I'm a Chinese history major. This is accurate information.

Someone should make a film about Mao and his leadership during The Cultural Revolution.

quite informative, though he has an awful pronunciation when it comes to Chinese terms - sometimes it's a bit over the top (like Deng Pufang himself said he jumped out of a window.. so it is not known whether he was chased, pushed or jumped himself really)
Nevertheless it's an interesting talk

The speakers is providing accurate and wide range informations, BUT his pronunciation of chinese names is soooo bad, like he has never learned chinese language. Which is hard to believe considering the good historical lecture he is providing (much better than many popular history programs or tv series)

My mind flashed back to the Cultural Revolution, when a group of Red Guards pulled our neighbor, Granny Li, out of the opera company’s dormitory block and ordered the rest of us to bring out our thermos flasks. We then had to stand and watch as the Red Guards poured ten flasks of boiling water over Granny Li’s head.
