("Only Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, who has cultivated an image as the caring grandfather figure of the national leadership, rivaled Mr. Bo’s popularity. But while the modest Mr. Wen was always careful to show his loyalty to the party’s central command, Mr. Bo often seemed to appeal to the disenfranchised masses who longed for someone to shake things up")
