Real life struggle session of General Peng Dehuai, one of the 10 CCP marshals and chief commander of the Chinese army in Korean War.
What was his crime? He challenged Mao’s Great Leap Forward policy (1958-1961) which killed up to 50 million peasants.
Did the Red Guards who struggled against Peng know about the fact and history? Nope!! They were never taught the real history just like today’s American students. All they were told that Peng was a counter-revolutionary and “orange man bad”. That’s enough to trigger their deepest hatred for him!
Gen Peng had to endure more than 100 struggle sessions like this one in the video and his ribs were broken from beatings.
The man next to Peng was Zhang Wentian. His crime was that he agreed with Peng.

All the Red Guards were discarded after their usefulness was no more. Some were killed by the military and the rest sent to labor camps to be re-educated through physical labor to become “real” Communists!
That the cycle of the revolution!!
