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”.
