On offer is a super, original, late 1960s manuscript relic of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution and the cruel manipulation of the people as the politics of the times changed to the socialist agenda of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. This document attests to the forced recanting of many former managers as evidenced by this document being a 38 page manuscript confession handwritten by a director of a local bureau during the revolution. This bureau or cadre manager, like many others in China, were called upon, forcefully much of the time, to expose and confess their so called crimes of anti-socialist revolution activity in the bureau they had worked in. This was unfortunately all too common during the Revolution and sometimes the results were fatal. This 19cm x 26cm 38 page document is comprised of papers held by paper clip with some small rusting to the clip and one page has a tape repair to the back. Overall G.

The most important, yet naturally unstated, reason for the revolution was the return of Mao Zedong to a position of political power, after he lost most of his political influence after his failed Great leap forward."; Chinese Language; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF, GREAT PROLETARIAN CULTURAL REVOLUTION, CULTURAL REVOLUTION, CONFESSIONS, RECENT, ANTI SOCIALIST ACTIVITIES, ANTI CAPITALISM, MAO ZEDONG, MAO TSE TUNG, GREAT LEAP FORWARD, MAOIST, SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, COMMUNIST, CHINE, CHINESE, SINO, POLITICS, JIANG QING, GRASSROOTS SOCIALISM, PROPAGANDA, POST FIVE YEAR PLAN, 5 YEAR PLAN, GANG OF 4, GANG OF FOUR, LIN BIAO, BEIJING, PENG, LUO, LU AND YANG, ZHONGFA 267, INDOCTRINATION, RED CHINA, CHAIRMAN MAO, MARXISM-LENINISM, MAOISM, LIN YURONG, HANDWRITTEN, MANUSCRIPT, AMERICANA, DOCUMENT, LETTER, AUTOGRAPH, DIARY, JOURNAL, LOG, KEEPSAKE, WRITER, HAND WRITTEN, DOCUMENTS, SIGNED, LETTERS, MANUSCRIPTS, HISTORICAL, HOLOGRAPH, WRITERS, DIARIES, JOURNALS, LOGS, AUTOGRAPHS, PERSONAL, MEMOIR, MEMORIAL, PERSONAL HISTORY, antiquité, contrat, vélin, document, manuscrit, papier Antike, Brief, Pergament, Dokument, Manuskript, Papier oggetto d'antiquariato, atto, velina, documento, manoscritto, carta antigüedad, hecho, vitela, documento, manuscrito, Liu ShaoQi Show more
