Joseph Torigian(@JosephTorigian):Tomorrow, May 16, is the 60th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution. In my two books, I wrote about how its legacy shaped elite politics after Mao's death and the entire Xi family. Today I'm re-upping my recent piece on new findings about the origins of the Cultural Revolution.
