Zhang Zhixin, formerly romanized Chang Chih-hsin, (December 5, 1930 - April 4, 1975) was a dissident during the Cultural Revolution who became famous for criticizing the idolization of Mao Zedong and the ultra-left.〔R. Randle Edwards, ''Human Rights in Contemporary China'', 193 pp. 1986, 1988: Columbia Univ. Press. (ISBN 0231061811)〕 She was imprisoned for six years (1969 to 1975) and tortured, then executed, for having opposing views while being a member of the Communist Party of China.〔Ladany, László. ''The Communist Party of China and Marxism, 1921-1985: A Self Portrait.'' 1988: Stanford University, Hoover Institution Press. (ISBN 0817986219)〕 A second party member who had expressed agreement with Zhang was sentenced to 18 years in prison.〔 Although many consider her a heroine among the people for standing up to the party,〔Zheng, Yi. ''Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China.'' 1997: Westview Press. (ISBN 0813326168)〕 her experience is also a reminder of the potential punishment for deviating from party principles. She did not consider herself anti-communist, but rather a "true Marxist" for whom Mao had distorted the communist cause. Even in prison, she insisted she was a member of the Communist Party of China. Many of her points of view were similar to those of the Communist leaders who succeeded Mao. For this reason, she was rehabilitated by Hu Yaobang and recognized as a revolutionary martyr, a model communist. ==Early life== Zhang Zhixin was born in Tianjin in 1930. She was educated in Renmin University of China from 1951 to 1952 and later worked in this university. Zhang later became a member of the Communist Party Propaganda Department at Liaoning province.〔〔 :Zhang expressed her view: : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zhang Zhixin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
