This isn't unusual at all here in Northwest China. Hui Muslims tend to be surprisingly pro-CPC, with many elderly aunties and uncles being nostalgic for the Mao era as a time when Han chauvinism against national minorities was actively combated in society.

I usually thoroughly enjoy this account, but reducing the Cultural Revolution to simply the Destroy the Four Olds Campaign of Aug 1966-May 1967 (and even worse, reducing the 4 Olds Campaign to simply the wanton destruction of antiquities and artifacts) is seriously disappointing.

Today, May 16 in 1966: China issued the "May 16 Notice", starting a ten-year long Cultural Revolution, to eliminate the “4 Olds” (Old Customs / Culture / Habits / Ideas)破四旧. Numorous religious & cultural items destroyed. Heartbreaking! Never repeat again!

It's payday, so I treated myself. The Mao Zedong badge is of unknown origin. The Little Red Book is a rare compendium of the complete Quotations, the "Five Golden Rays", and Mao's poems (1969, Xi'an Xinhua Press). Very good find and rather inexpensive!

The Cultural Revolution was an incredibly complex series of movements and events that can't be summed up as a completely positive or completely negative thing IDC if that makes me a "Stalinist hack" to anti-Maoists or a "eclectic rightist" to fellow Maoists

In anticom narratives of the CR, most of the deaths are blamed on a) the Red Guards blindly rampaging or b) Mao ordering the deaths of personal enemies. The truth is most CR fatalies were from a) Liu-Deng work teams (early 66) or b) PLA units killing the RGs (late 68-early 69)

"During the Cultural Revolution, Mao and the CCP abolished higher education and killed all the professors!" While classes were suspended 1966-1970, by 1972 classes were resuming... provided you were a worker, peasant, or soldier! Middle class students had to wait until 1977...

It is with great sadness that I must inform you guys that Comrade Qing Qing, fluffy mascot of the GPCR Podcast, the greatest living thinker, has ceased to think. He will lay in state at the Great Hall of the People, followed by a memorial rally at Tiananmen.

While reading about the worst factional fighting in the first half of 1968, it reminded me a Mao quote from the Quotations: "It is not hard for one to do a bit of good. What IS hard is to do good all one's life and never do anything bad, to act consistently in the interests of

Broke: The GPCR lasted from 1966-1976 (standard historiography) Broke: The GPCR lasted 1966-1969 (minority opinion) Broke: The GPCR lasted 1966-1967 (Badiou's hypothesis) GALAXY BRAIN: The GPCR lasted 1911 to 1976 (the "Long Chinese Revolution" historiography)

Antiques market haul from Chengdu: 3 Sichuan badges (ca. 1968), a Japanese (!) Little Red Book from 1967, and a People's Militia armband. Also saw some Farsi and Thai editions of the Selected Works of Mao, but seller wouldn't budge on the price (400RMB). Still, good finds today!

A tale as old as time: the historical record showing that the loyalist/"royalist" Red Guards always were the worst culprits of excessively destroying cultural relics and attacking intellectuals during the 1966-1967 period, not the Maoist/"rebel" Red Guards...

...during the GPCR. Yes, Ep. 4 with Uncle Zhang was great, but Uncle was a Little Red Guard, not a full-fledged Red Guard. Now we MIGHT get to hear the story of 2 Red Guards telling the story of what it was like to be part of the university RG movement in Xi'an and Weinan (2)
