The synopsis

Yang Xianzhen (July 24, 1896 – August 25, 1992) was a Chinese Communist Party politician who served as the tenth president of the Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party, the highest training center for party workers and leaders. Yang held this position from 1955 to 1961. He became embroiled in the 'One Divides into Two' controversy in 1964 when his philosophical concept of 'Two Unite into One' was interpreted as supporting capitalist restoration. Yang died in Beijing in 1992.
