The black and red history of our country

China, one of the biggest, most modern, most industrialized countries. Many historical revolutions happened in China, and one of the most influential revolutions is the Cultural revolution that happened between 1966 and 1976. In the ten years, the Chinese experienced both the brightest, most glorious period of their country. Also, the darkest, and the biggest famine of all time. During this period, people were killed, traditional culture faded away, as well architecture and items were destroyed.

What I have learned from this revolution unit is how power can make people thirsty, and with more than one person as the leader in one country or community can start a endless competetion. Until all the components die or “Disappear” from the party.  Eventually, the ones who actually suffers is the citizens. In this case it was the ones who worked all day long in order to help construct a industrialized country that Mao wanted. The ones who contributed their whole life in this revolution simply because what the propaganda imply ” All Chinese, All people should followe Chairman Mao’s ideas! A country with a fully communism society is an actuall paradise, and we should all go against the horrible, harmful capitalism which creates human-hell.”  In conclusion, this cultrual revolution is a complete failure, even though it did influence China’s monderization speed, but by looking at the revolution it’s self, it failed ( I think No body actually earned benefits from this revolution) how ever, it was truely worth it, as a Chinese, being able to have such a great opportunity to dig deeply into our country’s history was splendid!

Our video is inspired by common craft, the video is edited by Andy and daniel wrote the script, I personally worked on all the graphic/drawings. We collaborated well through out the two weeks.

  1. Marrisa, I loved your clean and clear voice. Also, the appropriate pauses in between, and enthusiastic background music! One thing I learned was Mao didn’t want China to become the second Soviet Union, which I did not know before. Great Job!

  2. Marrisa, I really liked the video and you also had a very loud and clear voice! However, I think that the introduction was a bit long and maybe you could have cut it down a bit. . I also agree with you that Chairman Mao played an important role in the Chinese revolution.

  3. Marrisa, I really like the background music and your introduction was very creative and also made me want to watch your video. I think this video is very calm and easy to understand! One thing I learned is that Mao didn’t want China to become a part of the Soviet Union. Overall,I that you included all key elements and created a great video 🙂
