I haven't seen so much effort put into a set in years. This would decent if it wasn't so damn propogandistic. Of course the message is "communism hates science".

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

As a Chinese, this is probably the part I like the most about the Netflix version. The other changes aren’t good at all, but the Tencent version also filmed the CR part but ended up on the cutting floor due to the censorship. The director and the actors have said as much.
The Netflix CR scene is almost a 1:1 recreation of the book’s Chinese dialogue. At least Netflix didn’t add unnecessary lines which could be interpreted as blatant propaganda. Here, it’s just being faithful to the book.
The Cultural Revolution was a huge mess. Most people agree to that.
Im a chauvinist willing to justify anything
I started reading the first book a couple years ago when the netflix show was announced, more coincidence than anything. I did some research into this opening chapter because it seemed really ham fisted and I was wondering what was going on, as this is a Chinese book, from china.
I ended up seeing this opinion a lot, that yes, among actual Chinese people it is a shameful bit of an otherwise proud history and is used as a cautionary tale more than anything, aka learning from mistakes and improving the process.
idk if it's just me but that made me appreciate China more. In the west we're not able to admit we did anything bad. It takes some growth to say "okay maybe the public execution of professors was a bit overboard, we can do this better".
You either die Trotsky or be the icepick.
Yeah most economics professors deserve the
I am obviously too young to have experienced that, but I’ve seen “online discourse” saying that Liu was actually being restrained with his description about the CR scenes. I’ve heard from older generations that it was bloodier and messier than that.
I have friends whose parents and grandparents (intellectuals and academics) had been banished to the countryside during the CR. So the trauma is very real.
