Answer 1

A struggle session was a form of public humiliation and interrogation used during the Cultural Revolution in China, in which individuals deemed as enemies of the Communist Party were subjected to verbal and physical abuse by a mob of people. The aim of a struggle session was to force the individual to confess their alleged political crimes and show their loyalty to the party. These sessions often led to severe physical and psychological trauma, and in some cases, even death or suicide.
