Lu Xun once wrote: "Revolution is a bitter thing, mixed with filth and blood, not as lovely or perfect as the poets think. It is eminently down to earth, involving many humble, tiresome tasks, not so romantic as the poets think... .

Dear friends: Hello! I am a farmer and worker from the bottom of China. Facing the authoritarian and authoritarian Chinese model, it challenges the constitutional and democratic systems of the world. Democratic countries around the world must have a deep understanding of and understand one fact: since the CCP came into power in 1949, hundreds of millions of Chinese farmers have worked hard to pay public grain, agricultural taxes, free construction of water conservancy projects, which provided the CCP with financial primitive accumulation at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Under the family planning policy, Chinese farmers were forced to abort, tie the ring, and pay fines for excess births, Farmers are restricted by the household registration system in rural areas and cannot freely move their population, living a life without human rights and welfare like slaves. During the three-year Great Famine from 1959 to 1961, it is conservatively estimated that 40 million people starved to death, the vast majority of whom were rural residents. After China's reform and opening up in 1980, the vast majority of farmers entered cities to work as red sweatshop workers, construction workers, and environmental sanitation workers, working the most tiring and dirty jobs with the lowest meager wages. They were unable to enjoy the benefits and benefits of urban household registration such as housing, medical care, elderly care, and education. Due to China's household registration system, the children of Chinese farmers and workers can only stay in the rural areas where their household registration is located to receive education, This has led to the world's largest tragic situation of left behind children and elderly people living alone in rural areas in China. Today, China is the second largest economy in the world, but the farmers and workers who sacrificed the most get negative welfare treatment, while civil servants and senior officials of the CCP government enjoy privileged and high welfare treatment. The Chinese government utilizes the advantages of low human rights and cheap labor to attract a large amount of international financial capital investment, making China the world's largest red sweatshop. The low prices of products produced in China are due to the fact that Chinese farmers and workers work overtime for extended periods of time with only meager wages. Most importantly, China does not have independent trade unions outside the government to fight for fair welfare benefits for farmers and workers. To change the current situation of unfair competition in the global trade market by the Chinese government using this low human rights "advantage", democratic countries around the world have the responsibility to urge and pressure the Chinese government to demand an increase in the human rights and welfare protection of the majority of bottom Chinese people. The trade sanctions of the United States and the anti-dumping measures of the European Union cannot solve the trade deficit problem at all. Only by improving the human rights and welfare benefits of the majority of Chinese grassroots farmers and workers can the economic interests and labor welfare of democratic countries around the world not be harmed (such as the policy of reducing welfare benefits proposed by the left-wing in the United States). If the human rights and welfare standards of Chinese farmers and workers cannot gradually match those of workers in democratic countries, then the human rights and welfare standards of workers in democratic countries can only gradually match those of Chinese farmers and workers. Therefore, democratic countries around the world have the responsibility to help all Chinese farmers and workers at the bottom of the human rights voice to comprehensively exert pressure on the Chinese government, instead of turning a blind eye to implement the appeasement policy, nor can they just emphasize Xinjiang, Tibet The human rights situation in Kong and among dissenters can only be maintained by improving the human rights and welfare protection of the majority of lower class Chinese people in order to maintain fair competition in the global trade market. Only by constantly putting forward human rights and welfare accountability to the CCP government, demanding the establishment of free and independent trade unions and farmers' associations, forcing financial disclosure and budget transparency, will China gradually embark on the path of constitutional democracy. A democratized China is indispensable for the stability and peace of the world, and it is also a responsibility that the whole world cannot evade, because we are all citizens of the Earth. I hope that wise people from all over the world can work together to make democracy and constitutionalism overcome authoritarianism, good currency overcome bad currency, civilizatiovercome barbarism, and make this world a better place.

"at the time less corrupt" quoted, Nationlists depleted resources in the war with the Jappanese and still chose to engage in another war was unwise. With the Soviet's secret supplies, the force situation was soon reversed. Soon, the civil war led to the hyperinflation, and its aftermath was the Nationalists' failure.

因为中国大陆参与了朝鲜战争，所以中国大陆遭到了欧美国家长达几十年的经济封锁，再加上新生人口过多又碰到了自然灾害，当时的民众和底层官员基础素质也不够，综合几方面原因才造成了当时中国粮食短缺问题。 事实就是毛泽东时期是中国人口增长最快的时期，作为敌对方，台湾国民党和欧美主流媒体肯定会放大中国共产党的任何灾难，以此来达到反共宣传和激化中国大陆内部的矛盾的目的。 十年文化大革命，的确打击了中国的封建残余势力和被国民党和西方国家诱惑收买的个人和团体等不稳定因素，重新统一了全中国的思想，让中国成为一个全新的国家，为接下来的改革开放大发展铺平了道路。 毛泽东是一个坚定的共产主义和民族主义奉献者，在他艰难的革命斗争中，他的家族被国民党灭绝，他的第三任妻子因为长征和战争变成了精神病患者，他最喜爱的儿子战死在朝鲜战场上。 他死后成了共产党执政初期所有过错的承担者。 你不能以现代人的眼光看待当时那个贫穷落后人吃人的社会，中国共产不打地主，就会在全国各地多饿死些人，多些为了生存而选择当土匪强盗破坏社会治安稳定的人。 不把拖累社会发展的封建顽固毒瘤去除，国家就很难升级发展。

Are you kidding? This doc did not even point out the most obvious - the very name Great Leap Forward says loud and clear China was in a bad spot. One reason for that was the perceived nuclear threat from US. Chinese were not stupid, they knew crazy hawks in US at one time had a plan to wipe out 300 million Chinese and China had nothing to hit back. Thus a Chinese official coined a well known phrase "We must have the bomb, even if we have to go naked.". To pay for the bomb program, China had to export grains, unwittingly contributing to the famine. As for the Cultural revolution, this doc demonstrated the blatant Western double standards. Granted both Cultural revolution and French revolution were utterly brutal. But a revolution in the West is noble, but a revolution in China is senseless and evil? The Chinese were a bunch of mindless sheep falling for Mao's wish on a whim?

I wonder if the famine during the Great Leap Forward is connected to increased need for grains for animal feed as western capitalistic animal food providers began to be introduced into China? Certainly, as is documented in Dr. T. Colin Campbell's groundbreaking book "The China Study," the increased meat consumption contributed to a fast decline in overall health in the Chinese population. Perhaps it contributed to an unexpected shift in agricultural needs too.

To prove this point, I studied historical data on the incidence of mental illness in the United States, and the relatively high incidence of mental illness among young people, especially millennials, confirmed the correctness of this viewpoint. What worries me is, children enter the world of internet before their minds are mature, and this world is filled with various ideas.

Mao Zedong was an administrator in the library of Peking University. He tried to discuss with the famous intellectuals at the time, but those intellectuals ignored him. The reason is that Mao Zedong's education is low. It is only equivalent to middle school level, and he has never studied in a Western country. His Hunan dialect is difficult for northerners to understand. I think Mao Zedong's dignity was hurt, which made him extremely hostile to high-level intellectuals.

If you implement liberal capitalist "democracy" in a colonized pre-industrial country, where 99% people are illiterate and have no concept of modern civilization, the only thing you would get is warlordism and barbaric exploitation of the chaos that ensues. That is exactly what happened to China between 1910s to 1940s, with imperialist powers, most notably Japan, exploiting the absolute chaos and deprivation of the country, bringing the entire nation to its knees. Mao's solution was echoed by millions across the country, so say what you want about him, he was the leader who led hundreds of millions of people out of absolute misery and darkness.

Thank you for this video. I have actually been to China and still today, you will see statues and pictures of him everywhere, even on the dashboards of their cars. He is a hero in the eyes of Chinese people for there is much resentment of past mistreatment of China by "the West." I think in their eyes he is the first one to stand up to them and stand up for the Chinese people and I can't dispute some of these grievances. Nobody really explained to me why they think he was so great, as politics is a taboo topic in China, but I gathered little tidbits here and there. One elder lady told me "You declare war on us!" referring of course to the war in Korea. Obviously, I wasn't alive at the time, and all I could do was kindly assure her I don't want any war with China and I hope we can be friends. The propaganda about the role of the Communist Party during WWII and the cultural revolution floods the movies and even TV series still today. As for Mao, I think George Washington was better than this man, but I don't see him as a monster, either. I often hear him listed as a mass murder among Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot, but I don't think this "Great Leap Forward" was intentional, nor malicious- just very poorly planned. The cultural revolution is a different story, and I didn't know people were killed in this time period.

That narcissistic view led to the purge of high ranking party officials such as Peng Dehuai who openly criticized him for the Great Leap Forward.
