Answer 2

The correct answers are:

• The education system was decimated by school closures.

• The government imprisoned thousands in reeducation camps.

• The government destroyed many important cultural artifacts.

The Chinese Cultural Revolution was a long period of social and political change in China led by Mao Zedong, he used the masses to gain control over the Communist Party. Schools and Universities were closed and churches, shrines, libraries, shops and private homes were ransacked or destroyed. Teachers and intellectuals were publicly humiliated, beaten and murdered. Mao also sent millions of young people who lived in urban areas to the countryside for “re-education”.

Temples, relicts, schools, and books were destroyed during the revolution because for Mao they were a symbol of the bourgeoisie culture. They also called this “Destruction of Four Olds Campaign” they wanted to destroy completely the traditional Chinese Culture so they could create a new one.
