Chinese high school students from the eastern province of Jiangxi dressed as the mass-murdering Red Guards of Communist Party founder Mao Zedong to perform a “Red Loyalty Dance” during a parade.
a sordid history stretching back to Mao’s bloody Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. The dance is literally an act of religious worship for the spirit of Mao and all Chinese citizens were required to learn and perform it, including very young children.
According to RFA, some Shangrao city officials were uncomfortable with celebrating this particular chapter of Chinese Communist Party history. None of the participants or organizers of the parade were willing to answer RFA’s questions about the spectacle, Shangrao schools denied being involved with it, and a string of municipal employees mumbled that they had no idea who granted permission for the Red Loyalty Dance.
An official who answered the phone at the Xinzhou district education and sports bureau said they didn’t know which schools had taken part in the event, adding that some of the schools in the district are administered by the city education bureau.
