Li Guangchang

  • ... that sect leader Li Guangchang ruled as self-proclaimed emperor for five years in the 1980s before being arrested by the Chinese police? (Source: Smith, S.A. (2015). "Redemptive Religious Societies and the Communist State, 1949 to the 1980s". In Jeremy Brown; Matthew D. Johnson (eds.). Maoism at the Grassroots: Everyday Life in China's Era of High Socialism, p. 358)

  • Really interesting & curious... Article is long and new enough, well-referenced (remarkable for this obscure topic), tone is sharp and neutral. Great job, Applodion. AGF on the Yu & Shenghua work (can only find snippets online). P.S. Would be great if you could include the dude's name in Chinese characters (I'd be impressed if there wasn't a zh.wiki entry on him!) Kingoflettuce (talk) 14:32, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Went ahead and found the stuff myself, hope you don't mind! Cheers, Kingoflettuce (talk) 14:58, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
@Kingoflettuce: Thank you very much for adding the Chinese names. The QPQ is also done now. Applodion (talk) 21:07, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
