A List of Cadres to Be Protected was a roster of prominent individuals compiled by Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in 1966 to ensure their safety during the Cultural Revolution. The list received approval from Chairman Mao Zedong.[1]

Background

On the night of 29 August 1966, the New Peking University Red Guards ransacked Zhang Shizhao's residence in Beijing. Early in the morning on 30 August, Zhang wrote a letter to Mao Zedong. Mao issued a directive: "Forward this to the Premier for appropriate action; he should be protected." Zhou Enlai severely criticised those involved, ordered the immediate return of all confiscated books, and assigned personnel to safeguard Zhang Shizhao's home. Additionally, Zhou began drafting the list of the cadres to be protected at that time.[2] On 1 September, Zhou further instructed the 301 Hospital to prepare for the admission and protection of Zhang Shizhao, Cheng Qian, Fu Zuoyi, Cai Tingkai, Li Zongren, and others.[2]

List of protected people

The list of individuals designated for protection included: Soong Ching-ling, Guo Moruo, Zhang Shizhao, Cheng Qian, He Xiangning, Fu Zuoyi, Zhang Zhizhong, Shao Lizi, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai, Sha Qianli, and Zhang Xiruo. In addition, positions specified for protection were:
