Interviewer: Hello. Thank you for accepting my interview.
Could you please tell me the decade of your birth, such as “1970s,”
“1980s,” “1990s”?

2
00:00:08.540 --> 00:00:10.180  align:center  line:-1
I was born in the 1990s.

3
00:00:10.190 --> 00:00:15.560  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: OK, 1990s – so of course you didn’t
experience the Cultural Revolution.

4
00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:22.190  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: Could you tell me, as far as you can remember
when was the first time you heard of the historical incident, the Cultural
Revolution? Approximately when was it?

5
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:24.790  align:center  line:-1
It must have been when I was in college.

6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:25.990  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: Oh, when you were in college.

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:26.390  align:center  line:-1
Yes.

8
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:28.990  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: So, through what channel did you hear about
it?

9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.850  align:center  line:-1
It came up when some classmates and I were chatting.

10
00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:39.890  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: Then the first time you heard about the
Cultural Revolution, what was your reaction?

11
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:47.670  align:center  line:-1
Just really curious. I’d never thought about it, and was
curious to understand it.

12
00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:51.990  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: Then later, did you find a way to learn more
about it?

13
00:00:52.000 --> 00:01:00.390  align:center  line:-1
No, it was completely through conversations with friends
and discussing it. It was all through what they said -- since you can’t
find it through [online] searches.

14
00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:04.590  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: Then from your current understanding, what
was the Cultural Revolution?

15
00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:09.090  align:center  line:-1
I think the Cultural Revolution was a kind of…

16
00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:11.840  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: What was it like? Because you didn’t
experience it.

17
00:01:11.850 --> 00:01:12.690  align:center  line:-1
Right.

18
00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:18.690  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: So, from speaking with friends, what is your
current understanding of what the Cultural Revolution was all about?

19
00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:31.910  align:center  line:-1
I think that it amounts to a cultural…a conflict between
two conflicting philosophies. Then…well, that’s it.

20
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.590  align:center  line:-1
I really don’t have a good understanding of it because I
couldn’t find any information about it.

21
00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:38.560  align:center  line:-1
Interviewer: Right now, do your work and studies have any
relation to this [topic]?

22
00:01:38.570 --> 00:01:39.760  align:center  line:-1
No relation.

23
00:01:39.770 --> 00:01:43.567  align:center  line:-1

interview.
