Page "Jiang Qing" Paragraph 31

Jiang's rivalry with, and personal dislike of, Zhou Enlai led Jiang to hurt Zhou where he was most vulnerable.

In 1968 Jiang had Zhou's adopted son ( Sun Yang ) and daughter ( Sun Weishi ) tortured and murdered by Maoist Red Guards.

Sun Yang was murdered in the basement of Renmin University.

After Sun Weishi died following seven months of torture in a secret prison ( at Jiang's direction ), Jiang made sure that Sun's body was cremated and disposed of so that no autopsy could be performed, and so that Sun's family could not have her ashes.

In 1968 Jiang forced Zhou to sign an arrest warrant for his own brother .< ref > Zhang Langlang.

In 1975, Jiang initiated a campaign named " Criticizing Song Jiang, Evaluating the Water Margin ", which encouraged the use of Zhou as an example of a political loser.

After Zhou Enlai died in 1976, Jiang initiated the " Five Nos " campaign in order to discourage and prohibit any public mourning for Zhou .< ref > Teiwes, Frederick C. & Sun, Warren.
