My grandfather was executed for the crime of having an advanced college education, which was considered unacceptably bourgeoisie in the cultural revolution because it meant he had an unfair advantage over the common workers, who were the real heroes of the revolution.

So of course my mom's employment Hukou file (a government-owned file that determined if and where you were allowed to work that is never shown to you) was marked "dissident" and she was banned from college and any major occupation.

And that's the era Xi thinks was China's golden age
