From the film Morning Sun. The film Morning Sun attempts in the space of a two-hour documentary film to create an inner history of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (c.1964-1976). It provides a multi-perspective view of a tumultuous period as seen through the eyes—and reflected in the hearts and minds—of members of the high-school generation that was born around the time of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, and that came of age in the 1960s. Others join them in creating in the film’s conversation about the period and the psycho-emotional topography of high-Maoist China, as well as the enduring legacy of that period.

Chairman Mao is like the sun…. for the people’s happiness he works… He is the people’s liberator!
mao was anti-christ, anti-humanity, anti-government…. mao was a MASS MURDERER!
Ive done extensive research on the Red Guards. They were fighting against thousands of years of reactionary culture that oppressed the masses not to mention discriminated against females and children. Their movement was the movement of the youth, the youths power to lead was fully engaged. That was why it was powerful, and at times reckless.
Of course you do “comrademiller” LOLOLOL
YOU’RE DISGUSTING STOP READING LEFTIST PROPAGANDA AND UNDERSTAND TRUE HISTORY AND NOT SYMPATHIZE WITH THIS LEFTIST GARBAGE.
Mao liked to present himself as ‘one of the peasants’ but behind the scenes this ruthless bastard enjoyed a life of luxury- he had swimming pools, girls, and his propaganda machine hugely exaggerated his roles in the 2nd Sino-Japanese War
Mao saw people as mere statistics
his proponents say he doubled the population of China… why is that a good thing?
His policies directly and deliberately killed millions. Fact
Mao Zedong can go to hell
It wasn’t just the landlords who suffered. Anyone ‘perceived’ to not have been revolutionary enough were persecuted as well- even the Red Guards own parents. Thousands were driven to suicide because they did not conform.
Whatever way you try to gloss it over, innocent people suffered in that time
The CCP continues to torture, censor and deny free expression. That in itself proves their guilt. Personally I will open champagne when this anti-human regime falls.
China WILL change
For many, the 1960s was a time of youth of free love, of hippies and rock festivals
But in Red China, it was a dark, brutal period. A time of fanatical hysteria, a time of widespread persecution, torture, deeply entrenched propaganda and brainwashing
China today, thankfully, is a very different country.
But as long as the blood-drenched Communist Party has absolute power, it has a long way to go
A Neo Liberals wet dream come true.
I always liked Mao’s idea of destroying the old world to build the new. You guys see them destroying culture. They felt that they were ridding their nation of the remnants of a bygone era, an era built on the exploitation and slavery of the people. I feel for them.
The people here saying what the Red Guards did to the Landlords was disgusting have not read enough history of pre-revolutionary China, the peasants were forced to give almost all of their grain to the landlords with little left for themselves – if they failed a harvest they went into debt with interest – during droughts the landlords charged for the use of wells – children were enslaved in sweatshops in the cities literally chained to work benches. They deserved everything they got.
看完很难受，不想再看第二遍了，我操，死逼毛
Renenber they make everything in china
Was that a hair saloon they were destrooying in the beginning? fuck em miscreants
Was that a church they were destrooying in the beginning? fuck em
the smashing art was stupid the rest was just payback for all the years of exploitation of the masses and now the few of the ruling class just cry and whine ,fucking bastards
It was a hell of life, but look they were so happy to be there dancing with the devil.
3,000 years of culture destroyed in three years.
Actually the red guards were in mayory university and secondary students.
