Chinese people demonstrate during the "great proletarian Cultural Revolution" in front of the French Embassy in Beijing on January 1967. Protesters show symbols of the Revolution such as the portrait of Mao Zedong, banners, and the book "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung." Since the Cultural Revolution was launched in May 1966 at Beijing University, Mao's aim was to recapture power after the failure of the "Great Leap Forward." Jean Vincent/AFP via Getty Images
