During the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese government implemented political purges and encouraged citizens to engage in mass criticism and persecution of perceived enemies, leading to widespread violence and chaos; regular Chinese citizens were forced to participate in "struggle sessions" where they publicly denounced supposed counterrevolutionaries and endured physical and psychological abuse, while "scar literature" refers to the writings that emerged from this period that depicted the suffering and trauma experienced by individuals during the Cultural Revolution.
