Chengan Chen

Fallen Elites Chengan Chen

From 1966 to 1976, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution personally initiated by Chairman Mao Zedong had swept across the entire mainland China. The book introduces how Tsinghua University carried out the Cultural Revolution in 1966-1968. It truly recorded the major historical events that took place on the Tsinghua campus. The ex-fighters of the two factions in Tsinghua - the Laotuan and the Laosi - personally recalled the real state of affairs of that time. This is the only book to date that records the whole process of the armed conflict at Tsinghua University in Beijing, the most renowned tertiary institution in the country.
