Fact Checking on Fu Ping's Controversial "Red Guard" Photo
To be fair, however, I have to say Fu was not wrong in the following quote:
A photograph supplied to media by Fu shows her posing with a little red book, Mao badge and armband. Michel Bonnin of Tsinghua University and Prof Yin Hongbiao of Beijing University said it showed she was not disgraced as a “black element” at the time, as she claimed; Fu said it was common for children to be pictured pledging allegiance to Mao, “whether ‘black’ or ‘red’”.
As a child of “Capitalist Roader” parents, I wore a Mao badge and held the “little red book” during the Cultural Revolution. Every kid I knew did that, regardless of their family background.
In another photo that caused outrage, Fu and other students wear armbands before a Red Guard flag. I don’t know when that photo was taken, but if Fu was born in 1958, she could only be 8 to 10 from 1966 to 1968, when the violent Red Guard movement was ongoing, and she herself would be too young to be one of them. If the photo was taken after she entered middle school, then it wouldn’t be earlier than 1969, which was the year middle schools resumed classes. By that time, the Red Guard factions involved in the earlier years of the CR no longer existed, and their members either had gone to the countryside, were in factories or had joined the army.
So the question is: when was the photo taken?
