Throughout history china remains to be a mystery as such. The Cultural Revolution which erupted in China was not a frontier. It was Mao Tse Tung the late leader of China's Communist Party who coincidently was being in a proletariat revolution rather than anything else. It should be remembered here that China is an Eastern Society. And throughout its history peasants played a very significant role in such a mysterious political entity of China. Therefore dependence on the peasantry which is almost the majority of Chinese population here does give the impression that such a fall of politics is a logical human affair here. And the longevity of its history is approved of such a claim.

There is a massive political and economical literature dealing with why and for what and by what and how this cultural revolution of the proletariat of China went through? Yet nobody gave a satisfactory answer here. For the question was left wide open for mere speculation even the Chinese were not able to give a satisfactory answer for whatever has erupted. But it was above all could be noted as a power struggle engulfing both the Communist Party of China and the whole country and remarkably it was full of instabilities for the whole system as such. In a direct sense it was a struggle of Chinese literature culminating in the highest degree of literally production among those of Communist member and close friends of Mao Tse Tung who was a triumphant literally man of Chinese history called Yao Wen Yuan. Yao Wen Yuan was a personality camouflaged with Chinese historical narration but the basic writing rotated around the question. For he claimed that throughout Chinese history only one question remains to be doubtful very satisfactory here and he throttled around the fact of how to gain political power in the system.

There were two non-entity personalities in political affairs in China. The first was Wang who became the first chairman or rather who became the first President of China as such the second one was the mayor of Shanghai. There were these two carefully selected by Mao himself personally and the other one by the former foreign minister at that time Choun En Lai himself. While Mao Tse Tung retained the chairmanship of China and Choun En Lai remained to be a powerful foreign policy personnel. Choun En Lai took care of external relations of China while Mao remained a powerful personality in the internal side.

Choun En Lai was a master of world diplomacy while Choun En Lai remained to be a mayor of diplomacy of the world and Mao Tse Tung had to manage the internal wrangling affairs of both the Communist Party in China internally and the military bloc for this matter he moved very carefully by appointing somebody who is not known at all in China or the outside world called Lin Piao to be the head of China's military in totality. But yet China still remained to be a continent by its own and Mao who was very careful and intelligent in moving around at ease here for China was basically and still meant to be a peasant enclave and the coining of the name cultural revolution as a label did further its aims tremendously and he led China directly into a combination of two factors. The first one was the peasant of China. The second one was dependence of the Chinese Communist Party. From the last population of China were basically students at university and several academic institutions. And all these two elements of Chinese political society helped Mao Tse Tung and Choun En Lai very much. China was in turmoil for revolution with the talk of everybody. Whether party or no party, all together at the same time Choun En Lai and Mao moved carefully in Chinese population by closing all of China and separating it from all foreigners in the world. Their plans seem to be workable to a large extent at the same time or rather meanwhile the party as such moved into three direction.

Firstly the military secondly the workers and thirdly is the peasant and the parties directed by Mao Tse Tung himself personally but then there was another one who herself who had became known as the Choun En of China means one who was the president of China and the mayor of Shanghai and other places what he wants and now the frustration was Mao Tse Tung that time. While who escort Chiang Ching she was previously an actress of movies. And attractive at that time when Mao married her. She became a worthy person. Then political friction started to surface among these personalities. At the same time there were serious defections here for Lin Piao tried to escape to the Soviet Union at that time but he was killed in the process. Now the question of why the culture revolution erupted became clearer here. For Lin Piao could easily escape to Pakistan or India which were closer to China than Moscow itself. He chose Moscow for understandable reasons here. At the same time China was drifting towards a major up heaven that is noticeable to outside world.

For at one particular moment in Chinese history Beijing the capital of China witnessed the emergence of eleven million students from all over China to come to the capital. Between 1957 and 1958 the Chinese government was bankrupt. The state as such was completely bankrupt it had no revenues whatsoever. The reason was due for the facts that the Soviet Union had demanded from China to pay all the loan financially granted China since 1949 it was independent. The amount went into billions of dollars the Chinese Government under Mao Tse Tung paid all its financial loans and for all the way till the last that was required of it financially but the state was literally bankrupt. The decision came in the party from Mao Tse Tung himself and China paid every single dollar back to Soviet Union. But within a short period, particular the Sino-Soviet conflict came to the service but it was a very hard decision to take. Mao Tse Tung personally he thought China must rebuild itself independent on itself with no need of help from anybody else. And this created among other things a trouble of power within the Communist Party of China itself. It should be remembered that manpower production internally is very high in China and moreover the resources are abundant beyond any further thinking for the issue here.

China accomplished under the leadership of Mao Tse Tung embarked upon a very difficult and painful road to rebuild itself as a major state in the world. And that cost it a lot of financial requirement. As such also they remembered that China was a center of bloc called at that time as the Third World. For China what was important strategically in the globe at the same time it was very rich. China's attention was paid to the Third World. China emphasis was heavy on the African continent. For all African continent in the world was its Seabed here. The second priority was given to the States all the all the moment in Latin America and within this realm competition with the Soviet Union was very hard. But China did its best. It offered the assistance in many few aid but it should be remembered here that China it's built advanced technologically. But China and its long history as a Communist Party kept a very appreciable eye to the United States of America and they were appreciated very much with Mao Tse Tung himself. And in one direction this power struggle within the Communist Party of China Mao was at this time the supreme in power in foreign relation around the world. But then the question remains at that time whether China or the Communist Party was able to fulfill this task of rebuilding China instead on a very serious and recognizable route of a human development at large or not? Mao Tse Tung searched in the affirmative for a single reason depending on the Masses is the power that must not be neglected.

Over a choice like this by Mao Tse Tung did exactly what Chinese did in the very tender content at the same time of China at that time was very logical. But the same time Mao Tse Tung had to move to find himself obliged to move personally within the Communist Party power struggle because he had come to an age whereby he should depart from the light. And everybody thought especially in the west that his wife Chiang Ching would be the successor but the day after Mao died, Chiang Ching was imprisoned. So were the days before as such they were in prison and when the new generation took a new mean for China in a peaceful way and peaceful means.
