Notes

* Both the thesis and the material for this article are drawn from a collaborative research project now in progress, funded by the Luce Foundation, titled “China after the Cultural Revolution: Reassessments in Literature, Thought, and Politics.” I am indebted to the Luce fellows from China as well as to the foundation for information and support.

2 Liu Zaifu, “Wusi wenxue qimeng jingshen de shiluo yu huigui” (The loss and recovery of the enlightenment spirit of May Fourth literature), in Lin Yii-sheng et al., Wusi: duoyuan de fansi (May Fourth: pluralistic reflections) Hong Kong: Joint Publishing Co., 1989, pp. 92–122.

3 See Liu Zaifu, Wenxue de fansi (Self-reflection on literature). Beijing: Renmin wenxue chubanshe, 1986. See also his Xinge zuhe lun (On the multiple composition of literary characters). Shanghai: Shanghai wenyi chubanshe, 1986. Liu’s works have not received much attention in the West.

4 The case of the Zhuozhou conference is being reopened by the current party leadership. An article in the People’s Daily (Feb. 24, 1990) reaffirms the ideological correctness of the conference and denounces Zhao Ziyang for his alleged collusion with some Hong Kong journals in leaking the conference materials to Hong Kong for “besmearing.” See the Hong Kong journal Jiushi niandai (The nineties, March 1990), p. 36.

5 Gan Yang, “Ziyou de linian: Wusi chuantong zhi queshi mian” (The idea of freedom: the deficiency of the May Fourth tradition), in Lin Yü-sheng et al., op.cit.

6 Liu Zaifu, “Chinese Literature in the Past Ten Years: Spirit and Direction." Chinese Literature (Autumn 1989), p. 155.

7 My account of the two journals as well as of the Dule Bookshop is drawn entirely from Zha Jianying, “Notes on the Emergence of a Counter-Public in China,” unpublished paper prepared for the Center for Psychosocial Studies, Chicago (January 1990), and used with the author’s permission.

10 1 am indebted to Geremie Barmé of Australian National University and to Chinese friends for the information on He Xin. Barmé has also translated He’s letter to Deng Xiaoping into English.
