Cultural Revolution: Burning of a Confucius plaque

Cultural Revolution saw the most thorough and fierce destruction of the Chinese heritage ever. Anything old was destroyed. All traditional teachings were defined as ill. In the picture, a plaque honouring Confucius was being burnt. It is estimated that between 2 to 20 million people were either killed or tortured to suicide.
