:Deng was rehabilitated in 1974. He delivered Zhou Enlai's eulogy in January 1976, apparently the party's rising star. He was purged again in February and Hua Guofeng became premier. Hua had no faction of his own, no prominent supporters in party. His claim to fame was that he supervised the Mao museum in Shaoshan. Mao know the Hua government couldn't last. He didn't care happened after he died. He was just trying to keep the peace between the Deng and Jiang Qing factions for a few months. He died in October.

Hua was an unknown. His claim to fame, such as it was, was that he supervised the Mao museum in Shaoshan. It was a credential that allowed him to avoid being purged in the Cultural Revolution. Mao knew the Hua government couldn't last. He didn't care happened after he died. He was just trying to keep the peace between the Deng and Jiang Qing factions for a few months. Mao died in October 1976. Deng displaced Hua as top leader in December 1978. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 09:39, October 26, 2021 (EDT)
