...Central Committee late in October. Its expulsion of Liu was the highest-level purge in more than two years of merciless harassment of officials. When Mao launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in 1966, Red Guards, recruited mainly from the closed-down schools and egged on by Madame Mao, Chiang Ching, succeeded in shaking the position of the entrenched party bosses. But the Guards got quickly out of hand. They began bloody battles with the more conservative workers and peasants and subdivided into factions to fight each other.

Hsiao Li, in her late 20s, gained prominence a year ago when she led a Red Guard "investigation team" at Peking University. In the acid-tongued tradition of her mother, Hsiao Li described her alma mater as a "stale pond in which many wang-pa* grow." She is now chief of the editorial committee of the Liberation Army Daily, and the regime has confirmed her importance by listing her among "leading comrades...
