In this photo taken Monday, May 2, 2016, an enormous statue of Mao Zedong looms over the No. 1 Tractor Factory in Luoyang in central China's Henan province. Fifty years after Mao unleashed the decade-long Cultural Revolution to reassert his authority and revive his radical communist agenda, the spirit of modern China's founder still exerts a powerful pull. Millions of people were persecuted, publicly humiliated, beaten or killed during the upheaval, as zealous factionalism metastasized countrywide, tearing apart Chinese society at a most basic level.
