The self-criticism of Hinton reaches rather absurd lengths when he proceeds to examine the fairly numerous quotations from Liu which formed the epigraphs to the many chapters of his earlier work; in his latest pamphlet, Hinton discovers that the statements which he had considered re volutionary a bare three years ago are now either opportunistic statements, or statements which are 'revolutionary' in word, but counter-revolutionary in intent. They are the words of "a renegade skilled at waving a red flag to attack the red flag of Mao Tse-tung". One can only say that it is fortunate that the original work is still available to us, as it was written; and one can even overlook this outburst of ill-tempered zealousness, for after all, Hinton did give us "Fanshen".
