Here are three audio/video interviews that were conducted in person in Cary and Chapel Hill of North Carolina. The interviewees are asked to discuss the experiences that left the deepest impressions on them—what they most want to share with the audience. At the interviewee's request, some of the videos have been replaced with a still photo obscuring the interviewee's identity.

The Revolution They Remember presents the Chinese Cultural Revolution era of 1966-1976 via the memories of those who experienced it and have reflected on its legacies. The Revolution They Remember is based on two video oral history projects: one by the EAL and the other by Dartmouth Library. Initiated by the EAL in 2015, The Cultural Revolution: 10 (CR/10) Project recorded, preserved, and published video interviews with Chinese citizens sharing their memories and impressions of China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.
The Revolution They Remember features selections from the interviews from these two projects, as well as images contributed by interview participants, archival footage, and photos. The film also comprises commentary by scholars of modern Chinese history.
