The Beginning and End of an Emperor: A Counterrepresentation of the State
Abstract
The Chinese Peasant Gazette' of June 6, 1982 reported the arrest in Hunan of a man with a peculiar destiny: He was to be the next emperor of China. His claim was not unique in that other emperors have appeared from time to time in both the mainland of China and Taiwan.2 However, this emperor was perhaps unusual in the extent to which he was able to gather and keep a following before coming to the attention of the authorities. Even more striking was that this story occurred not in an economic backwater of Hunan Province, but in its heartland-the area south of Lake Dongting and the area embraced by the rivers Zi and Xiang. The sphere of his activities, in fact, circumscribes the very area that figured so prominently in Mao's 1927 Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan, a document that transformed revolutionary practice in China. Indeed, the main scene of these more recent events lies not more than 100 kilometers from the birthplace of Mao Zedong. We may well ask, how did this man's imperial pretensions acquire such a

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
