Francis Markus: China’s Gang of Four member dies

From BBC:

China has announced the death of one of the members of the Gang of Four who led the Cultural Revolution that convulsed the country in the 1960s and 1970s.

Zhang Chunqiao died of cancer last month at the age of 88.

Zhang and three others, including Jiang Qing, the third wife of Communist Party founder Mao Zedong, were imprisoned for their roles in the turmoil.
