Abstract
The context, ideology, and personality of four Chinese Commuist leftists (Mao Tse-tung, Chiang Ch'ing, Chang Ch'ung-ch'iao, and Yao Wen-yuan) are analyzed in depth. Three contextual factors that gave rise to the leftists are: alienation of Mao from the Communist Party, anxiety of a group of middle-level propagandists about the post-Mao era, and disaffection of the public. The ideology of the leftists warns about the danger of bourgeois restoration and calls upon China to return to the spirit of the revolutionary time before 1949. The personality pattern of Mao, Chiang, Chang, and Yao is analyzed and the radicalism of each is seen as a combination of personal need and social molding.
