Edgar Snow, an American journalist , the author of Red Star over China, remains the closest of relationship with the country and its leaders. He could not go to live in USA after 1949 because he was forbidden to travel to China by USA, then he had to choose to live in Switzerland. He died in 1972, according to his will, he was buried in Beijing.
Most civilians had no idea what was going on. Hua Guofeng and Ye Jianying were able to purge Jiang Qing and the Gang of Four because they had the support of the army. For Deng Xiaoping and others, it was too normal to use the army to suppress "riots", which happened frequently during the Cultural Revolution. So when students gathered in Tiananmen Square in 1989, they felt that the "Red Guards" were causing trouble again, so they should continue to use the army to suppress them.
Hope somebody recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese. I teach Chinese in humorous way and with cute pictures. Chinese characters still retain their pictographic origins. Knowing what the characters look like originally can help remember them. I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.
I was an American economics prof in China for 12 years. I was so glad that SOB had long died. When I was in China ( 1999-2012) China was more relaxed compared to when Mao was there or to now, with Xi Jinping in power. But Mao was the worse in causing starvation, etc.
Builder of modern China, got all the racists colonial nasty trash out of the country. Contributing to today's China he was a great man in most Chinese eyes, you need to educate your self more with insights.
America has no soul. Using Bikini as a testing ground, Invading countries because the policy doesn't match. C'mon Brian you are smarter than this ? or are you a product of uncle sam?

Extraordinary man, USA never seems to appreciate their best, still going o. Now
Still going on now
Wonderful records. It reminds me of my teenage years in Shanghai back then.
1973.... See the Chinese riding bike on a wide street..... Few vehicles, but set up for forward hope of advancement in frog leap...... Amazing!
Foresight!
you had to think very hard before you said anything, students criticizing their teacher resulting in serious consequence... hmmm sounds familiar
It is scary huh!?
The Gang of Four had very little popular support. Chou En-lai and Chairman Mao had massive popular support.

Americans at that time looked very sunny and full of righteousness.
Sounds like Evergreen State...

They were there, they shaped the opinion of American people about those facts... and 40 years later they still don't understand a thing.
Forty seven years ago.... A fete of one people, one nation different from western cultures....

There's more to the picture than meets the eye (Neil Young).
Some people may even label anarchists as being ultra leftist or "radical". They are making a big mistake.
Chiang Ching was NOT a radical and Chou En-lai was NOT a moderate.
以史为鉴。
God bless America and may she soar above the soulless.
America has no soul.

China would have been better off with Chiang Kai Shek. They lost a good 30 to 40 years.
John Connor maybe ,but i guess you dont really know china
Naive, period.
Chiang Kai Shek ws a corrupt SOB. During ww2 against the Japanese invasion, he was fighting against Mao instead of the Japanese.
beezibee China would be better off if Sun Yet-sen didn't die early!
