I have a good friend from China, age 67, who has been here since 1982. Her father was doctor to Deng Xiaoping from when they were hiding in the mountains during the revolution. She had a somewhat privileged upbringing, and part of that was a girl's group of "Red Guard" students. On a regular basis, they would go out at night, find a nice house, break in, and drag the occupants out into the street for "re-education". She is still haunted by memories of her group dragging a single old woman into the street and berating her. That old woman subsequently died.
