Tao Zhu
Upon learning that Red Guards were approaching the [[Forbidden City]], Premier [[Zhou Enlai]] ordered the gates shut and deployed the [[People's Liberation Army]] against the Red Guards. After this incident, Zhou attempted to create a more peaceful [[code of conduct]] for the Red Guards, with the support of cadres [[Tao Zhu]], Li Fuchuan, and [[Chen Yi (communist)|Chen Yi]]. This plan was foiled by the ultra-leftists [[Kang Sheng]], [[Jiang Qing]], and [[Zhang Chunqiao]]. Although many of Zhou's other initiatives to stem the destruction failed because of their or Mao's own opposition, he did succeed in preventing Beijing from being renamed "[[The East Is Red (song)|East Is Red]] City" and the [[Chinese guardian lions]] in front of [[Tian'anmen Square]] from being replaced with statues of Mao.
