Gong Xiaoxia recalls the blank expression on the man’s face as he was beaten to death by a Chinese mob.
“I remember him so vividly, he really had no expression on his face,” Gong said. “After about 10 or 20 minutes, God knows how long, someone took out a knife and hit him right into the heart.”
He was then strung on a pole and left dangling and rotting for two months.
“I think the most terrible thing, when I recall that period, the most terrible thing that struck me was our indifference,” said Gong, today a 38-year-old graduate student at Harvard researching her own history.
That terrible period was China’s 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution. The blinding indifference was in the name of Chairman Mao Tse-tung and the Communist Party.
It is now believed that as many as 60 million to 80 million people may have died because of Mao’s policies--making him responsible for more deaths than Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin combined.
Don't worry folks, according to the left here, Donald Trump was far worse.
