(FILES) This file photo taken on August 18, 1966 shows Chinese leader Mao Zedong reviewing for the first time the armed forces of the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" at the Tiananmen Gate rostrum. Launched by Mao in 1966 to topple his political enemies after the failure of the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution saw a decade of violence and destruction nationwide as party-led class conflict devolved into social chaos. / AFP PHOTO / STF
