Nightmares of the Cultural Revolution

This year is the Chinese Year of the Rabbit. The spring festival began on January 22, and in Chinese culture the rabbit represents the Moon. Some say it is because the shadows in the moon resemble the animal, but it also reflects its characteristics. The rabbit’s quiet personality hides its confidence and strength: it is moving, steadily moving, towards its goal, whatever the obstacles. Some also say that it lives in fear all the time, finds it difficult to open up to others and often turns to escapism.
