Answer 1

During the Cultural Revolution in China (1966-1976), many of the country's brightest individuals, including intellectuals, professionals, and students, were sent to **reeducation camps** or **labor camps**. These camps were intended to "reeducate" individuals through hard labor and ideological indoctrination, in line with the goals of the Cultural Revolution to eliminate perceived bourgeois elements and promote socialist values. The movement was aimed at transforming society by targeting those deemed to have counter-revolutionary thoughts or associations.
