One red princeling Hu Shiying posted a photo of a private gathering of China's red princelings, in which a infamous red guard Song Yaowu appeared.

The party was hosted by Xi Jinping, then CCP Party Boss in Zhejiang Province. Others appeared in this photo includes Bo Xicheng (son of Bo Yibo and brother of Bo Xilai), Liu Yuan (son of Liu Shaoqi), Wang Qishan (son in law of Yao Yilin), Yang Li (daughter of Yang Shangkun), Chen Yuan (son of Chen Yun) among others. Song Yaowu is the women 4th from left in the front. Xi Jinping is 3rd from right in the second row.

Song, together with another Red Guard Deng Rong (daughter of Deng Xiaoping), killed their teacher Bian Zhongyun, the first teacher to be killed by students in the Great Cultural Revolution. The incident opened an era when red guards across the country were mobilized to take over schools by violence. Many more teachers would be tortured and killed in the next few years.

One of those from whom Hu Jie got evidence was another teacher at the school, Lin Mang.In the film Lin states that the Red Guards beat Bian Zhongyun in a toilet room. He described one of the perpetrators as a tall, thin girl. Lin also stated in the film that Red Guards forced him to carry Bian's body after her murder.

Based upon subsequent additional credible evidence received,the tall, thin girl who Lin saw beating Bian was Liu Tingting, daughter of Liu Shaoqi, the president of China.

我们要指出的是，皮凯蒂对1945-1970年间，美国分配改善原因的分析并不全面。他完全忽略这一时期苏联社会主义阵营崛起，迫使西方资本不得不改善劳工福利的国际竞争压力。东欧国家在此期间创造的充分就业、全民医疗、和福利住房，虽然很大程度上来源于苏联廉价能源的供应而难以持续，但是冷战时期的苏东经济逼迫德、英、法、美等资本主义国家，大幅增加了工会在收入分配中的话语权和社会福利制度的建立。苏联瓦解之后，西方发达国家普遍削减工人已经得到的福利，1990年后全球不平等的竞争趋势急剧增加。

《纽约时报》评论的标题就指明皮凯蒂的矛头主要指向斯密，捎带了马克思，但是说不清斯密的问题在哪里。亚当.斯密是个真诚的空想资本主义者。他在《国富论》第一卷第一章观察到分工可以提高生产效率，又在第一卷第三章的标题上强调“分工受市场规模限制”。斯密显然意识到生态和人口对市场规模的制约，他也清楚殖民扩张和掠夺战争更能扩大市场规模。斯密只是在第四卷第二章的细节里，悄悄加上“看不见的手”的寓言，想象自利出发的自由贸易可以协调区域间的劳动分工，无需战争和政治的干预。斯密把《国富论》作为政治经济学理论的标题，却没有给出国富的定义。他在第一卷第五章内引用霍布斯的话，承认“财富就是权势(wealth is power)”，却又争辩说：光拥有财富不等于立即取得政治权力。善良的伦理学教授斯密，一面多次批评地主和资本家为富不仁，认为英国的殖民扩张得不偿失，一面企图用道德情操来缓和市场经济的社会矛盾。但是，皮凯蒂的历史分析清楚表明，斯密的空想资本主义在历史上并未实现，市场机制不能保证分工和谐和社会公平。

皮凯蒂的研究清楚指明亚当.斯密代表的空想资本主义理论的破灭。分工加贸易不见得能导致国富，因为发达国家控制的资本积累主导了财富的分配。工业化和殖民主义导致富国和穷国的贫富分化，并引发一系列的战争和革命。决定市场份额的不仅是贸易的比较优势，而且是武力的比较优势。民主和道德都不足以制约资本的贪得无厌。革命和战争导致西方富国的兴衰和产业中心的转移，没有一个富国能长久保持国际分工格局的霸权，私有产权界定的资本收入也周期性地蒸发和毁灭。所以资本也无法积累到无穷。
