At this rally Map launched the WEN HUA DA GEMING, there was no turning back, 1966-1976. . They were formed under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1966 in order to help party chairman Mao Zedong combat "revisionist" authorities i.e., those party leaders Mao considered as being insufficiently revolutionary.
