Description
|
"Even those who actually lived through a particular historical period will have different perspectives of what it meant - for them, for others like them, for those who were different to them and for their society as a whole."
Each member of your team will become an expert in one individual/family's experience during this time in Chinese history. Then you'll have to come back together to answer a question that gets to the heart of "what's the truth and who says so?''
Question: "How did Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution affect the lives of ordinary Chinese - at home and abroad?"
