Do you regret participating in the Cultural revolution? Knowing that thousand year old traditions, knowledge and culture gets wiped away because Mao wanted a bigger leap?

Edit: if you think her view on the CR is "OK", then you are probably sorely misinformed. A lot of people died, even if it isn't directly from her hands but she perpetuated that system and even take pride in it.

So fuck off and stop messaging me.

EDIT 2. My goodness, if you are so interested in hearing her side of the story, no one is stopping her telling it. Just when you start talking bullshit in your story and spouting opinions that is founded on nostalgia and ignorance, it is time to actually say something. Would you sit through a lecture still trying to convince you that light is only a wave and not both? No. It is fucking silly. DO some more research before you start saying I'm false accusing her.

EDIT 3 op - "I do not feel remorse for participating in a revolution in which some blood was shed and some suffering occurred. I am still in doubt of many of the "official" numbers of the atrocities from either China or other sources."

This is not acceptable. Not in modern society anyways. I don't care if you're the pope or donald trump, by saying "some blood was shed and some suffering occurred" is outright bullshit. This the equal to saying "Only some black slaves were treated bad."

Edit 4 She reached her kickstarter. Good for her, how Marxist of her.

Oh really? The book burnings, the religious suppression, old Kung Fu masters getting their property nationalise, etc.

Not trying to be disrespectful but your view on the matter seems pretty... Non-chalant.

My Grand-uncle moved to HK in 1961?. My Grandfather followed soon after a few years. The sources is mostly from him and reading from Historical webpage. I do not classify myself as "highly reliable" though.

It is a fucking ASK ME ANYTHING. We asked and she gave some pretty fucking sub-standard answers.

Not, lets coddle the 95 year old lady and let her tell her tale in rose-tint glasses filled with inconsistency and outright downplay of the atrocities.

I'm asking if she regrets participating into the CR, she has done good. I'm not denying that. I was asking, "Do you regret it (After knowing the atrocities that was created by that system)?"
