- 16 May 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of China's Cultural Revolution which took place from May 1966 to October 1976.
Chinese leader Mao Zedong consolidated his power by purging his political rivals and those favouring capitalism. Millions of Chinese were persecuted, China's economy was paralysed, and the country was plunged into chaos. More than 16 million people, mainly students, were sent to the countryside for re-education.
It is estimated that more than a million people died in the countryside amidst harsh living conditions.
Great channel.
Being in China today, walk in someone’s house: no art on the wall; few books in the house. People in China, and world still deprived and suffering from Cultural Revolution to this day. 😒
That is a stereotype
Source?
We in the West ought to listen carefully and take advice from the lesson learned. Independent minds are few and far between in our society as people submit to a very similar mind-controlling which robs them of the ability to think logically and systematically.

Love your persistence.
Most Chinese people seem to talk about the Cultural Revolution with no passion... like anthropologists examining their own Holocaust as a blip on the historical timeline. They have no problem being passionate about what the Japanese did to them.
It is always same strategy to have enemy in outside when the country have to keep in order. Nationalism is often times related from its economical condition.
Same thing to the Culture Revolution. Scape goat. Unfortunately young Chinese people are more happy to point out Japan than thinking about current Chinese problem.
Aaron That’s because the revolution benefited many at the same time as it destroyed many. Under the Japanese ALL suffered.
That's because the CCP keeps reminding people of what the Japanese did in WW2. The Cultural Revolution ? Not so much because it does not benefit them.
Similar to how many Westerners talk about dropping bombs in the Middle East, slavery of black Africans, imperialism, humiliating and forcing opium onto the Chinese population with little passion but have no problem being passionate about accusing others of "human rights violations" and "suppression of freedom".

Spoiler: it was shit
For an entire generation. Their Boomer generation were much worse than the West'
I admire the chinese way of seeing things at its most practical
Is it just me or did anyone else mistaken Suh Noi for Carrie Lam
Tiananmen square massacre did not occur by the will of a man who had been dead for years.
The answer is : It did not (could not) change..
Please enlighten me. How as this the lost generation when middle schools increased to almost double/tripled the amount. If they started at 11 years old and some as young as 8 to my findings they would still be old enough to attend school. The older part of this group 16- 18 yes, lost generation but didn't they begin working on factories. I feel this this is all sad due to lack of education. However, the life expectancy group. Women got equal rights for the most part. This has to been something. What film would you suggest about the revolution? Thanks for sharing.
What do you meant ? 11 years old at the start of the Cultural Revolution ini 1966 ? Meant born in 1955, but still can go to school in 1976 at the end of the Revolution you said ? That's very old to learn at the middle school. .
The schools triples ? Whereas the teachers were targets of the Cultural Revolution, how could it be possible ?
Maybe you meant after Mao's death and Deng Xiaoping rose to power then could schooling be started again ?!
The Last Emperor
The Chinese have a saying "可怜之人必有可恨之处”.
