Jiang Qing (1914–1991), Mao Zedong’s wife for 38 years and a leading figure in the Cultural Revolution, was purged after his death and officially blamed for much of its destruction. Drawing on renowned author Yu Ruxin’s new chronological biography, this talk challenges the official verdict and offers fresh insights into Mao’s thinking, his intentions for the Cultural Revolution, and how the political movement shaped modern China and continues to have major influences today.
This event is hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute.
