It is nothing but a “murderous campaign” carried out simply because the regime wants to kill people.
The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.

The worst genocide in history
Hyakuta
Then, we can say that egg-fried rice changed the world, can’t we?
To go back a bit, the year after the Chinese Communist Party came to power, that is, even in the middle of the Korean War, it carried out a counterrevolutionary suppression campaign (from October 1950).
It killed the remnants of the Kuomintang and others.
The war outside the country and repeated massacres inside the country. How typical of the Chinese Communist Party.
Shi
In the counterrevolutionary suppression movement, they have gunned down about 710,000 people.
Hyakuta
Then, in 1955, the “Purge Counterrevolutionary Molecules Movement” was carried out.
Here, too, they arrested a large number of counterrevolutionary molecules and shot them to death.
Shi
In one year, 1.3 million people were arrested, and 80,000 of them were shot dead.
After killing 710,000 people a few years ago, where in the world would 80,000 “counterrevolutionaries” come from to be killed just a few years later?
It is nothing but a “murderous campaign” carried out simply because the regime wants to kill people.
Hyakuta
Two years later, in 1957, the anti-rightist struggle took place.
They expelled 550,000 intellectuals from public office and sent them to forced labor and internment camps in rural areas.
Shi
About 200,000 or so intellectuals lost their lives at this time due to the worst working conditions and sanitation.
Indulging in every possible luxury behind the starvation of the people
Hyakuta
Then, the following year, in 1958, the Great Leap Forward movement took place.
It failed miserably and resulted in the starvation deaths of about 55 million people. 55 million people!
It is what happened in the 1950s.
Shi
In my hometown, Sichuan Province, 10 million people died of starvation. My relatives also died.
At that time, what did Mao Zedong, who was responsible for the failed government, eat?
He liked to eat Western food with lots of luxurious lobsters, abalone, and foie gras, and he even had the Chinese Air Force airlift fresh fish from a particular lake in his hometown in Hunan Province to Beijing. He said that he couldn’t eat fish on the train because it would lose its freshness.
He had his cooks, including a Western food team and a Chinese food team, and went to the limit of luxury every day.
He also led a life of lust, hooking up with one new woman after another and then throwing her away.
Hyakuta
On the other hand, the starving people ate tree roots, and when they still had nothing to eat, they ate their children.
When they could not eat their own children, they traded them for other children and ate them…
Shi
It was indeed a hellish scene.
However, the person responsible for the misrule is living a debauched life, indulging in every possible luxury. It is China.
Hyakuta
After the failure of the Great Leap Forward Movement, Mao Zedong’s prestige went down the drain. So he said to Liu Shaoqi, “You go ahead and do it.
However, as Liu Shaoqi’s popularity continued to grow and Mao’s influence declined, Mao said, “This is a bad idea; if we don’t do something, He might kill me.”
The Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), which Mao Zedong launched to purge his political enemies.
Shi
Moreover, Mao’s political enemies were Liu Shaoqi and the Communist Party officials who had almost stopped listening to Mao, so we purged all of them.
Lin Biao, who was in control of the army and the Red Guards, was mobilized to beat the executives, and cultural figures and intellectuals were also purged.
It carried out mass killings by torture and lynching all over the country.
During the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, the number of innocent people who were slaughtered or driven to suicide has exceeded 10 million by conservative estimates, with tens of millions of victims.
Among them, it included many babies and children.
It was indeed a “hell of carnage” created by the Communist Party of Mao Zedong.
This massacre, the worst in history, was the culmination of the Maoist regime’s efforts to build a government based on murder and consolidate its power base through murder.
Hyakuta
Liu Shaoqi was also purged in the end, wasn’t he?
Shi
It was a tragic end. Liu Shaoqi had cancer, but he was not treated, and he died in his underwear.
Lin Biao was also about to be purged and plotted to assassinate Mao Zedong but was crushed by Zhou Enlai.
Whether this was an accident or he was shot down is still a mystery.
