Born Red is an artistically wrought personal account, written very much from inside the experience, of the years 1966-1969, when the author was a young teenager at middle school. It was in the middle schools that much of the fury of the Cultural Revolution and Red Guard movement was spent, and Gao was caught up in very dramatic events, which he recounts as he understood them at the time. Gao's father was a county political official who was in and out of trouble during those years, and the intense interplay between father and son and the differing perceptions and impact of the Cultural Revolution for the two generations provide both an unusual perspective and some extraordinary moving moments. He also makes deft use of traditional mythology and proverbial wisdom to link, sometimes ironically, past and present. Gao relates in vivid fashion how students-turned-Red Guards held mass rallies against 'capitalist roader' teachers and administrators, marching them through the streets to the accompaniment of chants and jeers and driving some of them to suicide. Eventually the students divided into two factions, and school and town became armed camps.

A Chronicle of the Cultural Revolution

Born Red

"Passions occupied a central place in Augustine's intellectual life, both in theory and in practice. How to free oneself from the passions relating to worldly matters and moving from egoistic desires (especially pride and the passion for domination) to the love of the divine life, became one of the main questions in Augustine's philosophical and theological tenets on emotions. This book presents the first systematic study of Augustine's conception of passions as well as his approach to salvation from their domination and the deification of passions. In addressing Augustine's developing views of the classical philosophy of emotions and his theological debate with heretics, Gao Yuan combines a critical evaluation of recent research with a rigorous philosophical analysis of the original Latin texts from the perspective of various research areas such as semantics, moral psychology, political philosophy, and theological anthropology, along with its three dimensions: soteriology, eschatology, and the doctrine of deification. The present book, grounded on the previous edition, makes a comprehensive contribution to the theoretical innovation of Augustine's doctrine of passions providing an ideal point of reference for the study of classical and medieval philosophy of emotions"--

This book presents the current state of Open Educational Resources (OER) within the countries covered by the China's Belt and Road Initiative. The authors describe eight aspects of OER development in their countries: infrastructure, policy, resources, open license, curriculum and teaching methodology, outcome, stakeholders and impact. This book also conducts a comparative study between those countries to identify the OER gaps in the Belt and Road countries. It then offers valuable insights and recommendations for several stakeholders, including policy makers and educators, wishing to integrate open educational resources into educational processes, as well as for those involved in inter-regional open educational resources cooperation.
