Qingming Tomb Sweep: This year, Beijing authorities opened Jiang Qing’s grave and blocked Zhao Ziyang’s grave on Qingming Day. This sign from the grave seems to reflect the likes and dislikes of Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and the general direction he wants to take for China’s transformation in the future.
Cai Xia, a former professor at the Party School of the Communist Party of China, tweeted today, April 5, that her friend on the mainland posted that Zhao Ziyang’s tomb is closed to worship, while Jiang Qing’s tomb is open to the public. It is clear who the Chinese Communist authorities fear and who they promote.
The day before, Chinese writer Gao Valin tweeted that it was the morning of April 4 in China at the moment. I received a post – Qingming today. Strange thing in the capital: many people pay tribute to Jiang Qing, but officials let it go; when they go to Zhao Ziyang’s tomb, they set up heavy barriers and forbid anyone to come near.
Cai Xia forwarded an unnamed post saying: Today, I went to Changping Tianshou Cemetery to pay respect to the graves of my family’s predecessors, and visited Ziyang’s tomb, but I didn’t expect that the original stone steps from the round altar upwards were now blocked by greenery, and the lower side was blocked with a barrier, so there was no way to go up. When I tried to go around the side, I was intercepted by police and plainclothes officers from afar.
A netizen named “Yu Xin Shoshin” said: …the words of the Cultural Revolution are: pro or con, class division. Mr. Xi learned it very well, Jiang Qing and Mao’s left were his friends, while Ziyang and the political reform were his enemies.
A netizen named Hill said: Because Xi wanted to start the Cultural Revolution, he let the 50 Maoists honor Jiang Qing. Xi Zedong is determined to drive backwards, so he opposes such reformists as Zhao Ziyang, not to mention allowing people to commemorate Zhao Ziyang and Hu Yaobang.
According to Wikipedia, Jiang Qing (March 5, 1914 – May 14, 1991), whose real name was Li Yunhe, was the fourth wife of Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong (Mao was his third husband). After Mao’s death on September 9, 1976, she and the other three members of the Gang of Four, Zhang Chunqiao, Wang Hongwen and Yao Wenyuan, were arrested. She was arrested with the other three members of the Gang of Four, Zhang Chunqiao, Wang Hongwen and Yao Wenyuan, and was tried in 1981 and sentenced to a suspended death sentence, which was later reduced to life imprisonment, and died on May 14, 1991 while on medical parole.
Zhao Ziyang (October 17, 1919 – January 17, 2005) was one of the major leaders of the second generation of the Chinese Communist Party. He served as Premier of the Chinese State Council and General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee in the 1980s, and was one of the main drivers of China’s reform and opening up. He was considered the main leader of the reformist faction of the Chinese Communist Party after he presided over the reform of China’s political system in the late 1980s and quelled the left-leaning movement against bourgeois liberalization.
