ABSTRACT
By selectively framing social memory in the same historical period, political memory continues and strengthens identity, or eliminates and assimilates heterogeneity, thus establishing and ensuring political legitimacy. “Pernicious-Vestiges” discourse, as a case of legitimacy profiles in the historical narrative of New China, constructs a part of the political memory that continues from the past to the present. How does political memory show the selected information content? Focusing on this issue, this chapter will be divided into four sections to introduce the memory political strategy of “Pernicious-Vestiges” discourse: forgetting/remembering, injustice/justice, destruction/establishment, and anthropophagic/anthropoemic.
