Red Scarf Girl


The book I am reading is the Red Scarf Girl by Ji-Li Jiang. This book is mainly about the Chinese Cultural Revolution which took place during the 1966 in Central China. In the story the main character which is Ji-Li talks about how perfect her life was and how she had everything in her life that is until the Communism started in China also known as the Cultural Revolution. Then it started getting bad there where red guards everywhere watching your every move they would also check your houses for any items that were Forolds( which were old things or old custom's) people where pressed charges for rebellion.
?Research Question
Why did leader Mao Ze-dong influence and lead the Chinese Cultural Revolution and how did the people react?

I like your question, but I think your paper would be more of a biography on Mao instead of about the Revolution, and how it affected the country.
