...past nine months, as Red China writhed in the grasp of Mao Tse-tung's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, Hong Kong has been the chief watching point for the outside world...
...propagandistic Longing for Home that became the signature tune for the regular Red broadcasts beamed at Taiwan. He was at peace with the Red regime until last June, when he and some 500 other cultural leaders were caught in the net of "thought reform," as part of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.
