Opinion/Editorial Article

China is Slowly Falling Apart
       Chairman Mao has started the Cultural Revolution and wants to change China in to a better and new country. He is doing this by getting rid of the Four Olds. By doing this, the Cultural Revolution is tearing China apart. Lots of people are getting hurt, not only on the outside but on the inside too. Someone can’t just change a whole county all of a sudden. Open your eye’s people, Mao Zedong is ruining China right before we know it!
        Lots of homes are getting searched by the Red Guards and being left as a mess. The Red Guards leave people’s valuables on the ground with the rest of their things. This is not the right thing to do just to see if families are hiding any weapons or more importantly, the Four Olds. But what is really terrible is that the Red Guards don’t care. They leave the house a mess not caring that it takes days and probably lots of yen to pay for the damages. It’s like they have no feelings for anyone at all.
        So many people are getting tortured from the Red Guards right this minute. Lots of people are sweeping the ground and being humiliated. Some of them collapse to the ground while other people walk by like nothing ever happened. Sometimes they are even related and go against their family and only care about themselves. They wouldn't care if their parents were beaten to death. Some people are so selfish and only take care of their future and not care for anyone else.
        Every where, businesses are getting shut down.There are signs on the ground that were ripped off and even broken into little pieces. So, if businesses are shut down, that means alot of people don’t have jobs. Iif people don’t have jobs then they don’t have the money to help support their family. Furthermore, some schools were shut down which left the teachers jobless and the children with out an education. So a lot of children were behind on their school work.
        Although very few people think the Cultural Revolution is bad, many other people think it is a great thing for their country. Some might think that Mao knows what he’s doing and it’s for the benefit for theirr country. In addition, the peasants are so happy because the Cultural Revolution is so helpful to them. Also, Mao is creating a new and better China that would turn out to be really good for their country in the end. But we can never predict the future, can we?
        Over all, the Cultural Revolution was not such a good idea. So many people are getting killed or even killing themselves. There were a lot more families than peasants who were living just fine but then the Revolution came along and ruined their homes and their relationships with each other. It should all just stop. All of earth is one big family so why not stick up for each other and not think of ourselves all the time?
