Wang Dongxing
In 1966, the Cultural Revolution was launched by Mao Zedong. Luo Qingchang was denounced by Red Guards as a capitalist roader and suffered political persecution in 1966 and 1967, but he soon returned to power thanks to his friendship with Zhou Enlai and Wang Dongxing. Luo Yuan also suffered persecution, by being sent to Yunnan Province as a soldier-farmer. In 1978, Luo Yuan secured a transfer back to Beijing.
