      The Cultural Revolution kicked off on May 16, 1966, with an editorial in the People’s Daily urging people to “sweep away all the old monsters and demons”pic.twitter.com/iUbj9jEER2

      These were defined as broadly as landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries, right-wingers & anybody who had not thoroughly transformed themselves.

      Groups of students at schools and universities appointed themselves as Red Guards. Many of them were as young as 13 years old. You can read about what they did herehttps://quillette.com/2018/12/18/the-children-of-the-revolution/ …

      A 1971 report from the NYT describes how sweeping the destruction of the “four olds” had been (Old Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits, Old Ideas). E.g. It was common for Chinese homes to have altars to ancestors. Red Guards entered homes & destroyed themhttps://www.nytimes.com/1971/05/19/archives/china-transformed-by-elimination-of-four-olds.html …

      Through the Cultural Revolution Mao Zedong consolidated his power in the Chinese Communist Party. He used the students to purge his enemies *within* the party, making sure that whoever was left was loyal to him.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/11/the-cultural-revolution-50-years-on-all-you-need-to-know-about-chinas-political-convulsion …

          What does it mean exactly? What’s the significance of the Great Wall in this context?

          Basically just a poetic way of saying "Don't quit until you've fully accomplished your goal".
