Why didn't the Chinese people overthrow Mao's government during the Great Famine of 1959–1961? Many

I am quite mature. Age doesn't necessarily have any impact on maturity.

trust me. age does have very important impact to your opinion.

Umm... Not necessarily. There are many people who are quite critical of Mao in China. It is just that the CCP is primarily risk averse, and hence doesn't want to open a can of unknown greesly stuff.

Also, Chinese, not here but in general, are one of the very open minded individuals primarily because they lack any ideology.
Ideology or Religion makes a person blind to one viewpoint, and his head can't leave that small black box. Chinese neither have any strong tendency to religion, nor political system, nor economic system. It is very good when one speaks to a rational, neutral Chinese.



I appreciate this mindset, yet the family must know and openly discuss what happened within the house, so that their can be effective remedy.

you know chinese quite well,chinese only believe in pragmatism. as for mao,most of my classmates,including me, are not his followings,though i admit he shaped chineses backbone especially Hans which chould be considered as resource of national spiritual strenghth.

This makes absolutely ZERO sense. Why the fwak would Chinese people overthrow Mao Zedong? That man is a national hero, without him China would still be under the yoke of foreign imperialism. Mao inherited a nation completely shattered from within with mass famine, civil war, civil unrest, foreign invasions and he did whatever it took to give Chinese people back our nation and national dignity.

Anti-Chinese folks love to paint Mao in the same light as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin as some kind of evil dictator mass murderer--how ironic when the same people making these accusations are the same people who happily cheer at the death of Chinese people. Talk about disingenuous.
