Hey there, future historian! Strap in because we're diving into the thrilling story of China's Cultural Revolution. This is like the ultimate drama series with heroes, villains, and massive plot twists, except it's all real! 🐉

The Cultural Revolution Kicks Off 🚀

  • Start Date: May 1966
  • Major Players: Mao Zedong (the big boss), Lin Biao (his right-hand man), Zhou Enlai (the peacemaker), Deng Xiaoping, Liu Shaoqi (guys trying to calm things down)
  • What's Going On: Mao announces a party purge led by the CCRG (Central Case Review Group).

The Tiananmen Square Rally 📣

  • When: August 1966
  • What: A mass rally that made the Cultural Revolution a national buzzword. Think of it as the Super Bowl of Chinese politics at the time.

The Wall-Poster Campaign 🎨

  • What: University students, under Lin Biao's guidance, use wall-posters to criticize the education system.
  • Why: They believe education is straying from Maoist ideals.

🤔 Real-world Example: Imagine if college students started using Instagram Stories to call out their professors and education system for not being revolutionary enough. Chaos, right?

The Unrest on Campus 🎓

  • Action by Deng Xiaoping and Liu Shaoqi: Sent work teams to campuses to control the situation.
