The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution happened in China in the 20th century, which had a great effect on Chinese history. Some people think that it was a necessary difficult stage in China’s development, while others think it was solely a hindrance. In my opinion, I agree with the latter idea according to the consequence of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution brought about that did harm to the education area, hinder the economy and created social conflicts.

文化大革命發生于二十世紀的中國，曾在中國歷史上起著重要的作用。一些人認為它是中國發展的一個必要的困難階段，而另一些人則認為它完全起著阻礙作用。在我看來，我同意后者的觀點根據無產階級文化大革命帶來了的后果，它對教育領域產生了危害，阻礙了經濟的發展和引起了社會沖突。

First of all, it was harmful to the education area. During the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, textbooks were forced to hand in at first and then some teachers were punished. For that reason, the school at that time had fewer and fewer teachers. As a result, schools were lack of books and teachers. Therefore, the education for students was totally affected by that revolution. In addition, some people, like teachers who were full of knowledge, were sent to some poor area to do labor work. In other words, it’s a means of wasting education resources.

首先，它對教育領域是有害的。文化大革命期間，教科書被迫上交，一些老師也受到了懲罰。出于這個原因，當時學校的老師變得有越來越少。因此，學校缺乏教師和書。所以，學生的教育完全受到這場革命的影響。此外，一些人，像那些知識淵博的教師，被送往一些貧困地區做勞動。換句話說，這是在浪費教育資源。

Secondly, it hindered the development of Chinese economy. At that time, government’s energy was extremely limited. When they were busy with the Cultural Revolution, they didn’t have enough time to develop economy. Besides, with the influence of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, many factories were closed. It’s certain that the economy was stopped or drew back. The last but not least is that it made the society appear more conflicts. It’s obvious that during the revolution China was totally a mess. Every person was afraid of being scolded by no reason and the government itself also had appeared many conflicts. Many inner contradictions appeared at that moment.

其次，它阻礙了中國經濟的發展。當時，政府的能源是非常有限的。在他們忙著搞文化大革命的時候，他們沒有時間來發展經濟。此外，由于文化大革命的影響，許多工廠都關門了。這肯定經濟會停止或滯后。最后但并非最不重要的是，它使社會出現了更多的沖突。很明顯，在在革命期間中國是一團糟。每個人都怕被無緣無故批斗而且政府本身也出現了諸多矛盾。在那時出現了很多內部矛盾。

In general, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution had so many bad effects on the whole China, like on the education area, Chinese economy development and social conflicts, so I think the Cultural Revolution should not happen, because it’s not necessary. 

總之，無產階級文化大革命為整個中國帶來很多不良影響，如在教育方面，中國經濟的發展以及社會沖突，所以我認為文化大革命是不應該發生的，因為這是沒有必要的。
