Favourite member of the Gang of Four?

[Minstrel Boy]

A confession: I was a teenage Maoist. I was a subscriber to The Peking Review in the mid-70s. Started when I was 14. I thought the Gang of Four rocked. Things were never the same after Hua took the helm, and that capitalist roader Deng Xiao Ping got his claws in.

No, I'm no longer a Maoist. Who the hell is? I leave totalitarian moralities to the neocons now. But if I had to be an odd kid - and I did - I could have chosen worse.


Translation: "We must certainly wage the great struggle of exposing and criticizing the Gang of Four to the end." As if!
