Il est accusé de « droitisme » durant la campagne anti-droitiste et condamné aux travaux forcés dans le « Grand désert du Nord » pendant trois ans, puis est de nouveau persécuté durant la révolution culturelle. Sa femme, la célèbre actrice de (en), Xin Fengxia, devient infirme après avoir été battue et condamnée aux travaux forcées.

He directed The Soul of the Nation, Hong Kong's first colour film, based on his own historical drama Song of Righteousness. He was also well known as an outspoken critic of China's cultural policies, both of the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist governments, and was repeatedly persecuted as a result. He fled to Hong Kong in 1945 to avoid being captured by KMT agents, and returned to Beijing after the foundation of the People's Republic China in 1949. He was denounced as a "rightist" during the Anti-Rightist Campaign and performed hard labour in the "Great Northern Wilderness" for three years, and was again persecuted during the Cultural Revolution. His wife, the celebrated pingju actress Xin Fengxia, refused to divorce him and became disabled after undergoing beatings and penal labour. Despite these ordeals, Wu continued to criticize government censorship and to call for political freedom, and was widely admired for his moral conviction. (en)
