Chapter 66 postscript

The first edition of this book was written in four months under the urging of the publishing house, which also included drilling the library and conducting interviews.When "handing in the paper" in a hurry, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed. As a big topic like this book, it should have at least 400,000 to 500,000 words. It is a pity that the most distinctive political essays, essays, and essays in the "Cultural Revolution" were only briefly mentioned due to insufficient materials.In particular, the content of this book is mostly concentrated in the capital, and the materials in other provinces and cities are limited, so it can be said that everything is missing.Handing in the paper with such meager results now is really a bit ashamed.It is hoped that it can serve as a catalyst for the ten-year study of "Cultural Revolution" literature.

When the author interviewed the parties involved in the past, he generally avoided asking questions—the "Cultural Revolution" is still a very sensitive topic.Even the person who provided the material was ordered not to be named, including the name of the person mentioned, please ask the author to be hands-free in the book.As a last resort, sometimes I have to change my name. For the works included in the book, the author tried to avoid drawing too many conclusions, and only made necessary comments and reminders.Because in the process of writing, I deeply feel that specific historical issues are really difficult to discuss.Part of it is also out of respect for the person who provided the material.In short, the proportion of materials in this book is relatively large, and the theoretical induction and summary are not developed enough. I think that as long as the materials are there, there will be a fair and clear evaluation in a few years.Of course, the author is solely responsible for any omissions and errors in this book.

This book cites a lot of materials published after the "Cultural Revolution" and other people's writings.The names, bibliographies and articles of these authors are listed at the end of the book for further reference. During the writing of this book, I have received the care and help of many friends, especially some comrades who have never met before, and I am grateful to them for their warm reception.They are Zhang Shuwen, Li Jiaping, Li Xiaolong, Guo Xiaolin, Yang Guixiang, Guo Chiying, Lin Zheng, Xu Xiao, Zhang Yang, Xing Qi, Zhu Zongqiang, Dong Landi, Yang Jun and other comrades.

Comrade Yang Changzheng once provided poetry materials for this book.Teacher Yao Mang and Comrade Guo Chiying have read the entire manuscript and put forward many valuable opinions.I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to them. When writing this book, the author tried to strengthen its informativeness.It is hoped that this book will not only enable readers to understand the general situation of underground literature during the "Cultural Revolution" in the past 10 years, but also become a collection of information and reference books for theoretical workers, with high use value.

There are many deficiencies and errors in this book. Readers and experts are invited to correct them and provide valuable opinions so that they can be corrected and supplemented when the book is republished. In October 1992, at Hufang Bridge, Beijing, to take Jinglou
