channels in my Hong Kong hotel room when, through a blizzard of static,
up popped Beijing TV with an unscheduled programme. On screen, to my
amazement, sat a symphony orchestra. A conductor walked on, raised his
arms and struck up the opening of Beethoven’s fifth symphony. I checked
the calendar. It was the 150th anniversary of Beethoven’s death and the
regime had chosen that moment to announce the end of the Cultural
Revolution.
