Mao Zedong's political and cultural legacy remains potent even in today's China. There have been many books that have explored his posthumous legacy, but none that has scrutinized the cult of Mao and the massive worship that was fostered around him at the height of his powers during the Cultural Revolution. This riveting book is the first to do so. By analyzing previously secret archival documents, obscure objects, and political pamphlets, Daniel Leese traces the tumultuous history of the cult within the Communist Party and at the grassroots level. The Party leadership's original intention was to develop a prominent brand symbol, which would compete with the nationalists' elevation of Chiang Kai-shek. They did not, however, anticipate that Mao would use this symbolic power to mobilize Chinese youth to rebel against party bureaucracy itself. The result was anarchy, and when the army was called in, it relied on mandatory rituals of worship, such as daily reading of the Little Red Book or performances of 'the loyalty dance', to restore order. Such fascinating detail sheds light not only on the personality cult of Mao, but also on hero-worship in other traditions.
理论的阐述实在没有水平理解,但说到红宝书,忠字舞,“早请示晚汇报”这些还是多少有些感性认识的。个人崇拜,用现在的话来说就是建立一个“人设”,而领袖的人设牢固与否则同外部资讯的冲击产生直接对抗,从这一点借古喻今,很能理解我们现在活在怎样一个时代之下了。

评分有意思的是细节,特别是提到周公的事必躬亲,接见红卫兵怎么让老大不那么累,先是用卡车装人经过广场,又考虑到怕见到老大的时候红卫兵一边倒导致翻车,最后商量让老大坐车巡游,红卫兵两边受阅的方式,历史丰富起来。如果说特别的思想,似乎也没有太特出的
评分为了自己原来感兴趣的问题看了这本书,不过并没有找到特别多想要的资料内容。作者对于档案运用还是很扎实的,现实关怀也很值得肯定。至于所谓的“卡里斯玛”,就算头????都可以具备,只要方式得当。
评分精彩,可以与李振盛《红色新闻兵》对照。里斯的观察精细而克制,没有大肆渲染荒诞,真是好史家,文笔也好,特别注意前后衔接。这些疯事都要上溯至1957年毛的第二次访苏,几乎是万恶之源。港中大中文版,译笔精良。
