Have you heard the term "Cultural Revolution" and wondered what it refers to? Or maybe you know it was a rough time in Chinese history but don't know what happened during that time. Join Mike Chen as he gives you a brief overview of China's Cultural Revolution and helps you understand some of the phenomena that characterized that time.
From the film Morning Sun. The film Morning Sun attempts in the space of a two- hour documentary film to create an inner history of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (c.1964-1976). It provides a multi-perspective view of a tumultuous period as seen through the eyes—and reflected in the hearts and minds —of members of the high-school generation that was born around the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, and that came of age in the 1960s. Others join them in creating in the film's conversation about the period and the psycho-emotional topography of high-Maoist China, as well as the enduring legacy of that period.
