“The dazibao ( large – character – poster) was guaranteed as a basic form of free speech in the 1949 Constitution that established the People’s Republic of China, at the insistence of Mao Zedong. It rose to prominence during the Cultural Revolution and again, in the late 1970s, after the deaths of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai (the heyday of Democracy Wall) until banned by Deng Xiaoping, in 1979.”
These dazibao are Joyce-oriented. Simon hosts the early-Saturday-morning radio program “As I Please” on WBAI.
