  1. How did the Cultural Revolution affect the teachers in China? By Simon Sohn

  2. Brief introduction about the Cultural Revolution • Launched in 1966, by Mao. To re-impose his authority on the party and therefore the country • The role of the Red Guards was mainly to attack "the four olds” • The Red Guards accused many teachers.

  3. What did the Red Guards do to the teachers? • Punishments could be very cruel and brutal.

  4. Reactions of the teachers • All of them silently endured the brutality and cruelty. Three reasons why: 1.Police had received an order to ignore such violence. 2.The Red Guards were supported by the authorities. 3. Any personal resistance could bring serious revenge.

  5. Similar cases in “Red Scarf Girl” • “Respect the teachers? That’s the nonsense of teachers’ dignity.” (Jiang, 35) • “Hey, this is great! Everybody, look at what Pauper’s done. She put the principal’s name upside down.” (Jiang, 40)
