First I would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to see this troubled period of Chinese history from a whole new perspective.

The Chinese Cultural Revolution is seen by many as a cultural genocide, wiping out thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture seen as "backward" and "feudal" by chairman Mao Zedong.
To outsiders living in China today such as me, this country appears to be in a state of cultural void. Traditional culture seems to have been replaced with the Party's culture.
Today still, any attempt to ressurect traditional culture is strictly forbidden and crushed by those in power.

Two questions:
Were you aware of this aspect of the full picture when joining in?
Do you realize the sum of knowledge, traditions and culture that has been lost in the process?

Honestly I didn't want to offend OP, but yeah, Mao and Hitler are both mass murderers.

First I am not Australian, and second a bit of humor has never killed anyone, I don't get butthurt when Chinese people greet me with "Hello" while English is not my mothertongue. How's the view from your high horse?

You are so ignorant, it is incredible. Traditional Chinese culture with CCP's characteristics is part of standard curriculum in schools.
