How the Red Sun Rose

(

)

... that How the Red Sun Rose rewrote scholarly understanding of the Yan'an Rectification Movement and showed that authors who accepted the Party line narrative were deceived? Source: "In sharp contrast to the Party line that describes the movement as a salubrious thought-reform process, to which much of the earlier Western scholarship subscribed, Gao reminds readers that the relatively liberal Yan’an Spring was short-lived—less than two months long [...] How the Red Sun Rose renders obsolete much of the earlier scholarship on Yan’an and Mao. [...] Contemporary observers, such as Edgar Snow, and scholars who accepted Mao’s two-line struggle narrative were sold a bill of goods." https://read.dukeupress.edu/journal-of-asian-studies/article/78/4/898/320270
