Features: Here, when recalling the history of the "Cultural Revolution," I did not intend to express my unpleasant feelings, nor did I intend to boast about myself or defend myself. I believe a person's merits and faults should not be spoken of by themselves but should be judged by history. At the same time, here, I did not intend to praise or criticize anyone, as I believe that is not my duty. Here, I only describe the history based on my personal experiences, observations, and feelings. Of course, as mentioned earlier, due to my situation during the "Cultural Revolution," I was unable to leave written records. Most of what is written here relies on memory, and there may be discrepancies in the timeline or some minor details. I hope those who are familiar with the situation can understand. Additionally, it should be noted that, for various reasons, I have tried to avoid mentioning names in the text, especially using XXX to represent those who harmed me during the "Cultural Revolution." I hope this can be understood.
