Many thanks for this engrossing and informative article!

Many thanks to Kingoflettuce for an engrossing article that illuminates how China worked at that time. I made some light edits, such as tightening and cutting words that didn't seem necessary. I added some links. I hope this is ok.

One question: is there any information about how Zeng was treated in the early 1950s after the communist takeover? It seems amazing that the King of Opium and a strong supporter of Chiang wasn't taken out and shot! Obviously things changed after 1978, but do your sources explain why his home was turned into a national monument. (By the way, how could the "local" government make it a "national" monument.)
