Important new book on the Cultural Revolution at Tsinghua
This winter, half a century will have passed since the occurrence of the first in a long sequence of events in China conventionally called the Cultural Revolution. We may soon expect a high tide of articles, op-eds, scholarship, books, workshops, TV specials, YouTubes, tweets, and whatnot. The first books have already appeared, among them a hefty 1,500-page tome on what took place at Tsinghua University in Beijing entitled 《历史拒绝遗忘——清华十年文革回忆反思集》edited by 孙怒涛. An anthology – its editor’s introduction is reprinted here: http://www.cccpress.com/gb/?action-viewnews-itemid-142 – with highly interesting contributions by ageing former students, teachers, and staff, it argues that “清华文革是中国文革的缩影，存留真史是我们最后的责任”. Its publisher is the China Cultural Communication Press in Hong Kong, a lean and mean outfit that boasts an impressive list ( http://www.cccpress.com/gb/?action-viewnews-itemid-142 ) of imprints on the ”ten years of turmoil.” Warmly recommended!
