The Madam Mao of Fan Jing

Fan Jing was also married to Madam Mao's old flame, Yu Siwe. This would ensure that Fan Jin would be humiliated before the public. Regardless of their personal matters, Madam Mao personified the violence of the cultural revolution. On top of her mission of revenge, she laid a blanket ban on just about every kind of artistic expression that existed before the Communist revolution. She wanted a blank canvas. What an honor. What a responsibility. I wrote the eight model operas to glorify Mao Zedong, the People's Liberation Army, and the Communist struggle for revolution. Yes. Whoever he said to bite, I bit.
