anti-Communist. Thousands of high-level bureaucrats, university pro-
fessors, scientists and intellectuals were arrested, humiliated after un-

Even Liu Shaoqi, one of Mao's closest friends and a former chair-
man of the People's Republic of China, was arrested on Mao's orders,
publicly beaten, subjected to long torture and thrown into a cell where
he received no medical attention and died in agony. Deng Xiaoping was
one of Mao's oldest comrades, among those who were going to take over

Beijing University, was interrogated by the Red Guards. During the
process, he was sodomized, beaten to a pulp, and later thrown out the
window of the interrogation chamber. Although he survived, his back
was broken and he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair with an im-
paired hearing.
A witness describes the inhuman torture inflicted on a university
professor during the Cultural Revolution:
On the athletic field and farther inside, before a new four-story classroom
building, I saw rows of teachers, about 40 or 50 in all, with black ink
poured over their heads and faces so that they were now in reality a "black
gang." Hanging on their necks were placards with words such as "reac-
tionary academic authority so-and-so," "corrupt ringleader so-and-so,"
"class enemy so-and-so," "capitalist roader so-and-so": all epithets taken
from the newspapers. On each placard was a
red cross, making the teachers look like con-
demned prisoners awaiting execution. They all
wore dunce caps painted with similar epithets
and carried dirty brooms, shoes, and dusters on
their backs.
Hanging from their necks were pails filled with
rocks. I saw the principal: the pail around his
neck was so heavy that the wire had cut deep

The Cultural Revolution was a murderous frenzy de-
signed to destroy every idea and every person opposed
to Communist ideology. The propaganda poster on the
right depicts this feast of bloodshed: anti-Communists
being crushed by the fists of Red Communists.
