Is the cultural revolution the largest holocaust to Chinese people after the liberation?
As a matter of fact, compared with those millions of (tens millions of ?) farmers who were starved to death during the three-year famine millions of former employees of Guo Ming Dang, landlords in villages, and rich peasants who were executed by shooting in the great purges and land reform campaign,
hundreds of thousands right wings who were exiled to the northwest, and people who died in the wilderness in the anti-rightist campaign, those Chinese communist party officials who were being hit a little and being led through the streets for public warning was nothing at all.
Why was the cultural revolution considered as Mao Zedong's main accusation and speculation into China's movement of the liberation the most terrible campaign? The reason for this is because the main characters of the Communist purges of the cultural revolution were officials and celebrities.
That is because he had tasted of the proletarian dictatorship during the cultural revolution. But in other campaigns, he was only an onlooker, or even an accomplice.
Perhaps this is what Christians said about the original sin that, one is being indifferent to others ' pain, persecution, and tragic death, but can never forget about his suffering. The modern civilization and autocracy may be distinguished here. The modern civilization recognized that if you don't protect others' rights, then you will lose your own rights. To other people, "I" always the "He". As long as "He" is protected, then "I" will be safe.
The late Chinese President, Liu Shaoqi, when he was being persecuted, he protested that he was still a citizen. I don't know if he ever thought that at that moment, those who were being sufaned by him were also the party members, citizens, and persons, and couldn't be treated as animals. If one thinks that it is right to sufan others and being sufaned is wrong, then he will never understand it thoroughly even until he dies.
