However, it did not mean that the “socialist transformation” of private industrialists and businessmen finished. They were still labeled as “capitalists”, who had been forced to accept continued ideological remolding. During this process the status of “capitalist” was taken as one kind of political tool by the authorities. By defining the identity again and again, the transformation objects were in unsafe condition. In order to complete the transformation task, the businessmen were involved in frequent activities of political learning. But, learning was always performed as on kind of ritual process, in which political confession was more important than inner identity for the government and the coerced legitimate identity was established. This pragmatic political culture not only reflected an internal contradiction of different kinds of policies, but also was closely related to the later constant political instability.

As an artistic form, cartoon was closely related to varied revolutionary trends in politics. Cartoon presented diversified features between “artistic character” and “political character” all the time before the founding of PRC. The cartoon movement in the Resisting U.S and Aiding North Korea Campaign experienced a kind of artistic “popularization” and further politicalization. During the process of educating populace, the cartoon began to drift apart from its “artistic character” and turn to be a sort of ideological propaganda and educational tool which reflected its “political character” mainly. Thus a polarized mode of thinking, “not us then enemy” or “not enemy then us”, was constructed. This sort of extremely revolutionary mode of thinking had farreaching influence on the populace.

It was conducted by forces both from above and below. The one from above consisted of radicals led by Jiang Qing and “writing groups” affiliated with various work units. The one from below was made up of rebel mass organizations whose core members were some intellectual people. The first writing group appeared in Shanghai. After the Cultural Revolution began, writing groups mushroomed across the country. This was how a campaign to criticize a film worked: first, some people at the top would decide what topics to write; second, key articles were written by a designated writing group; third, accompanying articles were produced by the media. Close cooperation between media and writing group was therefore necessary. By the means of publishing newspapers and books, rebel organizations were often quite “imaginative” in their ways of criticizing movies. In contrast to rebel organizations’ often “blown up” approaches, those writing groups paid attention to data and evidence. What they did was to reshape facts and reinterpret a given historical event in accordance with radicals’ points of view. Related Articles | Metrics
