  7. THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION A difficult period in Chinese history, the Cultural Revolution was a massive disturbance launched by Chinese leader Mao Zedong to restart the spirit of revolution in China. It lasted from 1966 until the mid-1970s. Mao, who was chairman of the Chinese Communist party, feared that significant social, cultural, and educational inequalities were developing in China, with some social classes in the cities becoming more privileged than others. One of his goals in starting the Cultural Revolution was to eliminate such inequality and superiority. Mao also wanted to get rid of the leadership of those who did not fully agree with his policies. At the same time, Mao felt it was important to revitalize (restart) revolutionary values for the younger generation.

  8. THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION In 1966 large numbers of high school and university students were organized into armed groups known as the Red Guards. Mao closed all of China’s schools and encouraged the Red Guards to attack all “traditional values” and to test party officials by publicly criticizing them. Millions of students stormed through cities and towns, harassing and often physically attacking officials, intellectuals, teachers, and others thought to be not fully committed to revolutionary values. Large numbers of these people died. The resulting terror and chaos completely disrupted city life as well as urban industries, and China’s economy suffered greatly. The schools were reopened in 1969–70. After Mao died in 1976, the Cultural Revolution was brought to a close. It was officially ended in 1977, leaving nearly 3 million purged party members and countless wrongfully persecuted citizens awaiting reinstatement. The damages to the educational system took several decades to repair.
