    Thank you for typing this out.

    I've read quite a few aspects of the Culture revolution are seen as a shameful piece of history by modern Chinese. Would you say this is generally true? I've never seen a western country confront their past in a similar way.

    I've seen nuance in person with this, for example, a friends parents moved out of China to the US, yet they'll still defend the party and feel insulted about the constant anti-Chinese sentiment in the US. It sounds familiar to how you described people being the victim but also not giving up on the party.
