    From a little book i read this week:

    “Scarcely believable is this tale, which I, nevertheless, have on excellent authority.
    Red Guards found a Chinese intellectual who had been educated in the West;
    they charged him with being too fond of ballroom dancing. To punish him,
    they made him Dance on a ballroom floor for hours – with a corpse. “

    Encounters With Chinese Writers, 1984, Annie Dillard
