Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From an interview with Jing Shenghong, an eminent Chinese historian, in China, in 2006.
Jing describes events at Nanjing University on 3 June 1966, where he had been a
student.
Several professors were criticised at first. Among them was Professor Lin from the
Philosophy department, Professor Hu from the Chinese Literature department and
Professor Su from the Foreign Language department. All these professors were in their
thirties. It was believed they were the masterminds of a poster campaign criticising the
authority of the Party. After criticising the professors, the students started to criticise
other groups. That was the first time I participated in such a session. If someone was 5
selected as a target, all others were mobilised to attack him. The attackers always used
the thinking, logic and language of ‘class struggle’. Your daily performance was assessed
according to the revolutionary standard. Even some very private conversations were
exposed by people you thought were friends, which made you feel vulnerable in public.
When I saw the targets being criticised on stage, some of them even being beaten by the 10
students, I became afraid.
