Talk:Jiang Qing

message: There is a lot of revealing information on Jiang Qing and the Gang of Four and Mao's death in The Private Life of Chairman Mao: The Memoirs of Mao's Personal Physician, a memoir by Dr. Li Zhisui published 1994.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.228.216 (talk) 14:35, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: There are accurate accounts suggesting Mao did have an arranged marriage when he was still working as a farmer. The marriage did not formally take place, but is considered as one that had. Colipon+(T) 23:02, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Note that the entry under Jiang Qing states that she committed suicide, but the entry under Gang of Four says that she "supposedly" committed suicide. Given the nature of the Chinese government I think it unlikely we have good information about her death, but shouldn't the two have similar language? Suggest something along the lines of "according to the government, she committed suicide", rather than getting into the implications behind "supposedly" or the presumed factuality of "she committed suicide". 70.107.171.204 (talk) 11:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

message: So what was her real original name? Lǐ Shūméng? Lĭ Jìnhái? Lĭ Yúnhè?  
The narrative of this in the Early Years part is completely confusing. 208.87.248.162 (talk) 00:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no "real name". Jiang Qing's situation is very complicated. The closest thing she has to a "real name" is Jiang Qing itself. Read the section on "names" and you will probably get a better idea. Colipon+(Talk) 00:05, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Real Name??

message: The section on the death of Mao could really use some citations, as it makes a number of declarations about her suspicious behavior there. It's possible this is accurate, but it sounds suspiciously like after-the-fact maligning of Jiang Qing by Maoist editors. 162.84.185.225 (talk) 19:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The first four paragraphs of this section closely parallel mentions of Jiang Ching in the description of Mao's death in The Private Life of Chairman Mao by Li Zhisui.  Someday I may add the relevant citations, but it's a pretty low priority for me at the moment.--Wikimedes (talk) 01:16, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Death of Mao

message: Is it ever stated why Jiang was able to attend school while most girls her age were not? Until about 1920s, you did not send your daughter to school if you lived in China (the schools were all occupied by young boys and later men in high schools and universities). She was born in 1914. Thanks in advance. 75.5.5.83 (talk) 23:20, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The "Names" section even states, "Many females in that time period did not receive formal education or given names". I am assuming her parents were wealthy and open-minded enough to support it. 75.5.5.83 (talk) 23:21, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

message: It is quite strange that the Japanese translation of the cemetery is used in this article instead of its original Chinese name (Futian), even though it seems the cemetery has nothing to do with Japan.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nzlittlesheep (talk • contribs) 15:00, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Opera 

message: The text offers this assessment of her political career during the last decade of Mao's life and the height of the Cultural Revolution: "Although a prominent member of the Central Cultural Revolution Group and a major player in Chinese politics from 1966 to 1976, she essentially remained on the sidelines.[1]" Mind explaining how it is possible for someone at the same time to be a "major player" and "remain on the sidelines"? Since "sidelines" is a sports metaphor, imagine the problem here in these terms, a dialogue between A and B. A asks B: so was C a major player in last night's game (analogous to the political scene in China from 1966-1976). A: Yes, but (equivalent to the "although" in the article-????) he essentially stayed on the sidelines.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.48.228.89 (talk) 05:56, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

message: A large number of sections and information stated in this wiki is unreferenced. I have added tags to that effect. Can someone please provide (reliable) sources for them? Else it reads more like a potboiler plot (albeit an interesting one) rather than a serious wiki of a person who was extremely influential in China's recent past. Thanks a lot.
