Land reform, where estates had been taken from rich landowners and redistributed to the peasants had taken place shortly after the communists had come to power.
Collectivisation, where peasants lost their own pieces of land and instead worked for wages on land owned by the state had also begun to take place.
Mao believed this was not enough to expand both agricultural and industrial production and instead introduced the second five-year plan in 1958.
This would become known as the ‘Great Leap Forward’.

My grandfather was in a landlord family at the time when the Land Reform took place. He and his family were beaten severely and sent to the city factory as workers, his house was confiscated. This cruelty they've done to him actually saved his life, as during the Great Leap Forward, city workers were fed well at the price of starvation in the countryside. 20 years later when the Cultural Revolution ended, he returned to the countryside and saw the old house emptied. The farmers who took his house all starved to death years ago. We refused to live in that house and left it emptied, until two years ago my father sold that house to the government as they wanted to construct a road over it.

In this period Deng Xiaoping corrected a large part of Mao's mistakes and restored operation of the country to some extent. Grandpa's property was returned at about 1980, due to the government finding out most of his "crime records" were forged by farmers who held a hostile attitude towards land lord families.

Quite a part of content in this video are mentioned, but they didn't say how many people were killed and they insist that the main cause of the starvation is land drought / other natural disasters.

I recently started to read the book Tombstone by Chinese author Yang Jisheng. The book dissects the causes and effects of the Great Famine in detail - his thesis was that it was an entirely man-made disaster. I couldn't even get through the first chapter - it gave me an existential crisis and a horrible depressive episode lasting days. It will completely destroy your faith in humanity, to witness the greed, cowardice and cover-ups resulting in the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people for absolutely nothing. No benefit to anyone. And they are not even allowed to have a tombstone to remember them (which explains the title of the book - this is the tombstone). I found the complete inhumanity in the book terrifying. It wasn't foreign invasions, it wasn't aliens, it wasn't the universe ending - it was the complete indifference to the suffering of one's fellow humans that led to this disaster unprecedented in human history, which could have been prevented if the responsible parties even had one shred of human decency. It saddens me that this topic is still twisted and censored in China, so that few people know the truth of what happened or dare to speak if they knew. And too few outside China know or care. The era in China under Mao deeply scarred the population and it's a scar that will be carried by generations. I hope one day the truth will come to light before this period of history is forgotten.

@rebecca4680 4 года назад

China had repeated droughts and famines throughout the 1800s, so they were pretty used to starving. Great Leap Forward was probably the worst one, but definitely not the first.

@ithemba 4 года назад

Nearly every country had mass starvation during it's industrialization and the fencing in of formerly commonly accessable land. Combine that with the millions of people starving as direct consequence of colonial powers deliberate decisions. Millions starved in India, the middle east and China during the 1800s and 1900s. There even was a widespread theoretical groundwork to justify that kind of inhumanely cruel policy in the western, capitalist empires: the theory of overpopulation by Robert Malthus. Mass starvation as desired policy goal - instead of catastrophic byproduct of poor decisions.

story told by my father: His family were one of the wealthiest in the city during this period. They were living the best of their lives until the great leap happened. Land reform took all of his family's assets, leaving only one house for them to live in--my grandfather,grandmother, and 8 kids. My grandfather was drafted to the factory and my grandmother was drafted to the kitchen, being businessman, they had to learn everything from scratch. Food rations are given to them everyday. However, the given ration was not enough to feed the family, so they had to add water to their rice and make porridge. My grandmother, working in the kitchen, tries to sneak food everyday to give to her kids. This goes on until my grandparents died. Once my father's siblings are grown up, they are then sent to provinces far from home to work in factories. Thinking about this now, it pains my heart knowing my father has suffered so much during his childhood. From wealthy to poor in an instant with no parents to guide them during the day.

Something worth noting that wasn't mentioned in the video: Collectivization based on "satellite quotas"(放卫星), fictional harvest statistics that were blown out of proportion exponentially, were enforced by Mao and local officials. As a result, a significant portion of the 45 million deaths were beaten or torture to death in "anti-production-hiding" campaigns (反瞒产), which forced peasants into admitting to harvests that did not exist through violence. Those who survived the beatings and tortures were starved to death later because collectivization based on such quotas took even the last seeds away from them.

If actual outcomes ≠ theorized outcome, then execute "that wasn't real socialism/communism" Promote socialism/communism Enact socialism/communism Repeat

Well... it isn’t. Communism wouldn’t work but it has never been tried, unless you count Makhnovia

@@fireiron369 Makhnovia and Anarchist Catalonia were much closer to Communism than any authoritarian dictatorship that labeled itself as "Communist", guess what happened when the farms were collectivised in Catalonia, production went up 50%, only difference was that the collectivisation was voluntary and not forced. Also Rojava and the Zapatistas are having a pretty good time with their stateless anarchist systems.

Ya know, this is actually something that would have happened and HAS HAPPENED in communist states all the time when those were still commonplace(now days theres only a a mere handful of those dreadful communist hellholes left like north korea and china and cuba - and maybe some other ones but those are the only REAL ones left that are genocidal antiHUMAN EVIL states - which is what communism is). Same wiht Jake 202. That sounds REAL from all ive read about the communist scourge in various countries over the years.....people who arent aware of history may think its far fetched or not true but that sort of thing was actually extremely common. Che Guevera for instance took GREAT PLEASURE in watching "prisoners"(non-communists) rounded up, given mock show trials(quickly of course), then brought to the execution ground which he ordered be made DIRECTLY OUTSIDE HIS WINDOW SO HE COULD "ENJOY" WATCHING THESE POOR PATRIOTIC MEN GET SHOT IN THE HEAD BY HIS MURDERERS AND THUGS. And yeah thats actually for real, look it up if you have any doubts. Far leftists are DISGUSTING creatures DISGUSTING and EVIL and NEED TO BE OPPOSED ALWAYS.
