Unfortunately, much of this post relied on Weiss' Wikipedia article, which was clearly written by a representative of the CPC. No comment on that. I will note, however, that she is by far the "last European eyewitness to the the birth of the PRC in 1949." There are still some former residents that are still alive -- but most were not Communist sympathizers like Ruth Weiss.
