 The Mass Line: Chapter 37 - Chinese Revisionism and the Mass Line   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Liu Shaoqi was a high-ranking member of a Party which was led by Mao Zedong and which enthusiastically adopted and proclaimed Mao's mass line.
For Liu, the important point was that the party member should devote himself selflessly to the cause of the people; the purity of that devotion was the best safeguard of his ability to act correctly on their behalf.
In light of all the evidence that Liu Shaoqi never correctly understood the mass line and opposed it to the extent he did understand it, it is interesting to see the new revisionist rulers in China laud his "great contributions" and "faithfulness" to the mass line.

Their personal relationships, close association with Liu Shaoqi, their pre-1966 ideological differences and policy disputes with Mao, and their disagreements with the Maoists about Wu Han's play were related to their loss of executive positions and political power to Mao's faction in the summer of 1966.
Liu Shaoqi agreed with Mao that the nature of contradictions between proletariat and bourgeoisie had become "non-antagonistic" but held that the appropriate way of handling them was through unity, not criticism "from the outside." Mao had to exercise the authority of his chairmanship to get his way.
The purge of Liu Shaoqi in late 1966, after all, was preceded by the fall from power of his protege Peng Zhen, who was accused of harboring the "Three-Family Village" and Liu Ren and building "an independent kingdom" in resisting the cultural revolution.

Too sick to resist, Liu was denied medical treatment for his condition and was finally left to die naked and alone on a concrete floor in a locked and uninsulated outbuilding near Kaifeng.
What I've always found fascinating about Liu is the big counter-historical "what if?" In 1962, Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping began experimenting with many of the same policies that would characterize the first phase of the Reform Era (1978-1984).
But it's not impossible to suggest that Liu and Deng were simply ahead of their times in 1963 and their main mistake was to underestimate the depths of Mao's commitment to permanent revolution.

 Stefan Landsberger's Chinese Propaganda Poster Pages--Liu Shaoqi
Until the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), Liu Shaoqi was considered to be the successor to Mao Zedong.
After completing the Long March (1934-1935), Liu was active both in Yan'an and in the so-called white areas (territory neither occupied by the Japanese, nor governed by the Guomindang or the CCP).
In October 1968, Liu was officially denounced as "a renegade, traitor and scab hiding in the Party, a lackey of imperialism, modern revisionism and the Guomindang reactionaries", formally stripped all his positions and permanently expelled from the Party.
