官僚特權一直是中國的基本問題 普通人各有各的平凡，而天下的特權階層都是相似的：靠爸靠母、靠出身。 你以為這些三天兩頭撞爛超跑的王子、公主只是天生命好， 殊不知他們是承繼先人權力的特權血脈。 1912年末代皇帝溥儀宣布退位後，中國不再有皇帝，然而卻有另一個新興貴族階層依附著中國共產黨壯大起來，直至今日仍居要位。 要了解這個權貴階層是怎麼形成的？為什麼到了今天還盤據在中國經濟、政治的山巔？我們要回頭看看國共內戰時期。肅清共產黨的措施和戰時的紛亂，讓許多共產黨員為保護子女安危，將他們送至蘇聯或託付給親戚、朋友。 這批離開父母、受盡磨難的孩子們，便是赤色王朝的第一代接班人。他們是延續權力的血脈，也是未來太子黨的雛形。後來，黨日趨重視這些革命要員與先烈的後人，這些紅二代、三代享有教育、事業上的優勢，如此一來當他們的父母凋萎，其手握的要權便有了移轉的對象。 這些承繼前代權勢的太子黨成員，挾優於一般老百姓的教育環境、經濟條件、政治威權，逐漸發展成新中國的新貴族階層。他們擔任各機關要員、血脈遍布政商界，是煽動文化大革命的重要推力，也是長期殘酷政爭角鬥場上的熟面孔，發展至今，甚至出現了一批習慣坐擁財富的人，以炫富的形象為世人周知。 在傳統帝制終結的現在，中國儼然有另一套父母之業子女承的世襲系統，有另一種以黨為中心的「帝制」在延續著掌權家族的命脈。無論是太子黨、官二代、富二代，甚至是皇二代，他們的高低優劣皆需看出身、看政治血統、看前一代人掌握了多少權力，而正是這些赤色王朝成員，統馭現今的中國。 ※...

Forty years after his death, Mao remains a totemic, if divisive, figure in contemporary China.
