The Central Cultural Revolution Group (CCRG) was set up in May 1965 to steer the Cultural Revolution in China. Dominated by the Gang of Four, this body was instrumental in implementing Mao Zedong's agenda. Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, once powerful figures, found themselves sidelined due to the CCRG's influence. Mao issued a 'Notification' in May 1966, defining who he saw as the enemy within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Think of the CCRG like the "cool kids' table" in the cafeteria that gets to decide the school's culture. If they're the jocks and cheerleaders, then Mao is the ultimate team captain.
It's like if you're trying to be elected class president and you get all your besties into the student council first. Then, you use that influence to run your campaign.
Imagine a team captain sending out a team memo, saying, "Hey, some of you aren't playing by our rules and are actually helping the other team. We need to weed them out."
