The Anti-Rightist Movement (simplified Chinese: 反右派运动 [= fan you pai yun dong]; traditional Chinese: 反右派運動 [= fan you pai yun dong]; pinyin: Fǎn Yòupài Yùndòng [in rom.]) in the People's Republic of China occurred in the 1950s and early 1960s, consisted of a series of campaigns to purge alleged "rightists" within the Communist Party of China (CPC) and abroad. The definition of "rightists" was not always consistent, sometimes including critics to the left of the government, but officially referred to those intellectuals who appeared to favour capitalism and class divisions and against collectivization. The campaigns were instigated by Chairman Mao Zedong and saw the political persecution of an estimated 550,000; first wave of attacks began immediately following the end of the Hundred Flowers movement in July 1957. By the end of the year, 300,000 people had been labeled as rightists, including the writer Ding Ling. Future premier Zhu Rongji, then working in the State Planning Commission, was purged in 1958; second part of the campaign followed the Lushan Conference of July 2 -- August 16, 1959)
