The cultural revolution was essentially an attack on the educated and intellectual segments of society, either arresting them or forcing them to go to the country and perform peasant labor!. Consequently, the main effects on China was to set back its intellectual development and produce a shortage of available people in professions such as medicine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Her only child, a daughter, was beaten to death because she did not find fault with, nor agree with the inquisitors that her mother had done anything wrong!. also the book "Wild Swans" by a woman, author Jung Chang, who immigrated here from China!. This book is a memoir following three generations of women in her family in China through the revolutions, especially the events of the Cultural Revolution!.
