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.

文化大革命发生于二十世纪的中国，曾在中国历史上起着重要的作用。一些人认为它是中国发展的一个必要的困难阶段，而另一些人则认为它完全起着阻碍作用。在我看来，我同意后者的观点根据无产阶级文化大革命带来了的后果，它对教育领域产生了危害，阻碍了经济的发展和引起了社会冲突。

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，它对教育领域是有害的。文化大革命期间，教科书被迫上交，一些老师也受到了惩罚。出于这个原因，当时学校的老师变得有越来越少。因此，学校缺乏教师和书。所以，学生的教育完全受到这场革命的影响。此外，一些人，像那些知识渊博的教师，被送往一些贫困地区做劳动。换句话说，这是在浪费教育资源。

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，它阻碍了中国经济的发展。当时，政府的能源是非常有限的。在他们忙着搞文化大革命的时候，他们没有时间来发展经济。此外，由于文化大革命的影响，许多工厂都关门了。这肯定经济会停止或滞后。最后但并非最不重要的是，它使社会出现了更多的冲突。很明显，在在革命期间中国是一团糟。每个人都怕被无缘无故批斗而且政府本身也出现了诸多矛盾。在那时出现了很多内部矛盾。

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. 

总之，无产阶级文化大革命为整个中国带来很多不良影响，如在教育方面，中国经济的发展以及社会冲突，所以我认为文化大革命是不应该发生的，因为这是没有必要的。
