They fulfilled that dream, despite China's power struggle, during their current honeymoon trip around the world. They spent Jan. 12-15 in Canton. Here is their story, written for The Associated Press while they were in Tokyo. \|By MICHAEL and JOAN HOLT TOKYO (AP)--Thirteen Red Guards crowded into a_ four- room flat with a family of 11.

Pressed for an ex- planation, the answer was that 'too many people were taking ithe trains.' With this exercise jin Communist logic, we re- luctantly paid $120 for a four- day tour of Canton and Kwang Tung province. DRAW ATTENTION The next morning we boarded the Kowloon - Canton Railway and left British soil. The border formalities were time-consum- ing but only cursory. Attention was paid to. our cameras, tape recorders, film. During a Chi- nese meal at the border, we were subjected to a propaganda! skit by waiters and waitresses. Inspired, supposedly, by Chairman Mao's thought for the day, we set off for Canton on a 1930-vintage train. The: passing vista of moun- tains, rivers, fields, made us re- flect on the timeless nature of this still carry the same water buck- ets they have carried for thou- sands of years.

They were friendly and gave us a tremendous burst of gapplause as our bus departed. Many Chinese assume any foreign visitor allowed into their country must automatically be a "friend of China." This assumption was of tur for a few of our group of tour- ists, but the majority were anti- Communist tourists from Com- monwealth nations.

The confusing and dangerous upheaval is traced by Chinese in the West to June, 1959, and the publication of an essay called Hai Jui's Scolding of the Emperor, made into a play two years later with the title of Hai Jui's Dismissal. When the essay and play appeared, says Dr. C. Y. Cheng, head of the University of Mich- igan department of Chinese studies, every Chinese intellec- tual and many non-intellectuals immediately recognized the symbolism. Hai Jui, in the Chinese mind, stands for righteousness and justice. In this case, he stood for Peng Teh-huai, whom Mao dismissed as defence minister because Peng opposed the Great | Leap Forward launched in March, 1958. The "'leap" was supposed to transform China within three years into a mighty economic power--by regimenting the half- billion peasants in 'people's communes" and by putting ur- ban workers into millions of backyard smelters. The "leap" was headed for debacle even in its early stages. WRITTEN BY OFFICIAL The author of the essay and play was Wu Han, deputy mayor of Peking and right-hand man to the powerful mayor and politburo member, Peng Chen, considered then an outstanding contender for Mao's mantle. The work was a_ protest against Mao. Even as far back as 1958. the big struggle had begun. Mao's position had been considerably weakened late that year by opposition to his pol, icies. His opponents included his old comrade-in-arms, long an heir apparent, Liu Shao-chi.
