Question

A popular card game inspired by the social position of these people involves three players bidding for this role, followed by the successful player facing a team (15[1])of the other two. (15[1])A museum in Dayi County, Sichuan (15[1])was dedicated to Liú Wéncǎi (“when”-TSAI), an archetypal example of these people in lots of propaganda. Along with “bad elements,” right-wingers, counterrevolutionaries, and rich peasants, these people round out the “Five Black Categories.” The Hunan Report includes the quip that “Revolution is not a dinner party” to support violence against this (15[1])(*) economic class. In a movement known by the abbreviation “Tǔgǎi” that began during the 1930s, millions of these people were killed and their holdings expropriated. For 10 points, Maoist China repeatedly purged what people who collect rents? ■END■
