The new issue of RtR PRC History Group features Liu Chang's and my translation of Liu Yajuan’s "The 'Zhang Shunyou Incident': A Typical Case for the 'Practice of Cultivating Models'." Read here for a fascinating study of how PRC propaganda models were (re-)made: prchistory.org/liu-yajuan-the…

Liu Yajuan’s article narrates the life of a worker who, in the early 1950s, was celebrated as a model to emulate (典型). Reading between the lines of official narratives, the article revisits overlooked sources to inspect the individual and the collective in political campaigns.
