“Large scale fighting broke out between the two factions in the spring of 1967. In a desperate attempt to quell the fighting and defend itself against the rebels, certain divisions of the Wuhan Military Region began shelling factories and campuses. Thousands died in the clashes.

On July 20, Mao decided to go to Wuhan himself and to repeat his swim across the Yangtze. With Mao in tow, Zhou Enlai and the Minister of Public Security went to Wuhan to attempt to resolve the situation to the military and the broader public’s satisfaction. The mediation backfired, enraging elements of the military and the Million Heroes. Rioting broke out which forced Mao to cut his propaganda tour short before he could repeat his swim. He fled the city by plane in the middle of the night while agents of the Ministry of Public Security were kidnapped and beaten to a pulp by the Million Heroes, who were aided and abetted by a division of the Wuhan Military Region.”

The shelling of factories and universities. Mao’s attempted swim. His midnight flight to escape. Why is none of this included in the article? Alcmaeonid (talk) 05:34, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
