With Junju's son
The Red Guards (during the Cultural Revolution) had no respect for Confucius. They damaged a number of monuments. The tomb of Confucius and the graves of his descendants are in a lovely cemetery nearby. The guide told us that Red Guards also desecrated the cemetery, digging up some bodies and hanging them from trees.
