Roderick Marfarquhar – The Once and Future Tragedy of the Cultural Revolution

I do not understand the point of  not acknowledging history. I understand when terrible things happen people just want to forget about it, but it seems so obvious that people need to talk about it to spread awareness. It is also crazy to me that Xi Jinping is leading China towards another Cultural Revolution and it does not appear that China is very aware of this change taking place. Xi Jinping fits all the ingredients you need to have a  cultural revolution and although  the motive of Mao is different then the motive of Xi it appears that it will have the same outcome, which is millions of people’s lives that are affected. I wonder whether the Chinese people will realize and do something if it turns into something that mocks Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
