On 30 September 1954 an article criticizing Yü P’ing-po’s “ Hung lou meng chien-lun” appeared in the Wen-yi pao. 10 days later an article highly critical of Yü’s Hung lou meng yen-chiu, a revised edition of that scholar’s earliest work on the novel, Hung lou meng pien appeared in the Kuang-ming jih-pao. With the publication of these two articles by Li Hsi-fan and Lan Ling, recent graduates of Shantung University, the first attack in over 30 years was launched on what Mao Tse-tung at the time termed “the erroneous views of a so-called authoritative writer in the field of study of the Dream of the Red Chamber.”
Some important documentation has been published in the Chinese press since the dismissal of Teng Hsiao-p'ing regarding the policies which he pursued during the preceding year.

The three publications on Chinese psychiatry that I was able to find, all of which are based largely upon the primary literature, terminate abruptly at the Cultural Revolution.

A group of American psychiatrists who had been hoping to participate in an exchange visit to China under the auspices of the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Psychiatric Association had not succeeded in making the necessary contacts, and were in fact unable to give me the names of any Chinese psychiatrists in responsible positions.
