Not all revolution stands for justice. To me, revolutions are just the process to replace a tyrant with another tyrant. Only to benefit, people fight. Undoubtedly, revolution will at first start for a noble reason and the “leader” and “guide” of the revolution can work with people seeking for the same goal. The goal is surely to overthrow the present government which has brought people too much suffering. Always, this small group of people use the naiveness people who believe the new government will be better and even the process of revolution itself will be enjoyable. As a result of that, thousands of people were called up to fight and even to sacrify themselves to the revolution. However, people sometimes hold no idea of what is the reason they fight this battle, and they just hope for a new life- may be better or may be worse. When one kind of life has been felt boring, people just overthrow the leader now. Such an irony it is that people fight with each other just because they merely get bored about the life they have right now and they can pay blood to have it changed. The new leader will at first be with his people, but just for a moment. Later, the leader became more greedy and progressively away from the people. The further the leader has left the people the less he will know what do his people need. Little by little, the new leader just forget what it was like to be one that once protested and fight. By this time, the new tyrant come up.
That was what was like in China at that time. The revolution revealed the darkest part of human- the most basic desire. Students were no more restraint by disciplines and they used decent reasons to capture their teachers; citizens were no more just citizens. Anything dealt with culture was burn-books, sculptures, historical files and even science. People were just envy of those who had skills to support themselves without needs to suffer hunger and coldness. All these envyness are summoned with the speak of our president.
