William Shakespeare während der Kulturrevolution.
Li Ruru : During the Cultural revolution Shakespeare's plays were branded as 'feudal, capitalist and revisionist works' and were not performed or studied.
The Cultural revolution destroyed Sun Dayu's haven, as thirty Red guards occupied his home and took away all his books, research materials and personal possessions. His son-in-law had removed all the manuscripts of his Sheakespeare translations before the arrival of the Red guards, and these papers survived to be published in 1988.
Shen Fan : The Chinese stage was completely dominated by the modern revolutionary plays known as the 'Eight model plays', and literary scholarship concerning Western writers, including Shakespeare, was forbidden. Shakespearen scholars, like all other intellectuals in China, were sent to reeducated either in the countryside or the factories, and Shakespeare was occsionally mentioned only in political newspaper articles as representative of bourgeois writer.
