The Cost of the Cultural Revolution, Fifty Years Later
The Cost of the Cultural Revolution, Fifty Years Later
BY EVAN OSNOS
The Cultural Revolution, which began fifty years ago next week, was brutal
on a scale that can’t be compared with China today. But there are parallels
worth examining.
1979, three years after the end of the Great Proletarian Cultural
Revolution, the Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping visited the United States. At a
state banquet, he was seated near the actress Shirley MacLaine, who told
Deng how impressed she had been on a trip to China some years earlier. She
recalled her conversation with a scientist who said that he was grateful to
Mao Zedong for removing him from his campus and sending him, as Mao did
millions of other intellectuals during the Cultural Revolution, to toil on a
farm. Deng replied, “He was lying.”
