I've been interested in knowing more about the #TwentiethCentury #history of #China. I find the #ChineseRevolution fascinating, including #MaoTseTung and the so-called #GreatLeapForward or #CulturalRevolution and all it did. So far everything I've learned is how awful the Cultural Revolution was, and it seems a true and a fair assessment. But, everything I've found are Western accounts (see the video below) and not Chinese. I'm curious how the Chinese understand it.
