Want a glimpse of a footnote to PRC history?
The historian who writes the blog Jottings from the Granite Studio offers this footnote:Come back Hua Guofeng, all is forgiven
"I've been fascinated with the career of Hua Guofeng, who was paramount leader of China for about 18 minutes in the mid-1970s, since I began studying Chinese history. I would stare at my professors' notes on the board:
"1949-1976 Mao Zedong
"1978-present Deng Xiaoping.
"'Wait,' I thought, 'What about 1976-1978?'..."
And if that raises the question of "Where is Hua now?"
Check out the photo of Hua Guofeng at the Party Congress last week.
Hua Guofeng Spotted!
The old man was sleepy.
