Xi Jinping

During the cultural revolution Xi Jinping was sent to a juvenile detention center for a group fighting in the street. During this time Xi Jinping was a marginalized member of society with no one to turn to and no one to depend on. He was lice-infested and was not well mentally or physically. Xi Jinping's experience at the bottom was similar to that of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng who was sent to Zhao as a hostage suffering humiliation and hardship. He not only tasted the bitter fruits of the Party struggle but also dimly realized the philosophy of the Party struggle -- the loser is the prisoner the winner is the emperor -- such a political philosophy began to germinate in his mind and eventually developed into his thicket of political struggle.
