ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the matter of the doctoring of photos and texts, a familiar practice of Communist demonology in Russia where millions of bodies lie in gulag graves. From Shanghai, the author wrote Mao Tun in Peking, since as honorary chairman of the Writers Association he was formally our host-in-chief, as well as nominal editor of the journal in which the doctored picture appeared. When Yang Chien, a leading figure in the League, was murdered by Kuomintang assassins on a Settlement street one day in June 1933, many of these individuals, including Lin Yu-tang, shrank away, understandably afraid of the consequences of daring to persist. It was vandalized again by Red Guard hoodlums when they were turned loose by Mao Tse-tung and Mrs. Mao in 1966. It was US Commissioner Jacob Krisel, whose post was equivalent to that of magistrate in the extraterritorial American Court for China, who officiated.
