The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966 until 1976. Set into motion by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to preserve 'true' Communist ideology in the country by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society, and to re-impose Maoist thought as the dominant ideology within the Party. The Revolution marked the return of Mao Zedong to a position of power after the Great Leap Forward. The movement paralyzed China politically and significantly affected the country economically and socially.
The Revolution was launched in May 1966, after Mao alleged that bourgeois elements had infiltrated the government and society at large, aiming to restore capitalism. He insisted that these "revisionists" be removed through violent class struggle. China's youth responded to Mao's appeal by forming Red Guard groups around the country. The movement spread into the military, urban workers, and the Communist Party leadership itself. It resulted in widespread factional struggles in all walks of life. In the top leadership, it led to a mass purge of senior officials, most notably Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping. During the same period Mao's personality cult grew to immense proportions.
A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in political power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time when the population rises up in revolt against the current authorities. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:
Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions.
Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center on several issues. Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective, but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences, including sociology and political science. Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon.
Mao Zedong (i/ˈmaʊ zəˈdʊŋ, dzə-/), also transliterated as Mao Tse-tung and commonly referred to as Chairman Mao (December 26, 1893 – September 9, 1976), was a Chinese Communist revolutionary and the founding father of the People's Republic of China, which he governed as Chairman of the Communist Party of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. His Marxist–Leninist theories, military strategies, and political policies are collectively known as Marxism–Leninism–Maoism or Mao Zedong Thought.
Born the son of a wealthy farmer in Shaoshan, Hunan, Mao adopted a Chinese nationalist and anti-imperialist outlook in early life, particularly influenced by the events of the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 and May Fourth Movement of 1919. Mao converted to Marxism–Leninism while working at Peking University and became a founding member of the Communist Party of China (CPC), leading the Autumn Harvest Uprising in 1927. During the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the CPC, Mao helped to found the Red Army, led the Jiangxi Soviet's radical land policies and ultimately became head of the CPC during the Long March. Although the CPC temporarily allied with the KMT under the United Front during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45), after Japan's defeat China's civil war resumed and in 1949 Mao's forces defeated the Nationalists who withdrew to Taiwan.
China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a sovereign state in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.35 billion. The PRC is a one-party state governed by the Communist Party, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces; five autonomous regions; four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing); two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau); and claims sovereignty over Taiwan.
Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the world's second-largest country by land area, and either the third or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the method of measurement. China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.
Crash Course (also known as Driving Academy) is a 1988 made for television teen film directed by Oz Scott.
Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.
The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.

October 1994 - A strange new nostalgia is emerging in China for the hard times of the 1960s.
By delving into hundreds of previously classified Chinese leadership documents, Hong Kong University historian Frank Dikotter has produced an extraordinarily rich history of China’s Cultural Revolution, the period of traumatic political chaos that gripped the People’s Republic from 1962 to 1976. His book “The Cultural Revolution: A People’s History” concludes, contra to conventional wisdom, that ordinary people took advantage of the chaos in which the country’s communist system had been plunged to resurrect the market, effectively driving economic reform from below and initiating the transition towards the system of today.
Culture Revolution - Public execution & Impact
In an effort to head off challenges to his leadership, Chairman Mao unleashed a wave of unrest that swept across China in the 1960s. He wanted to root out opposition and rid the country of any semblance of old Chinese culture, social values and history. At the forefront of the Cultural Revolution were the Red Guards - young, radical students and fanatical supporters of Mao and his circle. Parents and teachers were vilified and in some cases beaten and killed. Old temples, architecture and literature were destroyed too. Saul Yeung was a member of the Red Guards. He spoke to Witness about his memories of that time and the guilt he still carries.

Zhang, 60, describes his role in his mother's death, which he now bitterly regrets, but is publicising to highlight the 'catastrophe' of the 1966-76 Chinese Cultural Revolution.

16 May 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of China's Cultural Revolution which took place from May 1966 to October 1976. Chinese leader Mao Zedong consolidated his power by purging his political rivals and those favouring capitalism. Millions of Chinese were persecuted, China's economy was paralysed, and the country was plunged into chaos. More than 16 million people, mainly students, were sent to the countryside for re-education. It is estimated that more than a million people died in the countryside amidst harsh living conditions.

While the rest of the world was off having a couple of World Wars, China was busily uprooting the dynastic system that had ruled there for millennia. Most revolutions have some degree of tumult associated with them, but China's 20th century revolutions were REALLY disruptive. In 1911 and 1912, Chinese nationalists brought 3000 years of dynastic rule to an end. China plunged into chaos as warlords staked out regions of the country for themselves. The nationalists and communists joined forces briefly to bring the nation back together under the Chinese Republic, and then they quickly split and started fighting the Chinese Civil War. The ...

May 16th marks the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution. The campaign launched by Mao Zedong put China into a decade long chaos One of the main message of the campaign is to purge against counter-revolutionary schemers who conspired to overthrown the Communist Party with a “dictatorship of the bourgeoise”. Other than the ordinary citizens that got caught during the political upheaval, academics, intellectuals and artists were particularly denounced and persecuted to eliminate their “bourgeoise thoughts”. The campaign was marked by an unparalleled array of socialist art guided by “Mao Zedong Thought” and spearheaded by the army which consisted of propaganda posters, staged plays and other art that portrayed the personality cult of Mao. Last week, we featured local artist Ste...
We know that culture is important. We even think we know what it is. But culture isn't perks like dogs and snacks in the workplace -- nor is it a defining personality, like, say, "googleyness". Culture is the collective behavior of an organization... and whether or not you go about creating one, you're going to get one anyway, argues a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz. "Unless you set it, it’ll just be what it is." So how should founders building companies (or leaders trying to turn their company around, address disruption, beat competition, and so on) go about creating a true winning culture? Horowitz shares key takeaways from the only successful slave revolution in the history of humanity -- the Haitian revolution led by Toussaint L'Ouverture in 1791 -- in this keynote first given at a16z's ina...

Fifty years ago Chinese Premier Mao Zedong ignited the Cultural Revolution, one of the strangest and most controversial periods in China's history. The movement began out of Mao's concern the country was straying from Communist dogma. But it eventually became a purge that shut down the nation's schools and universities and led to the imprisonment and 'reeducation' of millions of people viewed as intellectual or bourgeois, including future premier Deng Xiaoping. The revolution spurred an economic crisis and left about 1.5 million dead before it ended in the 1970s.

The year 1967 was a watershed of my Hong Kong experience. When I arrived two years earlier the colony was still, to a large extent, a transit camp for the thousands who had fled communism and were awaiting their chance to begin new lives overseas, in America, Australia, Canada or Britain. Local leftist sympathisers, emboldened by the Cultural Revolution wreaking havoc on the mainland, made the grave mistake of believing they could provoke a general uprising against colonial rule, instead of which they enraged the local community with their bombs and assassinations. The result was a general recognition among the public at large that Hong Kong was something of value. Encouraged by this sudden curiosity about the way Hong Kong was run and where it was headed, the colonial administration respo...
