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

I was born in the 1990s.

Interviewer: OK, 1990s – so of course you didn’t experience the Cultural Revolution.

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?

It must have been when I was in college.

Interviewer: Oh, when you were in college.

Yes.

Interviewer: So, through what channel did you hear about it?

It came up when some classmates and I were chatting.

Interviewer: Then the first time you heard about the Cultural Revolution, what was your reaction?

Just really curious. I’d never thought about it, and was curious to understand it.

Interviewer: Then later, did you find a way to learn more about it?

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.

Interviewer: Then from your current understanding, what was the Cultural Revolution?

I think the Cultural Revolution was a kind of…

Interviewer: What was it like? Because you didn’t experience it.

Right.

Interviewer: So, from speaking with friends, what is your current understanding of what the Cultural Revolution was all about?

I think that it amounts to a cultural…a conflict between two conflicting philosophies. Then…well, that’s it.

I really don’t have a good understanding of it because I couldn’t find any information about it.

Interviewer: Right now, do your work and studies have any relation to this [topic]?

No relation.

Interviewer: OK, thank you. Thank you for accepting this interview.
