I came across some news that the authority of Zhejiang University conferred some titles(Ph.D mentor and professor) on the former communist party boss and incumbent chairman of people's city council of Hangzhou. The laureate became a university student as representative of workers, peasants and soldiers recommended by co-workers and approved by communist party committee without any admission test during the period of proletarian cultural revolution. Later on he attended communist party cadre school. Of course his titles were ratified by national ministry of education and reflected in the China-specific socialism.

Some like Philip Pan narrates "Out of Mao's Shadow: The Struggle for the Soul of a New China" in his book, in my opinion, scrutinizing ((Nine Commentaries on Communist Party)) can be free from Mao's toxic brain-washing effects. Unfortunately even Mao copied Chiang Kai-shek
