Today, this week, and this month, "I'm scared of Rongfen..." tops the charts. I deem it not inappropriate to reprint the subject matter of that suddenly popular post:
Dear Chairman Mao Zedong:
I ask you to consider, as a Communist Party member, what are you doing?
I ask you in the name of the Party to consider: What is the significance of all that is happening now?
I ask you in the name of the Chinese people to consider: Where is it that you are leading China?
The Cultural Revolution is not a mass movement; it is one person using a gun to move the masses. I earnestly declare: I hereby withdraw my membership from the Chinese Communist Youth Corps.
Sincerely yours,
Wang Rongfen, fourth year student of German at Beijing Foreign Languages Institute
September 24, 1966
