Mao's Great Famine | FULL DOCUMENTARY

- čas přidán 2. 02. 2024
- Between 1958 and 1962, China lived through tragedy on an epic scale. The “Great Leap Forward” - conceived by Mao so that China could drive industrial output ahead of Great Britain and achieve autonomy from the might of the neighbouring USSR - led to a catastrophic famine resulting in the death of between 36 and 55 million people.
“Three years of natural disasters”: it is in these terms that the Chinese Communist Party today justifies this terrible outcome. But the tragedy was masked by an official lie, because while China was starving to death, the grain stores were full.
Based on previously unheard testimony by survivors, rare archive footage, secret documents and interviews with the leading historians on this catastrophe, this film provides, for the first time, an insight into the folly of the “Great Leap Forward”. It examines the mechanisms and political decisions that led to famine, stripping away the incredible secrecy surrounding the campaign, and exposing the lie which continues even today as to who was responsible, and the true human cost.

Hitler is always described as the epitome of evil, but Stalin made Hitler look like a choirboy, and Mao made Stalin look like a Sunday school teacher.
The International Red Cross and various other countries offered food aid, but Mao and his communist thugs refused it.
Hitler was the byproduct of Prussian imperialism and its unchecked violence
Stalin and Mao are characters who wanted to be emperors, who really believed they were superior to others, and whose ideas should not be wrong
🤡🤡🤡
But for some strange reason the Australian painter is the most evil person that ever lived. Not Stalin or Mao who killed millions and millions more people. Why is that? What the Austrian painter did fits an agenda. Make of it what you will. Take Care ❤

Austrian painter.
Though there are some pretty bad Aussie painters.
What a great documentary. My grandparents died from the famine caused by "Great leap forward". My father survived since he was studying in a normal school with the food supplied by the government. He always regretted that he cannot take care of his parents. But if he was staying with his parents, he would also die.
I hope you are safe and happy here in the US. US/ Chinese history needs to be taught in US schools. Chinese people greatly added to the formation and success of the US. The first transcontinental railroad was mostly built by Chinese. They figured if Chinese could build the great wall, they can build a railroad... and they did.
Chinese people are industrious hardworking people ruled by tyrants. Always has been since the first emperor 221 B.C, and still is under the boots of CCP. There is no escape of it. The history always repeats itself with every dynasty.@@TheBandit7613
That sucks. I love to eat a big meal while I watch these documentaries.
@@povnw8985 What a classy remark.
@@TheBandit7613 Do you realize that was mostly the Western half of Transcontinental Railroad the Eastern half was mostly built by Freed Men and Irish immigrants? I might be missing a group here on the Eastern half and apologize. Also do you realize that they weren't all Chinese but were referred to at that time as Chinamen which just described anyone who had a certain look in America basically, so it could include people of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and even Korean ancestry. Most of the people who worked to build the transcontinental railroad were immigrants from China and Ireland. These immigrants faced discrimination in the U.S., but their labor made this national achievement possible.
I remember my Late father drumming it into my brother and myself , to eat all our food up, as Millions of people in China were starving , I never really appreciated why he said that , till now .
Me too. It actually seemed a bit silly as a kid. But this really is so serious and sad.
Yankee propaganda check it
Just before US invaded and NATO countries invaded Libya, ppl where told how evil tge Libyan leader Gaddafi was. Now, we all know that was not true. Libya under Gaddafi was rich and prosperous.
If you still believe in Western media, then there's no help for you.
@@marks7167 the demographics of china don't lie. there is a reason that the age group that relates to the years of famine is so much smaller than other age groups of china.
Remember: communism never worked, will not work in the future.
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities”
Always remember this. Think critically
Yup, its a famine due to lack of rain, but its Mao's fault? Mao stopped the rain?
Like right here in Amerika now that's absurd you could use a little self criticism your self
amazing to see chinese ppl defending the attrocities, so common for the abused to establish a strong emotional bond to the abuser

I lived in China for a few years. When I asked my Chinese teacher about the Tian'an Men Square revolt back in 1989, she asked me as in shock how I knew that.
👍It's censorship. Many Chinese people still don't know what happened at all. Outsiders know the terrible incident more than Chinese citizens.
Gee, maybe your intelligence?!
I spent a year in China in the mid ‘90’s. My interpreter was an Electrical Engineer. He was at school when the Japanese invaded in the ‘30’s, was in the University during the Hundred Flowers movement. He was critical,of the party and was sent to the countryside to “learn from the peasants “. He survived the Great Leap Forward, but during the Cultural Revolution he was again purged, did self-criticisms, was beaten almost daily. As an electrical engineer, his job was to dig the holes for telegraph and power poles. When Deng Xiaoping came to power and declared “It is glorious to get rich” he was repatriate society and for the first time was allowed to teach and run a business. He was an English interpreter for many companies.
We were walking around Tiananmen Square and Mao’s Mausoleum was open and I asked if he wanted to go through it with me. He said no, and then whispered to me “I hate him, Mr Colin. I HATE him!” I went through and saw Mao - or a wax dummy. Who knows? When I came out I whispered carefully to my friend “Good news, Professor! He is STILL dead!” Well, he laughed and laughed and repeated that line to me - He is still dead! For the next three months we worked together he would often look at me, grin, and say “He is still dead” as he clapped his hands and laughed. Sometimes with a little dance. He would have passed away by now, but I think of him often.
An interpreter I worked with in the UK about 10 years ago, who was in her 30s and from Shanghai, told me she'd never heard of it until she got to Britain.
nice try.....Almost all Chinese people over 40 years old know about the Tiananmen Incident.... Do you know why? Because it was reported on TV news at the time🤣
My late father said to me what ever you become don't become a Communist. His mother, my Grandma escaped twice from Stalin's troops with her childhood family. Stalin hated Finnic tribes.
The same happened in the USSR. They starved the rural areas in order to industrialize!!!😱😭😫
You don’t know Stalin is Mao’s teacher? Mao copied most of what he did in USSR.
That was the holodemore
Stalin did it on purpose. In ukraine. He blocked the entrances to the country and caused death by starvation.
@@Niko-vh8pj If you read the source material it doesn't appear to have been deliberate on Stalin's part but the outcome of his collectivisation policy. Many Russians also died during the Holodomor not only Ukrainians, some of the worst famine-affected areas were outside the Ukrainian SSR.
Also, Stalin used his terror famine to punish Ukrainians who had resisted his failed policies. He demanded unrealistic quotas while letting grain rot
Every American needs to watch this video. We never learn from history so we are doomed to repeat it.
America is done for white minority soon 57% census 2021 American will turn into another South American country
You mean every Chinese national should watch this. Because more Americans know about that period than the average Chinese people do. Because Chinese history has been heavily sanitized or outright erased in mainland China. This is why Mao is so revered, even though he hated Chinese culture and was indifferent to their suffering.
@@breveth you're giving the united states far too much credit. the major of our college educated the last 10-15 years at least are pushing for communisim to come here and they're getting louder. they have not taught our children about things like this in schools since the 1990s

My Fiancée is Chinese, and she told me her parents lived through that time. They were both haunted by what they saw and experienced until the day they died.
I’m 70. My former girlfriend was a teen when she was sent to a camp. Her father was an academic though didn’t face persecution. Oddly she remembered that time at camp as a pleasant experience. She was a city girl and it was so refreshing to breathe country air and experience nature and growing food. She might slip of to a nearby town with a friend to trade some produce for some buns. I’m not saying these weren’t harsh times for most. It shocks me that she had a positive experience. She gave me a collection of Mao pins her mother had saved. She remembered the propaganda songs. But one song she loved was a Chinese spoof of a Soviet patriotic song. All the words are Chinese and are NOT a translation of the Russian song. They were chosen for the way they sounded almost Russian. Literally it was a silly song about frogs in a pond or something like that. Sung so forcefully. Afterwards we would both laugh hard. Best wishes for you and your soon to be wife. Vote Blue, lol.
The International Red Cross and various other countries offered food aid, but Mao and his communist thugs refused it.
Get ready for the Liberal Left to send this country that direction.

Forcing experimental gene therapies on people is tyrranical.
Glad this is available. This is a prime example of what misery can unfold when one leader consolidates all power amongst himself and his close followers. Fifty million deaths, unimaginable despair.

What about the Xi Jinping administration? I hear that he worships Mao Zedong. Oh, in communist China, where the society is monitored by camera AI, people can't express their true feelings

Communism really is a kind of cult.
Af tryd to warn you back in the 1930s
Apparently YT has problems with me calling Russian style mid century totalitarianism another word for "religion with few followers with weird beliefs" Gotta love CCP censorship.
If I was a high school history teacher I’d make all of my students watch. It’s such a masterclass in how politicians make lofty promises and mobilize the population against itself to consolidate power.
You would be fired for disloyalty to the party.
If it happens in recorded history,it must be shown or humanity will repeat it in a different incarnations,the communist will always fail in the end because that's how that system works,study their adjectives not the subject.
No you wouldn't. You wouldn't dare. Do you have any idea what would happen if they found out you were actually teaching history instead of making activists that hate men, white people, and america?
You would be sacked immediately, they don't want kids knowing this, so they can do it again.
I would not call the Chinese past or present “Politicians”
45,000,000 - Let that sink in!
And yet, displaying the symbols of communism is allowed?
History actually puts it at 45-80M. Geopolitics had rather keep the number at a middling 45M rather than admit the number is likely much higher.
@@mynamedoesntmatter8652typical isn't it?
@@thepeskytraveller3870
Yes, sadly it sure is typical. But not every source glosses over; it takes digging to put the facts together. We’ll never know the actual numbers but I’m satisfied believing it’s closest to 65M.
@@thepeskytraveller3870
For a firsthand inside look into Mao’s life as the revolutionary leader of the CCP I recommend the documentary ‘The Revolutionary.’ It’s very in depth, quite a shocking look through the eyes of a Jewish American who became the only American ever to be a card-carrying CCP member. Happy trails, traveler, and safe ones.
45 million to 80 million dead bodies, more than the population of UK. Now, tell us, where were all the physical locations of MASS GRAVES in China??
At the same time, can you show us any photographs of the 60 to 70 millions of dead bodies laying around the whole China. If you cannot, your allegation is only just FAIRY TALES.
Every one of the Communist and Socialist societies started with good intentions that preached equality, fairness and greater social welfare yet they all ended in mass death, yet there is always no shortage of people in western society who FEEL that because their intentions are good that therefore things will end up different as they push the same policies at a slower pace through democracies.
Do you know that the majority of American young people know nothing about this topic.
Many of them want Maoism here.
Ignorance to the horrors that come along with Marxist and communist ideologies at our own detriment, very scary the ignorance to the radical left.
You're right. At work one day I asked some younger coworkers if they knew who Mao was and nobody had heard of him!!
@@christianstone4724 unbelievable eh!!!
@@jn1mrgn right…unfortunately. Our education system has deteriorated so badly and we’re all going to pay for their far out ideologies. We’re in trouble
This is the type of thing that happens when you let theory overcome practice and replace science with ideology and political cultism.
He was convinced he was following the science. But it still had deeply dogmatic and personality cult undertones. Turns out things can be accepted as science that turn out to be dogmatic but wrong, such as social Darwinism, eugenics, nazsm, and Marxism.
@@andyb619Well said! He really did think Marxism-Leninism was scientific (it was referred to as “scientific socialism”). His writings are quite interesting, but it was certainly idealistic and dogmatic with regards to solving class struggle.
Lenin did the same thing...then discovered things were not working out...so he purged and murdered 15,000. Then collectivized and killed millions. Then Stalin took charge and starved and murdered 30 million more.
Looks exactly like what is happening today. Follow "The Science".
Much like the West today then.
And yet this guy's face is still printed on the money today 😐
Would it be better to print your face on it? Why not ask the Chinese people what they think?
人类历史上，排名第一的人类恶魔，在他的治下，近一亿中国人失去宝贵生命
@@user-de3gy1vt1b "Hey Chinese people what's your opinion on being starved to death because of incompetent leadership by a moron?"
Historians estimate that Stalin (during his reign) killed an estimated (conservatively) 56,000,000 persons. Others peg the number at 60,000,000. Mao killed 45-55,000,000. Those numbers speak horrifically for the tragedy that unfolded in Russia (U.S.S.R.) and China (P.R.C.).
and the fact that they aren't as deeply vilified in western pop culture as the nazis - who had roughly 20 million dead? - proves that the victors are the ones to write history. I mean, come on, I see college students and highschoolers wandering around with hammer n' sickle shirts, caps, pins, etc.
They sport a Che Guevara shirt, too, as if the man wasn't a murderer as well....
That number looks more like the number of people that died during Stalins reign, about 2 decades, not the number that Stalin killed. People die you know, even for natural causes.
Don't forget the holodomor .. ukraine numbers were huge
Don't forget Deng Xiaoping still need one Child policy and China still have 1.4 Billion population 😂 make me wonder why Western propaganda so bad at math 😂
Why did all that happen? Certainly something caused it to happen. What happened before 1958, 1957, etc? Can anyone tell me?
Redistribution never works. Never.
It's also immoral.
What do you mean? Redistribution from the poor to the rich works almost every time. The worst someone could do is make a hypocritical documentary about you (looking at you England. "Mao was one of the greatest murderers of the 20th century" while pumping the country with opium)
Its almost as if Marxists cannot create wealth but rather only consume it.
Yep bingo. its just wrong. goes against the laws of mother nature.
They want to do it here in the US!
I see you havent watched the documentary.
"'real communism' is choosing which of your children you're going to eat that night so they others can live." - Carl Benjamin
No, that’s the military draft.
In Tibet which was invaded by PRC in 1949-50, the Great Leap Forward caused the only great famine in Tibetan history. Over 1/2 million Tibetans, out of a population of only 6 million, died as a result of this famine.
It’s interesting what lessons people choose to take from this. What largely started out with good intentions - an alleviation of crushing poverty and social inequality - turned into a national cult, with all the hallmarks of a cult. In reality I think we just can’t give a person that much power. It turns dangerous every time. Distributed power and accountability are non-negotiable.
LOL bless your heart, there were never good intentions. 😂😂😂 You probably always vote for whoever promises you rainbows and unicorns, candidates, don't you? 😂😂😂
If you think for a minute there were "good intentions," you really do not understand communism. You fool yourself into blaming it on cultism; people had no choice but to act the part if they were to survive another day. Mao and his followers were evil through and through, and they would sacrifice anyone and as many as they had to to hold onto power. And seeing people suffer was their fetish. We have to give up this nonsense of the "good intentions" of political leaders who deliberately put people through hell.
@@slappy8941Those that promise equality, always crave all the power for themselves. Stalin, Mao, WEF.
The Peoples' Dynasty got off to a rocky start. But it eventually found its' course, got in the groove, righted itself, or whatever. And for all that, the rulers of China have done much for the people of China. China has become a modern, advanced, and civil society. ( no warlords - like Chicago )
"a rocky start" Hmmm? Millions starved to death - intentionally. How about the tens of thousands were shot and killed for political reasons? And a cultural revolution that repressed and persecuted? And the Uyghurs? And social credits today? One child policy that will plummet that nation into a depopulation crisis, not to mention the human rights outrages that enforced those laws? Hong Kong? Really? A rocky start?
What a great documentary. Probably the best one I have seen on this subject.
We n the West don’t tend to learn about China’s history, so documentaries such as this one are valuable in teaching us the terrible, tragic reality behind the dogma and the propaganda. I grew up on the 1960s, I remember how terribly impressed we all were, especially middle class intellectuals, with the idea of Chinese and soviet communism, little did we realise the inhumane and soul-destroying nature, as well as the sheer insane impracticality and unreasonableness, of this doctrinaire ideology of monstrous personality cult and institutionalised deceit.
Still, many young woke left on university campus in the West ideologize Mao and Stalin. No kidding.
@@tracyli5201 sadly yes. when I was little I remember watching news of the Tienemen square demonstrations and seeing "Tank man"'s image on the newspapers. I watched the Berlin wall crumble down and how everyone danced with bottles of wine live on TV. Cubans so desperate to get out of their communist country they came over in anything that floated, sometimes drowning in the process. Its sad to know that no one pays attention to these things anymore and how profound it is to witness and understand as a child. and yet our entire educational system and the college educated are determined to ignore important world events because it doesn't fit their narrative
The mankind has tried the experiment of Communism enough times and yielded enough death tolls that it should be swept into the dustbin of history like fascism and Nazism. @@aubreymorgan9763

I had a Chinese teacher about ten years ago, her parents lived through that time period and the Cultural Revolution. She told us her parents told her, during that time all we had to eat was cabbage and beets but we were greatfull for that
Fully half my ancestors starved in the Irish Famine in Donegal in 1847. Their mass grave, unmarked except for a huge depression in the ground is their only epitaph. It was deliberate in Ireland and just over 100 years later in China, to cow the populace and receive foreign cash from the sale of farm produce, all to build Maos Army and weaponry
It was genocide. Plenty of food was available, they just exported it to England.
You do understand the difference
My people (Native) sent food to Ireland during the potato famine, we developed a good friendship with the Irish.
Remember as well the fear put into people by the idealistic and brainwashed 'students ' holding up their little red book while playing judge jury and executioner at will... neighbors turning in neighbors.. families doing the same... scary for sure
Stalin used the same formula in Ukraine, Ukrainian grain for western technology and millions starved to death.
Every future generation needs to learn about this.
It's hard to believe that some people in the US want to bring that form of government to America.
It is not some people. It is MOST people. Biden got more than 50% of the vote. MOST people actively voted for misery starvation death and destruction.
stupid people are very dangerous they are many and can vote a president .
The Lunatic Left policies must be stopped.
Who? Who wants to bring mass starvation and the killing of entire species (sparrows) to America? I mean the average American could certainly go a week or two of starvation seeing as it’s the most obese nation on earth, but no one wants to see the Great Leap Forward American styles happen
They are using the same strategy that Mao did. Use stupid kids as an instrument for their demise. Sad really, you show these poor kids the truth but they scream “Nazis” at you.
"recycle human bodies". Oh my Lord. Like Solyent Green. Heavenly father deliver us from repeating this evil. Deliver us from evil men.

Don't sound so naive. As if you're surprised this can happen. 😮
The main reason why no old person wants to talk about this time period is because lots of them had to eat people who stay alive.

Agreed, but the female narrator does not make a real effort to pronounce Chinese names correctly - wrong number of syllables in names.
11:19, Mao's philosophy was nothing but supreme narcissism and self-protection. He once said, "Whatever I am most afraid of someone doing to me, I will do it to him first."
Dictators are scary, they do things that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and they are on a different scale. Both Mao and Stalin killed tens of millions of people.
And he indirectly killed many people maybe 20 millions or less

For those who haven’t seen this documentary, I highly recommend ‘The Revolutionary’ about Sidney Rittenberg’s life following Mao after leaving the service of the US military. He’s a highly intelligent individual, but it’s a difficult watch because why on earth would an American Jew ever choose to be a member of and faithfully serve the CCP, mostly as Mao’s righthand man. He spent many years in prison on two separate terms of trumped up charges that amounted to nothing, and still he sided with, loved, chose - he chose Mao’s “dream” over freedom in his own country, and it was offered. I’ve watched it a few times and will do so again. He never saw himself as part of mass genocide although it was all around him. He was too into being a revolutionary for Mao Zedong and the CCP. Frankly I think that’s a thin line between sanity and lack of moral judgment. Fascinating look at all that was going on though, an inside look into the earliest days through the horrific atrocities within the country. It’s a must see for everyone who looks at all the facets of historical events.
Because it goes further than politics, they worship their ideology like a religion would…
@@HyBr1dRaNg3r
Of course that’s true of Communist China; my comment is about Sid Rittenberg’s life as a firebrand for Mao’s dream, so I’m unclear about your comment’s reference in that regard.
A lot of the founding members of the CCP were ethnically Jewish. Israel Epstein headed Mao's propaganda apparatus
I'm not sure why it's surprising. Jews have always been very prominent in communist causes. They were strongly represented among the bloodiest subordinates in the darkest time periods of the Soviet Union.

We complain so much about how terrible our western lives are, yet so many have no idea how bad life can really get if things fall apart. We treat shit like this as ancient history, these people are still alive!
Shit... the cultural differences were astounding. Picture China in 1958 compared with the average lifestyle in the USA, for instance. On one side you've got heated homes with refrigerators, microwave ovens, televisions, a car on nearly every driveway, massive prosperity etc. and at the same time you've also got human beings literally eating mud to stay alive across the other side of the globe. 😶

Socialism vs communism…
38:30, Khrushchev begs Mao not to follow Stalin in collectivization.
Vietnam listened Cambodia didn't. Cambodia went full 'Retard'.
They should have covered how Mao started his campaign, he started it by the destruction of statues.
No, he started it by preaching embracing a new system/belief in your heart that the older generation and non peasants did not embrace to the point he viewed them as enemies of the revolution while almost all under 30 (in his mind) were ready for the new; obviously he made the communist call to kill tens of millions lol
The youth fundamentally believed everything he had said (like Trump, he was viewed as an everyman that you could trust to tell the real truth the capitalist/traditional pillars of power lie about) and that is really the start of things like this.
45,000,000 is the low end of the estimated deaths. 100,000,000 is the higher end. That's 1/10 of a billion dead.

My grandma actually lived through this and it was painful because her parents well they passed away when she was only 3 days old she had her feet bind and in those times if you got married and your husband or wife passed away you could not marry again you had to stay a widow for the rest of your life even if you had children’s or not
And his picture is on CCP money to this day. Unreal.
In the mind of the collectivist, the individual counts for nothing.
😮 Unyet, life is OK there now, according to my son, living in China ( he's an Australian) English graduate. Been there for 20 or so years now. Visits us all in Australia every year with his son ❤. Loves his life, he's not a commie, like me and most Aussies we are NOT political! ❤
Both Francois Mitterand and Jawaharlal Nehru were easily fooled by the Chinese.
This video does not EXPLAIN HOW Mao managed to control the vast masses of people. There is only a few shots of CRAZED youth screaming with exitement. Mao and his close collaborators DELIBERATELY WHIPPED UP extreme HYSTERIA in his followers, that spread terror to the whole population. First in the 'countryside', then in the youth with the 'Cultural Revolution'. The imbecilic programs in the countryside were repeated in the towns as the vast majority of the people people were driven to ridiculous extremes of hysterical behaviour - HOW ELSE COULD PEOPLE BE PURSUADED TO ACT ON SUCH IMBELIC doctorines? I worked in China in 1997. I noticed a clearly divided society - one in which the people over 70 and the young under 30, worked diligently and sensibly at all types of work - the other were the middle aged, those who had lived under Mao, were USELESS for work and could only be employed to sweep the streets!
The effect of mass hysteria on people MUST BE RECOGNISED, if we are to learn from this terror. I saw again the action of hysteria HERE IN BRITAIN as the population were driven into SENSELESS LOCKDOWNS. Again I see it with the 'net zero' craze and the effect of 'woke ideologies' (slang word for nihilism) that are trying to destroy our society as Mao did with his.
It's hard to believe that ine human being could do these things to millions of other humans. But when i was a kid,we were taught about chairman Mao,and what he did to his people. I was still a little boy when he was still on power. There weren't any tears shed when he died in 1976 .
I visited liu shao qi prime minister of china's village where they have a museum there and local people told me he was starved to death.Most people in china now realise what mao has done.
"The great reset", this one from Karl Schwab of World Economic Forum (WEF) must be a good one for all of us. "You own nothing and still happy" - Karl Schwab
He praises China as the perfect model to follow.
more need to know about this event in history; the rulers are trying to do it again!! Look at what is happening in Germany l, Netherlands, Paris and even Australia ... etc... Farmers are protesting against the government control
Ah, someone noticed the obvious parallels.
Hey! No school suicide massacres! Or tons of homeless due to Reaganisim.
He looks as if he never went without a meal.....
Frank Dikötters book "Mao's great famine" is a must read for anyone interested in this topic. It was nice that he was in this too
I remember the greetings of my parents' generation was always "have you eaten". It was until years later did i understand why.
China's population decreased in 1959-1960, the next time this happens is in 2022. Thank god it was no longer due to famine.
Great video .thank for watching
ដោយសារតែរបបអាម៉ៅសេទុងនេះហើយដែលនាំឱ្យប្រទេសកម្ពុជាធ្លាក់ចូលក្នុងរណ្ដៅរបបប្រល័យពូជសាស។
This is insanely depressing😢
Hard work for a thousand years, happiness is an illusion 😢.
From 1949 to 1976, it was the darkest time in Chinese history
Drake has monuments to Mao in his mansion. What a derp.
If you need comedy after this, watch Chinese dash cam. Their driving can not be explained. It's just bizarre
Oh, did I miss the part where Mao ordered all sparrows to be slaughtered? Ah! Those locust sided with Mao....
Why did he kill them?Everyone knows sparrows eat pest.
@@heinuchung8680a lot of peasants had died so the crops failed. The sparrows were blamed for this failure as a propagandist tactic. The poor sparrows and poorer people
Very great documentary
Looks like XI is trying to do a rehash , These despots never seem to learn
16:31-16:45 *does this sound familiar to anyone else in the USA or The West as a whole?!*
Very very interesting- i dont know much about this subject
Neither do most chinese.
For generation after generation after generation the strength of the Chinese people cannot be overstated. May God have mercy on those who continue to suffer
The “work points” sound to be completely opposite to the stated goal of communism: from each according to his means, to each according to their needs…What is more needed than food?😳
Communists live in opposite world.
That man was mad😢😢😢
The craziest part of all of this, is that in the midst of starving and dying, they are still foolishly smiling and praising Mao and the party and declaring their country a paradise. I truly cannot understand these people. It is a level of insanity beyond comprehension.
Anyone know when was this documentary filmed?
Many countries are on the same path including India. We are heading towards a same path of giving the country to just one single guy.
Dark time ahead.
This video is Nazi propaganda. Do not believe it.
Anytime you hear the word, 'Great' come out of someone in powers mouth run. Seriously.
Mao's great leap forward.
Instead of stimulating the country's economy, The Great Leap Forward resulted in mass starvation and famine. It is estimated that between 30 and 45 million Chinese citizens died due to famine, execution, and forced labor, along with massive economic and environmental destruction.
Under Mao Zedong an estimated 80 million died as victims due to starvation, persecution, prison labour, and mass executions, and his government has been described as totalitarian.
A degree of context and history of famines in china should've been added. Under repressive, inhumane, feudal china, peasants experienced famines almost every year. There are over 1000 recorded famines in china. Mao destroyed the feudal system. Initial consequence was inevitably chaos in rural society that was accustomed to millenia old feudal land owning and agricultural system. Modern china is the direct result of what Mao did: destruction of feudalism, fighting off the Japanese, fighting off nationalists and then fighting off Americans. This is nothing short of genuis, wisdom, strategic success, and fulfilling the dream of creating one of the greatest nations in the world. In the shortest of time. And Mao ensured that there were no more famines in china. That's miraculous.
Great leap forward - Build back better 👀
When I first went to China in 1988, you could see still the impact of the Cultural Revolution. When I met kids born during that period in villages, most had physical deformities.
Once the CCP got out of the way of the Chinese people, the country blossomed.
Now we are seeing the impact of CCP getting in the way of the people again. Every Chinese person I talk to - in China or out - have the same message. Jobs and business are dying. People are struggling. Most want to leave. The lucky ones had foresight and left long ago or at least put assets outside of China and have some type of alternate passport or residency. Oh, the China connected Expats have the same message. These people were super bullish on China up until just a year or two ago.
Yeah! They produce all American consumer goods!
Does anyone know what the title of the song that starts playing at 7:20 and ends at roughly 7:33 is? If anyone could help that would be cool.
Thanks

Song during culture revolution “dear chairman Mao”….
