The Complete Trajectory of the Cultural Revolution: "The Harsh 10 Years" What was behind "Quotations from Chairman Mao" and "To Rebel Is Justified"? Winner of the 3rd Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ ・By Mineo Nakajima, Kodansha ・First edition published May 10, 2002 ・Paperback, 15cm, 2.2cm thick, 504 pages ・With obi (book band) Red Guards holding up the "Quotations from Chairman Mao," government officials being paraded in triangular hats, the slogan "To Rebel Is Justified." For 10 years from the mid-60s, what was the essence of the "turmoil of hundreds of millions of people" that swept across China? From the emergence of the Red Guards to the attack on the power holders, "Criticize Lin, Criticize Confucius," and the condemnation of the Gang of Four. The author analyzes the power struggle by "the father of the revolution," Mao Zedong, with a clear and penetrating eye. Winner of the Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities. Those who shouted "To Rebel Is Justified" with the Quotations from Chairman Mao in hand were mainly students. Behind them was a power struggle centered on Mao Zedong. Who were those who shouted "Love is innocent" with mobile phones in hand? What was behind them? If we read the analogy of the Communist Party's politics when it turns from this book, we can say that today's China is at an extremely historical moment. What is missing is reporting from a calm perspective like this book. I felt the freshness of reporting without personal preferences.
