Support the rural population and serve 500 million peasants
Chinese Literature Magazine 1969
1969 was dominated by the preparation, holding and assessment of the 9th National Congress of the Communist Party of China – the first during the period of the Great Socialist Cultural Revolution – which was held in April.
This was a Congress of renovation and reiteration of the Socialist road along which the Communist Party of China, under the revolutionary leadership of Chairman Mao Tse-tung, sought to lead the workers and peasants of the country.
At the end of 1968 the Red Guards had ‘stormed the headquarters’ and the revisionists and ‘capitalist-roaders’ within the heart of the Party were exposed and purged. This included Liu Shao-chi and his second in command Teng Tsiao-ping and their fall from grace was covered in items published during 1969.
It was also in 1969 that there was a massive promotion of the Revolutionary Peking Operas and Ballets and images from these works of art were used to illustrate many of the covers of Chinese Literature that year.
