Senile old woman's fond recollections of the chinese cultural revolution (and her kickstarter) somehow don't appeal to chinese redditors.

That woman was a foreigner who took part in the chinese cultural revolution. Brags about her FBI file.

Somehow redditors with chinese ancestors who lived through the same events somehow beg to differ with her.

/u/XiangWenTian has a great series of comments (here's one), he was gilded several times :

Of course she suddenly feels "tired" after answering 10 questions (none of the most upvoted ones, of course).

At least this one wasn't populated by sock puppets, and it might legitimately be that she was tired (given her age), but it's a nice trainwreck : the AMA itself is highly upvoted, but any of her answers are at best controversial (mostly in the negatives).
