What can be, unburdened by what has been...
Out with the four olds and in with the peoples revolution!!!
You better believe this is what they have in mind !!!
I have a friend who was at that school and witnessed this.
Oh, but she’s sorry.
That’s more than we’ll ever get from America’s communists though.
My wife told me that the streets of Shanghai are full of elderly Red Guards. They’re mostly beggars now, homeless.
They ask passersby for donations, and everyone ignores them. No one wants to even look at them.
That's crazy! Any details of interest?
Now she is a good communist.
i still remember being told to clean my plate as Chinese children were starving...
I have a copy of the little red book, as seen on college professor’s desks in the 1960s.
Yep. People laugh and makes jokes about her unburdening because they don't understand what it means.
And she was permitted to come to the US and obtain college degrees.
Technically, she had no criminal record that would prevent her entry to the US. She was never arrested for murdering her principal. She was a hero for the murder.
My copy has a forward by Lin Piao,who was died mysteriously after having openly criticized Mao.
Good
She said it sickens her to think of it now, but that all the students were caught up in a mass hysteria. To show any reluctance might expose one to a similar fate or at minimum be accused of disloyalty. Over years I’ve heard several stories about life during that time. For most, it’s a source of great shame. Some have erased the horror from their memories and simply tell stories of the awful hunger and toil they endured.
If American commies get in power here they’ll kill more than a few million people.
Song Bin Bin, everybody knows one
Song Bin Bin, every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to
The blues now and then
But when you take a teacher and beat him to death
You start a cultural revolution
You start a cultural revolution
Song Bin Bin, weeping like a willow
Song Bin Bin, sleeping on my pillow
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy. - 1984, George Orwell
but that all the students were caught up in a mass hysteria. Isn’t this what we see today in this country? controlled and encouraged by those in power who want to remain in power
