In early 1968, an 18-year-old high school student in Hunan province composed a short essay that made him famous across China-and led to his imprisonment for the next ten years. His name was Yang Xiguang, and what gave rise to his notoriety was his proclamation that the major conflict in China was not between Mao's supporters and enemies, nor between China's proletariat and the former wealthy, but rather between a red capitalist class, akin in many respects to Djilas' new class, and the masses of the Chinese people
