The Cultural Revolution was an upheaval which began in August of 1966 by Chinese Chairman [[Mao Zedong]]. He began this revolution in his last ten years of power because he feared that [[China]] would become like the [[Soviet Union]] and that he might have a bad, if any, place in history. Like [[Job]], he feared that "my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good." (Job 7:7)

His objective was to cause a cultural revolution that would replace leaders with people who would think like him and be supportive of him as Chairmen, make the [[Chinese Communist Party]] function the way he wanted, give the Chinese youth a revolutionary experience, and make changes so that education, health care, and cultural systems would be for the entirety of China and not just for the elite. Like [[Solomon]], Mao asked for "an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?" (I Kings 3:9)
