Abstract
FOR more than twenty years, Chou Yang was chief guardian of Mao's literary policy. Next to Mao, he determined who was to write and what was to be written. In a series of relentless campaigns, he ruthlessly purged the ranks of China's most creative writers. Then suddenly in the summer of 1966, Chou Yang himself became the public target of the “great proletarian cultural revolution.”Keywords
