and some killed and ate live people.
Chinese Communist Party) 90th anniversary.
Other books about CCP's history are coming out
one by one in Beijing's bookstores and there is
even one for middle school students.
In these books, CCP tries to glorify its past and
writes lightly about the Cultural Revolution and
the Great Leap Forward, trying to remove
its dark side from history. But Purgatory fills
the blank of history and presents the real pains.

SUMMARY
=======
The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in China from 1966 until 1976. Launched by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China (CPC), its stated goal was to preserve CPC-style Communism by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society, and to re-impose Mao Zedong Thought (known outside China simply as Maoism) as the dominant ideology within the Party. The Revolution marked Mao's return to a position of power after the failures of his Great Leap Forward. The movement paralyzed China politically and negatively affected both the economy and society of the country to a significant degree.
The movement was launched in May 1966, after Mao alleged that bourgeois elements had infiltrated the government and society at large, aiming to restore capitalism. To eliminate his rivals within the Communist Party of China, Mao insisted that revisionists be removed through violent class struggle. China's youth responded to Mao's appeal by forming Red Guard groups around the country. The movement spread into the military, urban workers, and the Communist Party leadership itself. It resulted in widespread factional struggles in all walks of life. In the top leadership, it led to a mass purge of senior officials, most notably Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping. During the same period, Mao's personality cult grew to immense proportions.
In the violent struggles that ensued across the country, millions of people were persecuted and suffered a wide range of abuses including public humiliation, arbitrary imprisonment, torture, hard labor, sustained harassment, seizure of property and sometimes execution. A large segment of the population was forcibly displaced, most notably the transfer of urban youth to rural regions during the Down to the Countryside Movement. Historical relics and artifacts were destroyed and cultural and religious sites were ransacked.
Mao officially declared the Cultural Revolution to have ended in 1969, but its active phase lasted until the death of military leader and proposed Mao successor Lin Biao in 1971. After Mao's death and the arrest of the Gang of Four in 1976, reformers led by Deng Xiaoping gradually began to dismantle the Maoist policies associated with the Cultural Revolution. In 1981, the Party declared that the Cultural Revolution was responsible for the most severe setback and the heaviest losses suffered by the Party, the country, and the people since the founding of the People's Republic.

SUMMARY
=======
Mao Zedong (December 26, 1893 – September 9, 1976), also known as Chairman Mao, was a Chinese communist revolutionary who became the founding father of the People's Republic of China, which he ruled as the Chairman of the Communist Party of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. His theories, military strategies, and political policies are collectively known as Maoism.
Mao was the son of a wealthy farmer in Shaoshan, Hunan. He had a Chinese nationalist and anti-imperialist outlook early in his life, and was particularly influenced by the events of the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 and May Fourth Movement of 1919. He later adopted Marxism–Leninism while working at Peking University, and became a founding member of the Communist Party of China (CPC), leading the Autumn Harvest Uprising in 1927. During the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the CPC, Mao helped to found the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, led the Jiangxi Soviet's radical land policies, and ultimately became head of the CPC during the Long March. Although the CPC temporarily allied with the KMT under the United Front during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), China's civil war resumed after Japan's surrender and in 1949 Mao's forces defeated the Nationalist government, which withdrew to Taiwan.
On October 1, 1949, Mao proclaimed the foundation of the People's Republic of China (PRC), a single-party state controlled by the CPC. In the following years he solidified his control through land reforms and through a psychological victory in the Korean War, as well as through campaigns against landlords, people he termed counter-revolutionaries, and other perceived enemies of the state. In 1957 he launched a campaign known as the Great Leap Forward that aimed to rapidly transform China's economy from agrarian to industrial. This campaign led to the deadliest famine in history and the deaths of an estimated minimum of 45 million people between 1958 and 1962. In 1966, Mao initiated the Cultural Revolution, a program to remove counter-revolutionary elements in Chinese society which lasted 10 years and was marked by violent class struggle, widespread destruction of cultural artifacts, and an unprecedented elevation of Mao's cult of personality. The program is now officially regarded as a severe setback for the PRC. In 1972, Mao welcomed American President Richard Nixon in Beijing, signalling the start of a policy of opening China to the world. After years of ill health, Mao suffered a series of heart attacks in 1976 and died at the age of 82. He was succeeded as paramount leader by Premier Hua Guofeng, who was quickly sidelined and replaced by Deng Xiaoping.
A controversial figure, Mao is regarded as one of the most important and influential individuals in modern world history. He is also known as a political intellect, theorist, military strategist, poet, and visionary. Supporters credit him with driving imperialism out of China, modernising the nation and building it into a world power, promoting the status of women, improving education and health care, as well as increasing life expectancy as China's population grew from around 550 million to over 900 million under his leadership. Conversely, his regime has been called autocratic and totalitarian, and condemned for bringing about mass repression and destroying religious and cultural artifacts and sites. It was additionally responsible for vast numbers of deaths with estimates ranging from 30 to 70 million victims.

SUMMARY
=======
The Xinhai Revolution (Chinese: 辛亥革命; pinyin: Xīnhài Gémìng), also known as the Chinese Revolution or the Revolution of 1911, was a revolution that overthrew China's last imperial dynasty (the Qing dynasty) and established the Republic of China (ROC). The revolution was named Xinhai (Hsin-hai) because it occurred in 1911, the year of the Xinhai (辛亥; metal pig) stem-branch in the sexagenary cycle of the Chinese calendar.The revolution consisted of many revolts and uprisings. The turning point was the Wuchang uprising on 10 October 1911, which was the result of the mishandling of the Railway Protection Movement. The revolution ended with the abdication of the six-year-old Last Emperor, Puyi, on 12 February 1912, that marked the end of 2,000 years of imperial rule and the beginning of China's early republican era.
The revolution arose mainly in response to the decline of the Qing state, which had proven ineffective in its efforts to modernize China and confront foreign aggression. Many underground anti-Qing groups, with the support of Chinese revolutionaries in exile, tried to overthrow the Qing. The brief civil war that ensued was ended through a political compromise between Yuan Shikai, the late Qing military strongman, and Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Tongmenghui (United League). After the Qing court transferred power to the newly founded republic, a provisional coalition government was created along with the National Assembly. However, political power of the new national government in Beijing was soon thereafter monopolized by Yuan and led to decades of political division and warlordism, including several attempts at imperial restoration.
The Republic of China in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China on the mainland both consider themselves the legitimate successors to the Xinhai Revolution and honor the ideals of the revolution including nationalism, republicanism, modernization of China and national unity. 10 October is commemorated in Taiwan as Double Ten Day, the National Day of the ROC. In mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, the day is celebrated as the Anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution.
Zhao Ziyang
Zhao Ziyang was a high-ranking politician in China. He was the third Premier of the People's Republic of China from 1980 to 1987, Vice Chairman of the Communist Party of China from 1981 to 1982 and General Secretary of the Communist Party of China from 1987 to 1989.
As a senior government official, Zhao was critical of Maoist policies and instrumental in implementing free-market reforms, first in Sichuan, subsequently nationwide. He emerged on the national scene due to support from Deng Xiaoping after the Cultural Revolution. He also sought measures to streamline China's bureaucracy and fight corruption, issues that challenged the Party's legitimacy in the 1980s. Zhao Ziyang was also an advocate of the privatization of state-owned enterprises, the separation of the Party and the state, and general market economic reforms. Many of these views were shared by then-general secretary Hu Yaobang.

SUMMARY
=======
Deng Xiaoping (UK: ; US: ; 22 August 1904 – 19 February 1997), courtesy name Xixian, was a Chinese politician. He was the paramount leader of the People's Republic of China from 1978 until his retirement in 1989. After Chairman Mao Zedong's death in 1976, Deng led China through far-reaching market-economy reforms. While Deng never held office as the head of state, head of government or General Secretary (that is, the leader of the Communist Party), he nonetheless was responsible for economic reforms and an opening to the global economy. During his paramount leadership, his official state positions were Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from 1978–1983 and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China from 1983–1990, while his official party positions were Vice Chairman of the Communist Party of China from 1977–1982 and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China from 1981–1989.
Born into a peasant background in Guang'an, Sichuan province, Deng studied and worked in France in the 1920s, where he became a follower of Marxism–Leninism. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1923. Upon his return to China he joined the party organization in Shanghai, then was a political commissar for the Red Army in rural regions and by the late 1930s was considered a revolutionary veteran because he participated in the Long March. Following the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, Deng worked in Tibet and the southwest region to consolidate Communist control.
As the party's Secretary General in the 1950s, Deng presided over anti-rightist campaigns and became instrumental in China's economic reconstruction following the Great Leap Forward of 1957–1960. However, his economic policies caused him to fall out of favor with Mao, and he was purged twice during the Cultural Revolution. Following Mao's death in 1976, Deng outmanoeuvred the late chairman's chosen successor Hua Guofeng in December 1978. Inheriting a country beset with social conflict, disenchantment with the Communist Party and institutional disorder resulting from the chaotic policies of the Mao era, Deng became the paramount figure of the second generation of party leadership. Some called him the architect of a new brand of thinking that combined socialist ideology with pragmatic market economy whose slogan was socialism with Chinese characteristics. Deng opened China to foreign investment and the global market, policies that are credited with developing China into one of the fastest-growing economies in the world for several generations and raising the standard of living of hundreds of millions. Deng was also criticized for ordering the crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, but praised for his reaffirmation of the reform program in his Southern Tour of 1992 and the reversion of Hong Kong to Chinese control in 1997. He was the Time Person of the Year in 1978 and 1985, the second Chinese leader (after Chiang Kai-shek) and the sixth communist leader (after Joseph Stalin, picked twice, and Nikita Khrushchev, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and Ho Chi Minh) to be selected. He died in February 1997, aged 92.

Deng Xiaoping
Deng Xiaoping (Pinyin: Dèng Xiǎopíng, [tɤŋ˥˩ ɕjɑʊ˩ pʰiŋ˧˥] ( ); 22 August 1904 – 19 February 1997) was a Chinese politician and reformist leader of the People's Republic of China who, after Mao Zedong's death, led his country towards a market economy. While Deng never held office as the head of state, head of government or General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (de jure leader of the Communist Party of China), he nonetheless was the paramount leader of the People's Republic of China from 1978 to 1992. As the core of the second-generation leaders, Deng shared his power with several powerful older politicians commonly known as the Eight Elders.
Born into a peasant background in Guang'an, Sichuan, Deng studied and worked in France in the 1920s, where he was influenced by Marxism-Leninism. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1923. Upon his return to China he worked as a political commissar in rural regions and was considered a revolutionary veteran of the Long March. Following the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Deng worked in Tibet and other southwestern regions to consolidate Communist control.
