I just started The Three-Body Problem and have really been enjoying so far. That being said, the first chapter takes place during a struggle session at a university, where a professor is accused of reactionary thought by teaching Einstein's theory of relativity and the Big Bang Theory by his own accord in an intro physics class.

Is there any historical truth to this sort of backlash, and if so, why? I'm no physicist, but I don't understand how ToR/BBT contradict dialectical materialism.

The first book beginning is worded like this for two reasons:

China currently taken a way too harsh condemnation of entirety of Cultural Revolution, so author probably wrote that to not only be recieved well by the offical chinese reviews but also the western ones (even fucking Obama praised that book) - i mean he is pioneer and pathfinder who paves the way for chinese sci-fi to move outside of China, which by itself is something to applaud.
Read further. At some point later he do a nearly 180 and justifies CR
(not reason, just warning) Book 3 unfortunately sucks, not for political level but the narration is completely coming apart. There is also official book 4 by different author which is so so, but at least it's organizing the book 3 mess somewhat and give some ending and closure to entirety.
