A question to Chinese members. Do you have any family member who unnaturally died in Mao era？

[Rollno21]

Never heard that, and my dad born in 1960.

I have a Chinese friend who told me horrible stories about what his father saw in China during late 50s and early 60s.

The lie perpetrated that Mao killed 60 million people is the greatest hoax in history. Anyone believing such an easily debunked lie probably believed the propaganda that Saddam had WMDs in 2003 too. You’ve got to be a proper village idiot to believe such propaganda.

It's just western propaganda media repeating the lies thousands of times trying to brain wash the ignorant population according to their narrative to smear China. Anyone who knows the real history will know this claims about Mao are false and laughable accusations. Of course there are some like Indians who might know is not true but still pretending to be ignorant of the fact just so they can bad mouth China as well.

Obviously Mao is no saint and some of his failed policies contributed to the Famine of China at the time and people died. But I don't believe for a second the number are that high like the western propaganda media are keep repeating. And Mao did a lot more good and save a lot more Chinese than he ever did harm.

And trying to equal failed policy that cause famine as murders like Hitler shows the true intention of how disgusting these repeated lies by the western media are. And those who keep repeating the lies here
are intellectually disingenuous or just Indian bots.

Famine due to the west embargo.

My grandparents were sent to the countryside as punishment for being counter-revolutionaries in the late 1960's. My grandmother was from a wealthy family of landowners while my grandfather attended university as an KMT navy officer cadet. While both became party members in the 1950's, the Cultural Revolution was a crazy time. They spent 5 years in Sichuan's rural regions, until my grandfather was recalled to the South Sea Fleet in the 1973.

The whole 70 million figure is absolutely ridiculous. I watched that number grow more and more outlandish as I grow up. When I was a young teen, they were saying 20 million, then 35 million, now 70 million. These figures usually appear in FLG or right wing Western media, but admittedly they were effective in a smear job. While it's true that there were famine, the scale of death had been greatly exaggerated. In addition, the Chinese government's records were in shambles, and an accurate tally is difficult. Somehow these people knew the exact numbers, with no sources to back it up.

Mao was a disaster as an administrator and he was power hungry. The errors and evils of his ways are plain to see. There are plenty of criticism of him even inside CCP. There is no need for exaggeration and lies. If anything, I find these liars more repulsive than Mao himself, because of their motives usually involves the demise of China.

Their target is always the demise of China, Mao represents China, so they believe attacking Mao is a smart way to attack China and cause trouble and chaos in the country.
The west has been always day dreaming that their anti China and anti Mao propaganda will instigate the Chinese population to revolt and topple the current stable Chinese government. it's an open secret.

Yes my great grand father persecuted for being a land owner. My family were lucky to escape to Hong Kong or else we will be persecuted too

I have an Indian friend who told me horrible stories about what he personally saw in India during late 2000's and early 2010's.
