Chinese Culture Revolution

My character was a student in the university. At the beginning of the Chinese Culture Revolution, he was a red guard. He  was a crazy believer of the Mao’s thought. But after going through many things, he changed his idea. He discovered that he was wrong about a lot of things he had done before.

Things were always changing in China, however, one thing that has never changed is the Communist Party’s unwavering position in China. Chinese politics has always been controlled by the Communist Party, but it is this that has allowed China to make progress.

A Disastrous Revolution: Chinese Culture Revolution

This video was made by Maggie and me. It shows that the situation in the Culture Revolution which was between 1966-1976. Mao Zedong who was the chairman of China at that time was the initiator of this revolution. This revolution was quite similar with the Russian Revolution.  Their ultimate aim is to purge the party. Also, Mao’s another target was to fix the road that China should follow. From this unit I learned that revolution doesn’t means that the society will be better, sometimes the revolution will make the society to become weak. There were many coasts to revolution. For example, the Culture Revolution destroyed many Chinese culture relics. Revolution also sacrifices a lot of people. In Culture Revolution, many intellectuals were oppressed by the Red Guard. Revolutions are cruel and have been bought by many people with their lives, but they are not always good.
