The Sufan movement was a purge of perceived opponents in the People's Republic of China between 1955 and 1957.[1][2][3] The term "sufan" is short for sùqīng àncáng de fǎngémìng fèn zǐ (simplified Chinese: 肃清暗藏的反革命分子; traditional Chinese: 肅清暗藏的反革命分子), which means "purge to eradicate hidden counterrevolutionaries";[4] similar campaigns had been carried out within the Chinese Communist Party as early as 1932.[5] Mao directed that 5 percent of counter-revolutionaries were to be eliminated.[6][7] During the purge, around 214,000 people were arrested and approximately 53,000 died.[8][9]
