Annotated Bibliography Primary Sources Chairman Mao Tse-Tung Worship and Propaganda. 1969.

National Archives and Records Administration. This silent film was a useful source that helped us understand how Chairman Mao was portrayed during the Cultural Revolution. We were able to obtain this film in a DVD format and used some of the footage to complement our website. Even though the video quality is very poor and there was no audio, the message of the propaganda was strong. This film was from the CIA Film Library and contained footage of massive rallies, meetings, and demonstrations. This propaganda was clearly aimed to incite revolutionary fervor from the masses and the fact that it was produced in 1969 when certain groups of people were criticizing Maos continuous revolution ideology proves that the Communist Party intended to continue the revolution. Overall, this source gave us a good inside view into China during the years of the Cultural Revolution. China: The Roots of Madness. 1967. National Archives and Records Administration. DVD. This film produced in 1967, during the Cultural Revolution, dealt with the events that occurred in China prior to the Cultural Revolution. The film contains an abundance of archival footage shot in China during the incipient stages of the Chinese Communist Party. This film was not a great help to us because it was was an attempt to understand the recent history of China before the madness of the Cultural Revolution. Additionally, this film focused on military aspects of Chinese history, information that we did not find useful during our research. However, it was interesting because of its 1967 foreign perspective on China. Overall, this film gave us a perspective into the turmoil of China prior to the Cultural Revolution, but was otherwise quite irrelevant to our topic. Chinese Government Propaganda, 1966. 2007. National Archives and Records Administration. This collection of Chinese propaganda, released by the National Archives and Records Administration, was a big help when we were trying to understand the strategies undertaken by the government to incite the Cultural Revolution. Because the material in this collection were aired in 1966, at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, we were able to gain a perspective on the state of China as told by the Chinese Government. The collection mainly contained a film in full color that boasted Chinas advances in nuclear weaponry and other military technologies. It was obvious from watching the propaganda that the government was trying to incite nationalism from the people, which is a fundamental principle of communism. Overall, this source allowed us a glimpse at the intentions of the Chinese Government at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution.

Chung, Jung, and Jon Halliday. Mao: The Unknown Story. New York: Random House, 2005. Print.. This intriguing book gave us many new views on Chairman Mao. Written by a survivor of the Cultural Revolution, this biography of Chairman Mao revealed many shocking details about his life. This book allowed us to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Maos intentions, and from the careful analysis done by the author of detailed information, we were able to gain knowledge on Maos life that we would have otherwise missed. Because of the incredible depth of the information, we used the book more as a reference when we needed information on certain portions of Maos life and also on certain actions of the Chinese Communist Party. Overall, this book was a very informative source for us and gave us an inside look into Maos life, which was a critical part of our research. Coming Back to Their Own Unit [Chinese Communist Propaganda]. National Archives and Records Administration. This collection of propaganda was not as helpful to us as the other collections. The propaganda in this collection, issued well before the Cultural Revolution, was made by the Chinese Communist Party to contrast their humanity with the brutality of the Chinese Nationalist Party. For example, it contained footage of a Nationalist Party brutally attacking a village and then a Communist army giving the peasants food and shelter.In essence, the propaganda was an attempt by the Communist Party to win people, specifically peasants, over to the Communists side and to drive people away from the Nationalists. Even though this collection of propaganda was pretty much irrelevant to our project, we were still able to gain a more thorough understanding of how the Chinese Communists used propaganda and to whom the Communists tended to aim their propaganda at. Communique of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Beijing Review (Dec. 1978): n. pag. Print. This source was a Communique of the most important meeting of Chinese leaders in the decision of reforming Maoist principles in China. In this meeting, Deng and other radicals presented arguments for a rollback of Maoism in all spheres. This meeting mostly set the stage for political and economic reformations that took place during Dengs rule and allowed us to understand Dengs intentions in enacting both. It was interesting to read the opinions of leaders, who finally had a voice after being condemned during the Cultural Revolution and forced to remain silent. The opinions that Deng and other radical leaders presented during this meeting were critical in helping us understand their intentions in directing China away from Maoism. We mainly used this communique to understand the fundamental meaning underneath Dengs economic and political reforms.

Li, Moying. Snow Falling in Spring. Illus. Gao Xiang. New York: Melanie Kroupa, 2008. Print. This captivating first person narrative of growing up during the Cultural Revolution allowed us to better understand the brutal actions of both the Chinese Government and also the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. In the book, the author describes in chilling detail the brutal assaults on teachers by the Red Guards and also her captivity in a labor camp. Through the eyes of a 12 year old growing up during the Cultural Revolution, we realized just how cruel and brutal the actions of the Red Guards and the Communists were in China during the Cultural Revolution. Overall, this book allowed us to gain a perspective on the brutality exhibited by various groups of people during the Cultural Revolution. Liu, Huaqiu. Strive for a Peaceful International Environment. Liberation Daily 3 Nov. 1997: n. pag. Print. This report which was written by Chinas director of Foreign Affairs Office outlined Chinas intentions in expanding its international influence through diplomacy. In the report, Liu stated that the main task of Chinas diplomatic work should be to promote Dengs New China, and to promote peaceful, mutual development. This report mainly led us to understand the intentions of Chinas new foreign policies. We used the information in this report to help us understand Dengs intentions in extending Chinas prestige on the international stage as well as Dengs intentions for China as a whole. It is without a doubt true to say that Deng would have been proud that China held the 2008 Summer Olympics, as that marked the success of his foreign policies. Overall, this report allowed us to understand Dengs international relations reforms and helped us with constructing the political reform section under the reform part of our website. Mao Tse-Tung, 1969. 2010. National Archives and Records Administration. This video, which was a documentary from the CIA Film Library, gave us comprehensive knowledge on the actions of Chairman Mao and also the Communist Part during and leading up to the Cultural Revolution. Because this film did not provide much detailed information on Mao, we were forced to consult other sources for more detailed information on events mentioned briefly in this film. Overall, despite the lack of detailed information, this source was a great help to us when we needed a comprehensive view of a general topic. Miracle in Free China. 1960. National Archives and Records Administration. This short, 29 minute film of the situation inside China produced in 1960 did not provide very much useful information. Narrated in Chinese, the film boasted Chinas recent technological advances and encouraged Chinese citizens to labor for their country while showing footage of workers busy carving out a tunnel for a railroad. Even though this video did provide us with an inside look at China at the time, it did not contain any useful information nor did it provide appropriate footage to be embedded on our website.

Schell, Orville. Shake, Rattle, and Roll. Los Angeles Times Magazine Nov. 1992: n. pag. Print. This article, written by a witness of Chinas cultural developments after the Cultural Revolution, described the current state of Chinese culture and contrasted it with that of old China. It captured the excitement of Chinese citizens to see new forms of entertainment such as rock concerts or movies. The vivid description of Chinese people wildly reacting to performances by newly famous rock stars gave us a clear sense of Chinas changing cultural landscape. We mainly used this source in constructing the cultural reform segment under the reform section of our website. Schram, Stuart R. Mao Tse-tung and the Theory of the Permanent Revolution, 1958-1969. The China Quarterly 46 (Apr. 1971): 221-244. Print. This article published in a Chinese Journal in 1971, during the Cultural Revolution, was on Maos belief in the theory of Permanent Revolution. The author described Maos understanding of Marx as not that he did not understand Marx but that he understood him too well. This article provided another incentive for Maos enactment of the Cultural Revolution. Mao believed that in a true communist state, a constant feeling of revolution and groundbreaking progress had to be present among the masses. We included some of the information in this source in the background section of our website. Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Resolution on Certain Questions in the History of Our Party Since the Founding of the Peoples Republic of China. N.p.: n.p., 1981. Print. This eye-opeining statement released by the Chinese Communist Party on the topic of the Cultural Revolution itself was a big help in understanding the government itselfs view on the Cultural Revolution. Even though the Party has a history of denying any errors in its past, it embraced the harmful effects of the Cultural Revolution and indeed placed blame for it on Chairman Mao. This important publication allowed us to understand the government and Dengs view on the Cultural Revolution and how it fit in with rest of the history of the Communist Party. Overall, the Party did not actively condemn Mao for his mistakes. Instead, the Party claimed Mao had a more positive impact on China than a negative one. It was very interesting to read a statement in which Deng and the Party was attempting to balance between blaming Mao for the Cultural Revolution and at the same time upholding Mao as, still, an omnipotent figure. Mostly, we used the information on this page to help us construct the reaction page of our website.

U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee. A Midcourse Assessment of Chinas Economic Reform. Chinas Economic Future: Challenges to U.S. Policy. By Hang-Sheng Cheng. N.p.: n.p., 1995. Print. This was another section of the report Chinas Economic Future: Challenges to U.S. Policy. We obtained this section in order to understand what China had been able to achieve economically because of Dengs economic reforms. In the section, the author lauds Chinas economic progress and expresses apprehension for the future of such development. It is very difficult to understand the language of the author since there is heavy use of economic terminology, but we were able to decipher the words and understand the jest of it. In our opinions, the problems warned by the author has so far been avoided. From this, we were able to understand what exactly China had been able to accomplish as a result of Dengs economic reforms and why that has happened. We mainly used this to enhance the economic reforms page of the reform section of our website. U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee. The Pattern and Logic of Chinas Economic Reform. Chinas Economic Future: Challenges to U.S. Policy. By Barry Naughton. N.p.: n.p., 1995. Print. This was a section of a report compiled for the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee on Chinas economic developments and how it could potentially challenge Americas economic prowess. The author clearly outlines Dengs economic reforms, what they attempted to achieve, and what they have achieved so far. The scholarly analysis of Dengs economic reforms and how they have been successful in reviving Chinas economy allowed us to understand what exactly Deng did to bring China out of a slump and into international recognition. Even though it was difficult to understand the language used in the report because of the use of economic terminology, we were able to grasp the jest of the authors points. We mainly used this report in constructing the economic reforms part of our reforms section on our website. Wang, William, Dr. Personal interview. 19 Feb. 2012. Dr. William Wang was born a little before the Cultural Revolution and remembers it as a Child growing up. He ardently holds the view that the Cultural Revolution is a shameful spot in Chinas history and speaks towards Chinas ideals, which shackles China to this day and will limit China in its growth. He has done much research on the Cultural Revolution and is very learned on the subject. His keen insight and strong knowledge base allowed us to gain extend our own knowledge of the Cultural Revolution. We were able to incorporate his comments into our website through the use of video recording. We

are grateful for the opportunity to converse with such a scholar of our topic and personal witness to the Revolution itself. Zeng, Youchun. Personal interview. 19 Feb. 2012. While the facts provide a general synopsis of the plot of the Cultural Revolution, the stories give emotional suspense to individuals who often lost their independence from society in the ruthless craze of the time. This can not be more true for Youchun Zeng, who was a child residing in the middle of southern rural China, not far from Maos birth place. Coming from a family in which his mother was from the landlord class, Youchun vividly remembers how his family was subjected to the whims of the Cultural Revolution. His experiences, which are different from those of the people of the major cities, are dramatically, yet playfully portrayed on our website. Zhang, Hongling. Personal interview. 21 Feb. 2012. This Clayton High School Chinese language teacher provided us with an extremely indepth analysis on the thoughts and reactions of Mao, his inner circle, and the proletarians toward the Cultural Revolution. However, since Ms.Zhang was born at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, most of her memories were from the later stages of the revolution and the aftermath. She conveyed to us the emotions that she and her family felt upon the death of Mao, her anticipation of Deng Xiaopings reforms in the face of weariness from the destruction of the Cultural Revolution, and her feelings toward Chinas rapid economic, political, and cultural transformation in the late twentieth century. We are very thankful that she helped us to visualize the Cultural Revolution in terms of peoples emotions while providing insight into Chinas political scene since the 1980s.

Secondary Sources Barm, Geremie R. The Greying of Chinese Culture. China Review 1992: n. pag. Print. This extensive article written by a professor of Asian history dealt with the loosening in censorship of different types of entertainment following the Cultural Revolution and its effects, including a decrease in political activism from commoners. We mainly used this source to understand the real cultural revolution that followed the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Because we were only looking for a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Chinese culture, the details described in this article were of no use to us. Overall, Barms detailed analysis of Chinas cultural evolution was very intriguing, and we were able to understand his points and incorporate them into the Cultural reforms portion of our website. Biography - Mao Tse Tung: Chinas Peasant Emperor. 2005. A&E Home Video. This biographical documentary was very useful in the initial stages of our research and we used it to gain an overall understanding of Chairman Mao since he is central to the Cultural Revolution. Even though the video contained information that seems irrelevant to Mao during the cultural revolution, such as information on his youth and education, it allowed us to understand the kind of person Chairman Mao was and to decipher why he was so intent on a revolution backboned by commoners and not aristocrats. This video also contained excellent interviews of people who personally knew Mao and was close to him during his years as the dominating leader of China. Overall, we mainly used this source during the beginning stages of our research and only found it useful then. Chaozhu, Ji. The Man on Maos Right. New York: Random, 2008. Print. This book provided a first-hand account of Mao from a scholar who had spent time on his side. While no content from the book was directly used on the website, Maos thinking behind the Cultural Revolution became clarified to us. From Maos core Marxist beliefs to his powerful political maneuvers, Ji Zhaochu exposed us to how Mao was able to incite the masses through his connections and appealing to the people. Ultimately, the book provided us with insight on Maos ability to fight a continuous revolution and inability to lead the most populated country in the world to the right path. China: A Century of Revolution. 2007. Zeitgeist Films. This incredibly informative documentary of Chinese history in three DVDs covered the years before the founding of the Chinese Communist Party to the modern era. This six hour documentary contained excellent footage of the situation inside China during that time including footage of commoners starving during the Great Leap Forward as well as speeches made by political figures during the Cultural Revolution and afterwards. In addition, this documentary contained excellent interviews of both scholars and also people who lived in and survived the Cultural Revolution. Because this documentary covered so many years of Chinas history, we were able to gain a detailed yet

comprehensive grasp of Chinas situation during that time. We implemented some of the footage found in the documentary on our website. China Rises: Behind the Great Wall. 2008. Discovery Channel. This extensive documentary on Chinas raising status in the world allowed us to understand the long-term impacts of the economic reforms enacted by Deng Xiaoping after Maos death. This three hour program focused on the booming economy of China in the last 25 years and how China, long a country devoted to communism, embraced a capitalist economy and are now challenging the west in economic power. Even though this video was very well produced and provided lots of fascinating information, we were unable to find an appropriate portion of video to be implemented into our website. Clark, Paul. The Chinese Cultural Revolution: A History. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2008. Print. This book presented an interesting aspect of the Cultural Revolution that is usually overlooked: the cultural aspect. Although it is true that culture underwent drastic changes during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, it was more of a means than an end. Mao and, most prominently, Maos wife Jing Qing were altering the dynamics of Culture within China, allowing only certain plays and operas to be presented. This change in culture, however, was only enacted to further develop nationalism and love for Mao. Therefore, the actual cultural revolution in the Cultural Revolution was only a means to consolidating power and inciting the masses to achieve Maos political intentions. Overall, the information in this book was very interesting and served to make our research more rounded, but it presented only a topic of very minor importance to the Cultural Revolution as a whole. Declassified: Chairman Mao. 2006. History Channel. DVD. This intriguing documentary was the first documentary we used in our research. It gave us a comprehensive look at the tendencies of Chairman Mao. Because the video mainly focused on Mao, some parts of it proved to be irrelevant to the Cultural Revolution itself. This video contained outstanding interviews with people such as diplomat Henry Kissinger, Ambassador James Lilley, and Dr. Orville Schell, who edited The China Reader: The Reform Era, which is one of our sources. We mainly utilized this source at the beginning of our research to gain an overall perspective on our topic. Because it did not provide very specific information, we found it to be less useful at later stages in our research.

Ethridge, James M. Chinas Unfinished Revolution: Problems and Prospects Since Mao. San Francisco: China Books and Periodicals, 1990. Print. As the title of the book indicates, this source provided us with knowledge on the reforms enacted in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution. While most historians visualize Deng as an extremely successful pragmatist who propelled China toward its current economic superpower status, this book gave a holistic view which included both his drastic economic and cultural reforms as well as his lack of political reform which resulted in the Tiananmen Square Incident of 1989. Moreover, this book gave us insight on the common persons perception of the Chinese government both during the times of Mao and Deng. By including the peoples reactions to the leaders, we were able to get an idea of the peoples reactions to the Cultural Revolution. Thus, this book was an excellent source for both the reform page and to a lesser and more indirect extent, the reaction page. Gifford, Rob. China Road. New York: Randok, 2007. Print. While it would be difficult to argue that the Cultural Revolution, with its destruction and backwardness, was a fortunate event, there were certainly positive outcomes as a result of the revolution in its aftermath. This book portrayed to us how Chinese leaders learned from the disaster of the Cultural Revolution in the aftermath of Maos death, and the subsequent reforms that were put into place by Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and even the twenty-first centurys Hu Jintao. Moreover, the book analyzed Dengs thoughts on the Cultural Revolution, which is ultimately his reaction. Thus, the book was a valuable source in both our reaction and reform pages in confirming the validity of our content. Langley, Andrew. The Cultural Revolution: Years of Chaos in China. Minneapolis: Compass Point Books, 2008. Print. This book was a great help to us at the beginning of our research. It is a compact overview of the Cultural Revolution filled with quotes from important Chinese leaders. The information in this book helped us in constructing our thesis and deciding on a direction for our project. In addition, the book contains a helpful timeline at the end that included important events during the course of the Cultural Revolution and before it. This timeline helped us design our own outline of the Cultural Revolution under our revolution page. The multiple maps and charts in the book skillfully presented information on the Cultural Revolution in a way that was easy to understand. We continued to utilize this book throughout our research whenever we were in need of a brief summary of a certain event during the Cultural Revolution. Overall, this book was an excellent overview of the Cultural Revolution and helped us to decide the fundamental direction of our project.

Lifton, Robert Jay. Revolutionary Immortality: Mao Tse-Tung and the Chinese Cultural Revolution. New York: Random House, 1968. Print. This book dealt with the legacies of the Cultural Revolution. It outlined different impacts of various actions undertaken by leaders during the Cultural Revolution. We did not find this book to be of great help because it mainly focused on the ideological consequences of the Cultural Revolution. It discussed different ideals of Maoism and its relevance to Chinese society today. However exceptional the psychological analysis the author did to write this book, the information it contained was simply not very relevant to our focus on the legacies of the Cultural Revolution. However, we did use some of the information in this book to understand that although it is possible to reform China in more tangible ways, such as political and economic, it is very hard if not impossible to alter attitudes and perspectives held by people during the Cultural Revolution. Overall, the information in this book is very engaging and relevant to the legacy of the Cultural Revolution, but we decided on a focus that was more on conspicuous impacts of the Cultural Revolution than psychological ones. Maos Bloody Revolution Revealed. 24 May, 2007. This source proved to be one of our most useful sources. Because the documentary focused mainly on the Cultural Revolution, it provided very relevant information. The documentary featured a combination of excellent footage of China shot during the Cultural revolution and outstanding interviews. The interviews conducted in the video include ones with family members of political figures, such as Maos granddaughter and Deng Xiaopings son. We integrated some clips, including a number of interviews, found in this documentary into our website. We used this documentary to obtain information on all aspects of our project, constantly referring back to it for footage as well as details on specific topics. Overall, we used this documentary throughout our research and while constructing our website, repeatedly referencing it for footage, interviews, and insight. Oksenberg, Michel, and Richard Bush. Chinas Political Evolution, 1972-1982. Problems of Communism (Sept.-Oct. 1982): n. pag. Print. This superb report was on Chinas political evolution under Deng following the Cultural Revolution. The report systematically distinguished the political scheme under Deng with the political picture under Mao. This is a unique accomplishment as it is very difficult to obtain information on the inner party actions during Maos reign. In the report, the authors stated that Deng realized the balefulness of Maoism and decided to apply certain restrictions on inner party leaders to prevent desperate power struggles like the one Mao underwent. We utilized the this report to understand Dengs political reforms and to construct the political reform page under the reform section of our website.

Roberts, J.A.G. A History of China. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2006. Print. Although this book was extremely comprehensive in covering Chinese history since the civilizations earliest times, this book did not have as much information as other sources on the Cultural Revolution. By covering Chinese history so extensively, however, the book gave us information on the established rich traditions which were subsequently shunned and destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. In this vein, the book did not provide any direct knowledge that we included in our website, but it certainly did give to us the basis for including many events on the timeline page. Moreover, the book reaffirmed our general knowledge on the historical context of the Cultural Revolution, including the Great Leap Forward, as well as the social scene that existed in the aftermath of the Revolution. Rodzinski, Witold. The Peoples Republic of China: A Concise Political History. New York: Macmillan, 1988. Print. While this book mostly reaffirmed our knowledge on Chinas vast history leading up to the Cultural Revolution, the book also detailed some of the ultimate goals of Mao and his comrades upon the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. Among these goals were the desire to shape Chinese thought, culture, and education, all of which were drastically altered by the Communist Party during the Cultural Revolution. Even more specifically, however, the book was useful on our map page with its detailing of specific conflicts that occurred in various parts of the country between those purging and those being purged. Salisbury, Harrison E. China: 100 Years of Revolution. New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1983. Print. While it is impossible to detail every single struggle faced by the Chinese people during the twentieth century, this book comes remarkably close to doing so. The book provided us with historical context from the fall of the Qing Dynasty to the communist takeover of mainland China and then the Great Leap Forward. The book then explained with detail the plot line of Maos coordinating of the Cultural Revolution. For each event during the Revolution, the book explained Maos intentions, personal anecdotes from primary sources, and the disastrous consequences. Lastly, the book detailed the transformation of China from a reclusive Communist dictatorship to a capitalistic society following Maos death. Collectively, then, the book provided us with knowledge on virtually every single page, including background, revolution, reaction, reform, and even our timeline. Being so comprehensive, the book gave us an impression of the underlying themes of the Cultural Revolution which we used on our introductory video and home page.

Starr, John Bryan. Understanding China: A Guide to Chinas Economy, History, and Political Structure. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1997. Print. This book detailed the Peoples Republic of Chinas economic and political scene since the establishment of the country. Although the source did provide us some information on the economic conditions of the great leap forward and the cultural revolution itself, the book placed an emphasis on the reforms brought about in China from the time period between Maos death and the present day. Specifically, the book explained to us the significance of the massive economic reforms during the Deng era as well as his lack of political change in the direction of democracy. In other words, the book educated us with how Chinese leaders set up an extremely successful socialist market economy. Combined with the dramatic results of these reforms, this book became very useful on our website in the reform page and to a lesser extent, the background page. Terrill, Ross. The New Chinese Empire. New York: Basic Books, 2003. Print. This book focused on the era between Mao Zedongs death and the complex Chinese society that exists today. The book detailed the reforms instilled by the leaders of China since 1976, including Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao. It revealed to us the lessons that Deng Xiaoping learned from his suffering during the Cultural Revolution and his subsequent successful efforts to reverse many of those policies put in place from 1966 to 1976. The book then explained how Deng sought to make China even greater than the conditions of the country before the Cultural Revolution in exposing China to drastic and widespread economic reforms. Nevertheless, the book also revealed the weaknesses of some of Dengs reforms, including his lack of democratic political change. In this manner, this book was an un-biased and accurate account of the extent of the reforms, which in turn allowed us to convey in our website the factual changes that were brought about in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution. Wu, Tien-wei. Lin Biao and the Gang of Four: Contra-Confucianism in Historical and Intellectual Perspective. Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 1983. Print. During the Cultural Revolution, the Gang of Four was a group of four political figures, including Maos wife Jing Qing, known for their fervent devotion to Maoist revolution principles. Their trial and removal from power is often recognized as the end of the Cultural Revolution. This book discusses their story, but also addressed Chinas society in relation to their principles and Confucianism. This made the book only tangentially related to our topic. However, the book did provide us with not only some useful information about one of the most prominent political groups during the Cultural Revolution but also intriguing facts about the impact of Communism and Maoism on Chinese society. Even though we appreciate the information included in this book, it was only tangentially related to our topic and was not significantly useful.

ZiHao, Deng. Personal interview. 13 Jan. 2012. Mr. Deng is a current teacher in China on vacation in America. We are glad we were able to catch up with him and learn his thoughts about Chinas current status and culture. We mainly utilized his first-hand knowledge of Chinas cultural scheme to explain our views on the Cultural Reform page under our Reform section. What he provided was personal, intuitive information that we were able to include in the Cultural Reform section of our website. Since Mr. Deng was born after the Cultural Revolution, he has been mostly shielded, by the Chinese government, from learning anything about it through any means except for stories told by people who experienced the Cultural Revolution. This was fascinating to learn. Overall, we are thankful for Mr. Dengs time and we are glad we were able find him for an interview.
