The gathering soon ignited into violence, and hundreds of demonstrators were beaten and jailed. In the wake of the event, Mao had personally purged Teng, whom he blamed for the pro-Chou demonstration. Soon thereafter, Hua claims, the aging Chairman endorsed him as his successor...

Third, the group is revolutionary. Although they despise cities, they feel a moral obligation to stay in the urban centers and fight what they construe to be the enemy.
