This study utilizes China Judgments Online, a leading internet platform that hosts judicial decisions from courts nationwide, to create a unique database of judgment documents related with the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Our database includes over 1,900 judgment documents, including more than 600 cases that have been subsequently removed from the original website. It meticulously compiles information such as the identities of the parties involved, court details, case and document types, along with the complete texts of the documents. 

Building on this extensive and first-hand foundation, our study aims to develop a framework for cross-analysis that integrates both quantitative and qualitative methods. Through detailed examination of case data and judgment document texts, we seek to explore the memory and long-term impact of collective violence on ordinary individuals.
