The Killing Wind, on China’s Cultural Revolution 作者Tan Hecheng訪談


Tan Hecheng’s The Killing Wind: A Chinese County’s Descent into Madness during the Cultural Revolution has just been published by Oxford University Press.
This interview, part of Ian Johnson’s continuing NYR Daily series, “Talking About China,” was supported by a travel grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting


(文革期,1967年秋)寡婦橋,地方黨部下令屠殺9000人;其他鄉村類似,可能共殺150萬人民。


Ian Johnson interviews Tan Hecheng about his meticulous book, released in English this week, in which he lays out in devastating detail one of the darkest, and least known episodes in Communist Chinese history.

Tan Hecheng: I'd kept asking one question: Had any one of the 9,000 people killed in the region been planning a counterrevolutionary event? The answer: No.
