Beginning with the Red August of Beijing, massacres took place nationwide, including the Guangxi Massacre, in which massive cannibalism also occurred the Inner Mongolia incident the Guangdong Massacre the Yunnan Massacres and the Hunan Massacres. Death toll claims vary widely, with estimates of those perishing during the Revolution ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. The Cultural Revolution was characterized by violence and chaos. In 1972, the Gang of Four rose to power and the Cultural Revolution continued until Mao's death and the arrest of the Gang of Four in 1976. Mao declared the Revolution over in 1969, but the Revolution's active phase would last until at least 1971, when Lin Biao, accused of a botched coup against Mao, fled and died in a plane crash. The committees often split into rival factions and became involved in armed fights known as " violent struggles", to which the army had to be sent to restore order. They held " denunciation rallies" against revisionists regularly, and grabbed power from local governments and CPC branches, eventually establishing the revolutionary committees in 1967.
A selection of Mao's sayings were compiled into the Little Red Book, which became a sacred text for Mao's personality cult. The youth responded by forming Red Guards and "rebel groups" around the country. Mao called on young people to " bombard the headquarters", and proclaimed that "to rebel is justified". Launching the movement in May 1966 with the help of the Cultural Revolution Group, Mao charged that bourgeois elements had infiltrated the government and society with the aim of restoring capitalism. However, the Revolution failed to achieve its main goals. The Revolution marked the return of Mao, who was Chairman of the Communist Party of China (CPC), to the central position of power after a period of less radical leadership to recover from the failures of the Great Leap Forward, which caused the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961). Its stated goal was to preserve Chinese communism by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society, and to re-impose Mao Zedong Thought as the dominant ideology in the PRC. The Cultural Revolution, formally known as the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in the People's Republic of China (PRC) launched by Mao Zedong in 1966, and lasting until his death in 1976.
