Cultural Revolution reminders from Chinese bloggersPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, August 9, 2006 2:50 PM
Translated from yesterday's post on Wang Xiaofeng's blog:
Wang has posted an audio file of the August 1966 radio announcement about the start of the Cultural Revolution together with the words above, you can listen to it from his blog post: Today. You can see the same announcement on the front page of the People's Daily on Bingfeng's blog, Aug 8, 1966: 《The decision about the Cultural Revolution》issued by CCP. There are more Cultural Revolution images at Ttcen.com. Morning Sun (blocked in China) is a superb resource of Cultural Revolution texts, photos, audio and video materials about the ten years of chaos. |

Comments on Cultural Revolution reminders from Chinese bloggers
Listening to the recording yesterday, I was struck by two things:
(1) There's lots of detail on the responsibilities of most of society, but the army gets just one sentence.
(2) Broadcasting pronunciation has changed over the past decades. The announcer's accent is definitely different from today's CCTV and radio anchors. I think I like his sound better, actually.
