By Dennis blood North Singapore. Special owns the harsh Days of denial during the cultural revolution when a heroine of the Long March and wife of a chinese marshal could be pilloried As a Bourgeois reactionary by the red guards for keeping chrysanthemums in two ornamental pots Are part of the Long past in peking today. China is loosening tin liberalizing life itself from Prim proletarian Monotony. Revolution is no longer interpreted As a popular urge to eat dishes with the same flavor Wear clothes with the same style dress the hair in the same Man there should be a greater variety of things to eat. Rules the official press simple and ele Gant new style clothes Good looking hair styles. Buttoned up Mao jackets May be the rage in new York but chinese officials going abroad Are be ginning to take to City suits. Like an old lag narrowing his eyes in the Sharp sunlight As the Gates close on his last Pris on sentence the wary chinese finds himself once More facing the temptations of limited free Dom that could trap him into earning his next. The peril is particularly acute for the intellectual. He is no longer safely confined to i memorizing the thoughts of Mao. If he takes a calculated risk he can read classics like the hilarious and irreverent chinese Pilgrim s Progress that Arthur Waley translated for the West As Monkey or dream of the red chamber the great 18th-Century sociological novel whose controversial marxist interpretation provoked a major purge in 1955, or the first new chinese translation for nearly 80 years of Thomas Huxley s evolution and ethics. The establishment itself is calling not Only for readable works that will popularize his tory and science but for popu Lar editions of the communist operas so ferociously edited by the implacable Madame Mao in the sixties. The Are still weapons of communist propaganda culture As conceived by Mao who believes in using the pen in attack the gun for the stage must still reflect the party platform and Madame Mao s Model plays must still be taken As shining examples by All. Nevertheless new false horizons Beckon. On the eve of the 30th anniversary of the chairman s historic pronouncements in Yean on revolutionary Art and literature theatrical companies have been encouraged not Only to adapt these Model operas to the local popular Art form but to be daring enough to produce new plays drawing if necessary on ancient chinese and even foreign literature. It is officially reported that they staged a total of 100 experimental works of creative Art during the Supeh arts festival in March alone. But How far can they go the official press and radio has at the same time bitterly attacked those class enemies in the provinces who have sabotaged and maliciously distorted Madame Mao s approved operas by slipping in Feudal heroes disguised As modern revolutionaries and by introducing Bourgeois twists u the plot sentimental love scenes Dubi Ous ditties and other odious counter revolutionary gimmicks with the misguided of Mak ing the show entertaining. He whom the Snake has once bitten avoids the tall the chinese say and there was something almost sinister to mistrustful minds about the stress Laid last month in provincial China on the need to let a Hundred Flowers Blos som and a Hundred schools of thought contend As they had at the Supeh festival. Mao first used this old Chi Nese saying in May 1956, when he introduced a new policy of intellectual Freedom in China in order As he said disarmingly to enable All people in the Aca Demic world to exert their strength to the full Manifest their creative and positive role to Pool their thoughts and learn from each other through the Media of free discussion in order to accelerate the building of Mao warned that All polemics must be contained within the philosophical Frame work of marxism but added that if other ideas crept into the debate we Are of the opinion that this is of no he was confident that communist logic must prevail. He was not ready therefore for the accelerating Avalanche of angry dissent that roared Down upon the chinese communist party from those who had taken him at his word and started to say and write what they thought. His reaction was not Long delayed. Within 4 months China had been put through a rectification Campaign and an anti rightist the state Council had introduced new legislation relat ing to labor custody and the indiscreet among the intelligentsia of China found themselves fulfilling a variety of unaccustomed tasks from washing out University lava tories in peking to hauling Timber in Remote Reform Camps in the provinces. Once bitten the canny Chi Nese tried to avoid the tall grass bul. He was moving through rough political terrain. In the Early the labor Camps claimed Many More candidates for ideological reconditioning and the cultural Revo Lution Sash millions publicly humiliated thrown out of their jobs and sent Down to the country to expiate their Bourgeois or revisionist sins. It has been said that the god of China Only one that Mao recognizes when he shocks the world by uttering this three letter word in mixed company is a deity with 800 million chinese souls and the present leadership i n peking which must now placate it is finding that far too Many of them Are cagey and distrustful. I teachers hounded from their classrooms during the cultural revolution but urgently needed today again to educate the Young and civil servants tossed out of their offices but urgently needed today again to administer the provinces have in Many cases shied away from returning to posts that had proved politically dangerous and made them vulnerable to vicious attacks. And now writers and artists who saw almost everything that had been set in print before 1966 reviled condemned and reduced to ashes Are also saying according to Honan radio that cultural activity is dangerous difficult and May Lead to mis this cautious attitude is de scribed As poisonous and a deliberate trick of the Bourgeois proletarian intellectuals must never stand still just for fear of making mis but chinese who Are exhorted to write popular Scien t i f i c works remember what rheumatism team target St. Johns fld. Up two St. John s doctors have taken the team approach to treating rheumatoid diseases with the assistance of memo rial University. Or. Oliver j. Vaughan Jack son a surgeon and or. John r. Martin a physician work together in a Rheuma ology relatively recent and innovative Means of dealing with rheumatoid diseases. Before they came to Newfoundland last August rheumatoid diseases which in clude a variety of joint and muscle ailments were treated much the same Way As other diseases. From a general practitioner a rheumatoid patient could be referred to an intern who would recommend an operation by an orthopaedic sur Geon. The province lacked a special St in Rheuma ology. The medical school at Mem orial University Here tried to Deal with the situation in a Way which would also satisfy its own burgeoning require ments. First they recruited or. Martin from the Montreal general Hospital to teach Rheuma ology and assist in treatment of rheumatoid Dis eases. At the same time the medi Cal school was looking for an experienced person to teach and organize orthopaedic serv ices. In december 1970, or. Vaughan Jackson senior orthopaedic surgeon at the Lon Don Hospital in London eng land was Here assisting his wife on business matters. He accepted an offer to work at the University and treat rheumatoid diseases with . Or. Martin is enthusiastic about the team approach. The most valuable part of this clinic is that we re under the same roof and have close working he says. We can always run into each other s office to see a patient and have a Quick we think we re leaders in this a p p r o a c adds or. Vaughan Martin. Not every one has come this or. that the difficulty with rheumatoid arthritis is that there is no cure. They can do much for a govt. News tents but they need to be regularly observed during and after treatment so the work Load increases without a loss of patients. Or. Vaughan Jackson s big Gest problem is convincing people that he in t a Miracle worker. Patients expect to be cured from their ailment after undergoing the Rigours of an he says. Yet the most a surgeon can offer is a Good Chance that the condition can be controlled. Some ple May need operations every few years and this can be pretty patients come to the clinic from across the province and or. Vaughan Jackson already has a one year waiting list for operations. He is training an other surgeon to help him but is pessimistic about meeting the demand. We just can t do All the necessary he says adding that he is encouraged by his preliminary work in trying to organize orthopaedic services. Other doctors agree with him that such a step is essential to provide a base for Good teaching in the future. Or. Vaughan Jackson is Eli Gible to retire in years and is anxious to return to England. He is confident that orthopaedic services will be at an even higher level when he leaves but he wants to make sure that there Are enough doctors to carry on the team approach. Both he and or. Martin say this approach is essential for making any further breakthroughs in the treatment of rheumatoid diseases. Happened in the 1960 s to those w h o hinted that technology might be As important As the thought of Mao. They see themselves accused in their turn one Day of taking a slavish attitude towards the foreign philosophies of a mechanized West and in some cases they have stopped read ing technical works altogether just to be on the Safe Side with the maoists. Similarly the Man who is asked to write popular history remembers hapless colleagues who were damned As revisionists for dishing up a series of so called history books lauding emperors kinds and novelists remember other Nove lists who were axed for their reactionary novels disseminating the Bourgeois style of living and dramatists re member Wuhan who used the past to satirize the present in a play about an Imperial Man Darin dismissed from office by an unjust emperor. This piece was taken to be a personal at tack on Mao and the author earned the distinction of being the first victim of the cultural revolution.
