My grandmother was a teenager living on a farm with her mother and father during these times in Dongguan (which has been the electronics manufacturer of the world for the past 10 years) in the Guangdong Province. Her father died rather abruptly from inhaling toxic gases while clearing a crude drainage system on the farm and left my grandmother and her mother behind. She says that before her farm was confiscated by the CCP (her mother was actually compensated the equivalent of pennies on the dollar of what the farmland was worth, but they really didn't have a choice in the matter) there would always be 'distant relatives' and strangers that would stay on their farm and freeload because they had nowhere else to go, had no money and were starving. My grandmothers mother was kind hearted and took in these less fortunate people as best as her means could provide. At some point she housed and fed more than 15~20 of them. For many of them it was a sojourn whilst making their way down to Hong Kong which was free from the troubles of China at the time. Many had heard of the prosperity that the British Colony had brought and wanted a piece of the pie. Some years later even my wifes father had swam across the seas to illegally enter Hong Kong when the Government at the time announced they were issuing ID Cards for citizenship. Albeit, his heart still belongs to China as the indoctrination that generation was subject to, to them was really profound. He would often complain to his children "why do all of you not love China?!" and they would retort "if you love China so much what are you doing in Hong Kong?" to which he would become frustrated for having no good answer. I asked my Grandmother once "do you think Mao Zedong is good?" and she enthusiastically answers without a second of hesitation "Yes! Yes, he's wonderful!" and started blurting out the first few phrases of the Chinese national anthem in song. I guess it's why that generation is called the "Lost Generation."
My father's grandmother and my mother's grandmother both starved to death in “Great Famine” in Hebei Province. My mother was a ten-year-old kid who thought she would starve to death too in 1960.
A person can't be brainwashed that long. It's not about brainwashing. It was a chaotic era. Many were liberated. Many had their lands confiscated. Its just the same as the French revolution. Would you call the jacobite or the white terror wrong? It renewed society. In hindsight. China would be worse than India today without the CPC
My grandma was a school teacher and then a principal teaching in China during the cultural revolution. Not a great time to be a teacher, as they targeted intellectuals. She said that once a group of red guards (students who worshipped Mao), pinned her down and shaved her head in public. Craziest part is, she still absolutely worships Mao and the Chinese government. At least she says she does.
If you would like more information about what happened to families during this time, a great book to read would be Red Scarf Girl. The author actually lived through the cultural revolution and the book is a retelling of what she lived through. My english teacher actually made a unit covering the cultural revolution. He went very in-depth and explain a lot of what happened. He also had us do an essay comparing Mao and a Dictator of our own choice. It was very informative and I believe that more people should be taught about this dark side of history.

Much respect to all of our Chinese neighbors sharing their own families' horror stories from the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. May our political extremes in America never be allowed to resort to these tactics.
Have you forgotten how the USA treaded their own population of the Original People of America , there were not many left in 1900, that’s the worst crime committed by the USA.The Europeans don’t talk about it, I mean most of the people who emigrated to America were at that time from Europe.
“Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.” Mao Zedong That quote by him speaks about how some people view politics. It's a war to them and their side has to win. You see so many people from all sides throwing abuse at those who disagree on social media. As history shows that is the wrong way. Politics is all about debate and only when people can freely debate with one another. Can strong democracies where everyone can have a decent life can exist.
I have to disagree somewhat, debating is another form of showmanship; who can sound smart and charismatic to a large population because how many can you say believe in what they say if not to appeal to masses and win points? And how many just do it (especially in media now) to look smart? It's another form of competition that sometimes just reinforces ideas instead of challenging them.
Democracy (and fair election) can make most people choose status quo instead of a bloodbath. but violent is always an option. btw in that sense should the not-so intellect allowed to freely debate?
The biggest tragedy of this was the forced communal steel and bronze production was all pointless as they used primal smelting techniques that made the bronze and steel absolutely useless and worthless it was all a waste of time 🤦♂️
All of it was a waste of time. It's amazing how Moa was told his strategies would fail but killed the people who told him so. A bad quality to have as a "leader."
One thing that you missed mentioning in this fantastic video is that those red guards were so brainwashed they even betrayed and ratted out their own family members ( even for hiding academic books, religious paraphrenia etc.) It was a time where parents could not even trust their kids. I remember watching a documentary a few years back which they interviewed some of the red guards, and they recounted all the horrific things that they did. To my amazement, they didnt seem to show any remorse or guilt. It seemed to me that they were proud of what they did.
So happy to see that Mao is finally getting some recognition in the west for the horrors he inflicted It's wildly understated, but recognizing him as evil is a good first step.
I had read in a biography that twice, once during the Long March and the other during the general civil war, Mao and his wife had to give their newborn child to some peasants so that they would be able to focus on the war at hand. imagine, at least two families could be the direct descendants of Mao and not even know it.
Unlikely, first the story is most likely not true. Second if they were peasants then they likely died during Mao’s rule like millions of others in China. So If the story is true it would mean that Mao killed his own children which isn’t something that’s hard to believe considering he killed millions and millions of his own people.
So the man responsible for the most deaths in history is also responsible for the greatest population boom in history, how are we going to judge such an individual. 😆
My grandmother escaped from China during the famine period because they had no food to eat, sometime just a bowl of rice shared among a family of six once a week, from her memory, that was one of the most horrific time of her life, watching people died of starvation and people killing each other for what little food they have. I think the figure of six million quoted to have died may be well below the true figures.
I am not chinese and truly hate both of those monsters. I hope all those they killed are torturing Mao and Stalin for eternity in the most unfathomably horrific ways.

Mao was an evil man responsible for so many deaths. My friend grew up in China and was young when he died. She felt no sorrow when he died because she didn't know him. However, her mom warned her to act sad and pretend to cry about his death at school and in public, otherwise they would be punished and locked up for not showing emotion about his passing. So, my friend said she did as her mom told her to do, bowing her head and faking sadness and sobbing so her family would not be arrested.

There are people in politics today who are against education and don't want history to be taught. Make no mistake, something similar can and may happen here in the U.S. when the cult of personality and anti-education take hold.
The last 6 years has already seen this increased in the US, at every specific level of our government, embedded into, and magnified by, social media and specific media outlets.

Given right-wing concerns that history may be forgotten and left-wing concerns that the uneducated are easily fooled by personality, this should be a bipartisan issue.
I personally believe that the biggest problem is that old people shouldn't be given that much power, and that the power definitely cannot be centralized to one person only. Such action can cause many problems, as a single mistake, by accident or on purpose, can lead to many deaths in the country. This is why most of these kind of countries are very poor and the people leaders are supreme.

There died 600 000 Americans during the Civil War. There were 30 millions in total. Multiply by 25 to get the population of China in the 1960's.

Some even go as far to say that Lincoln turned the American Republic into an Empire of which he was Ceasar, and that's not 100% false. But the fact was the South really fought for the preservation of slavery however hypocritical was the fight of the North against it. Mao should be valued like Lincoln : a tyrant who only had the word democracy in his mouth, but...

My grandmother was a teenager living on a farm with her mother and father during these times in Dongguan (which has been the electronics manufacturer of the world for the past 10 years) in the Guangdong Province. Her father died rather abruptly from inhaling toxic gases while clearing a crude drainage system on the farm and left my grandmother and her mother behind. She says that before her farm was confiscated by the CCP (her mother was actually compensated the equivalent of pennies on the dollar of what the farmland was worth, but they really didn't have a choice in the matter) there would always be 'distant relatives' and strangers that would stay on their farm and freeload because they had nowhere else to go, had no money and were starving. My grandmothers mother was kind hearted and took in these less fortunate people as best as her means could provide. At some point she housed and fed more than 15~20 of them. For many of them it was a sojourn whilst making their way down to Hong Kong which was free from the troubles of China at the time. Many had heard of the prosperity that the British Colony had brought and wanted a piece of the pie.
Some years later even my wifes father had swam across the seas to illegally enter Hong Kong when the Government at the time announced they were issuing ID Cards for citizenship. Albeit, his heart still belongs to China as the indoctrination that generation was subject to, to them was really profound. He would often complain to his children "why do all of you not love China?!" and they would retort "if you love China so much what are you doing in Hong Kong?" to which he would become frustrated for having no good answer.
I asked my Grandmother once "do you think Mao Zedong is good?" and she enthusiastically answers without a second of hesitation "Yes! Yes, he's wonderful!" and started blurting out the first few phrases of the Chinese national anthem in song. I guess it's why that generation is called the "Lost Generation."
A shame many people don’t know about that, + first
My father's grandmother and my mother's grandmother both starved to death in “Great Famine” in Hebei Province. My mother was a ten-year-old kid who thought she would starve to death too in 1960.
Wow. I can’t begin to even think how hard this was.
@@fourlomm Me too
A person can't be brainwashed that long. It's not about brainwashing. It was a chaotic era. Many were liberated. Many had their lands confiscated. Its just the same as the French revolution. Would you call the jacobite or the white terror wrong? It renewed society. In hindsight. China would be worse than India today without the CPC
My grandma was a school teacher and then a principal teaching in China during the cultural revolution. Not a great time to be a teacher, as they targeted intellectuals. She said that once a group of red guards (students who worshipped Mao), pinned her down and shaved her head in public. Craziest part is, she still absolutely worships Mao and the Chinese government. At least she says she does.
Wow amazing story. Maybe Stockholm syndrome.
We always say "never again" until it happens, again and again and again and again.

Yep!

And again in gaza
But it will be different this time!
If you would like more information about what happened to families during this time, a great book to read would be Red Scarf Girl. The author actually lived through the cultural revolution and the book is a retelling of what she lived through.
My english teacher actually made a unit covering the cultural revolution. He went very in-depth and explain a lot of what happened. He also had us do an essay comparing Mao and a Dictator of our own choice. It was very informative and I believe that more people should be taught about this dark side of history.
I remember hearing about that book in highschool but only being able to read like a poem or I believe it was a passage from the book because apparently it was too violent and gruesome to read in our school

“Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.”
Mao Zedong
That quote by him speaks about how some people view politics. It's a war to them and their side has to win. You see so many people from all sides throwing abuse at those who disagree on social media. As history shows that is the wrong way. Politics is all about debate and only when people can freely debate with one another. Can strong democracies where everyone can have a decent life can exist.
I have to disagree somewhat, debating is another form of showmanship; who can sound smart and charismatic to a large population because how many can you say believe in what they say if not to appeal to masses and win points? And how many just do it (especially in media now) to look smart? It's another form of competition that sometimes just reinforces ideas instead of challenging them.
China isn't a democracy. It's a totalitarian dictatorship
Democracy (and fair election) can make most people choose status quo instead of a bloodbath. but violent is always an option.
btw in that sense should the not-so intellect allowed to freely debate?
No
The biggest tragedy of this was the forced communal steel and bronze production was all pointless as they used primal smelting techniques that made the bronze and steel absolutely useless and worthless it was all a waste of time 🤦♂️
All of it was a waste of time. It's amazing how Moa was told his strategies would fail but killed the people who told him so. A bad quality to have as a "leader."

One thing that you missed mentioning in this fantastic video is that those red guards were so brainwashed they even betrayed and ratted out their own family members ( even for hiding academic books, religious paraphrenia etc.) It was a time where parents could not even trust their kids. I remember watching a documentary a few years back which they interviewed some of the red guards, and they recounted all the horrific things that they did. To my amazement, they didnt seem to show any remorse or guilt. It seemed to me that they were proud of what they did.
That’s what happens when a society removes every type of moral compasses and genuine discord from the people.

I had read in a biography that twice, once during the Long March and the other during the general civil war, Mao and his wife had to give their newborn child to some peasants so that they would be able to focus on the war at hand. imagine, at least two families could be the direct descendants of Mao and not even know it.
oh no, I have absolute faith those kids either died when they were babies or at some point later on.
Unlikely, first the story is most likely not true. Second if they were peasants then they likely died during Mao’s rule like millions of others in China. So If the story is true it would mean that Mao killed his own children which isn’t something that’s hard to believe considering he killed millions and millions of his own people.
Most likely more propaganda
Also possible that they wound up being among Mao’s victims.
Don't forget that one million plus citizens of Tibet died since they illegally went in & now occupy Tibet.

Mao was an evil man responsible for so many deaths. My friend grew up in China and was young when he died. She felt no sorrow when he died because she didn't know him. However, her mom warned her to act sad and pretend to cry about his death at school and in public, otherwise they would be punished and locked up for not showing emotion about his passing. So, my friend said she did as her mom told her to do, bowing her head and faking sadness and sobbing so her family would not be arrested.

Movie theaters in the Soviet Union showed newsreels and clips of Chiang, at Moscow Sun Yat-sen University Portraits of Chiang were hung on the walls, and in the Soviet May Day Parades that year, Chiang's portrait was to be carried along with the portraits of Karl Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and other socialist leaders.”_

Such action can cause many problems, as a single mistake, by accident or on purpose, can lead to many deaths in the country. This is why most of these kind of countries are very poor and the people leaders are supreme.
I had to stop every 5 minutes of this video just to deal with the emotions. This is so sad. I feel so sad for all the people who suffered. I hope our world will never be hungry again, nor China will. I hope we ll manage to find a way to make everyone understand that the happiness and productivity starts from personal effort resulting in personal gain. And not my giving your result of work to the “party”.
Sounds you need to avoid similar video about ph****** muhammad then
Vote red and this won’t happen here!
The fact Mao is still venerated around the World despite making Adolf H. look like a saint makes me lose every hope for humanity. Those who do not know their past are condemned to repeat it
A famine is in no way shape or formal similar to purposefully genociding entire races of people. Your stupidity makes me lose hope in humanity
If you rely on hopium you need to get off of that and look at everything, the good and the bad.
Just look no further than Phillippines. They just elected a son of mass murderer
Why I found it funny but its not supposed to be funny? Maybe I have a problem with my brain?
There died 600 000 Americans during the Civil War. There were 30 millions in total. Multiply by 25 to get the population of China in the 1960's. Would you ascribe all those massacres of the Civil War to Lincoln and his idea that slavery had to be abolished? Some even go as far to say that Lincoln turned the American Republic into an Empire of which he was Ceasar, and that's not 100% false. But the fact was the South really fought for the preservation of slavery however hypocritical was the fight of the North against it. Mao should be valued like Lincoln : a tyrant who only had the word democracy in his mouth, but...
It often occurs to me how, as much as I can respect the idea of intellectual inoculation, the people with access to this information are often the ones poised to use the other side of the story.

Imagine going to college to learn how amazing that this was that we need to do this everywhere only difference is we need to change it ever so slightly how they don't know how but just a little bit different and then it'll work
Yeah when authoritarian facist take power every economic system is terrible.
So basically Socialism/Communism nowadays that they're trying to push in the U.S.?
What college did you attend to? In mine they said the Chinese regime was never communist. It was more of a command economy in the days of Mao, and State Capitalism in today's Xi Jinping China.
We should never do what China did, not even slightly different, because that would just mean State Capitalism, which is already worse than regular Capitalism.
@@bucherregaldomi9084 exactly, corporations already have so much control and have way less of a problem trampling on everyone. Giving control of the state over to them is always a bad idea
Wow...just wow. 😔 I truly hope their spirits are at rest. This was truly despicable.
This video is a breath of fresh air thank you
Did this channel just become based? Thank you for covering this!
That's not what based means.
Brother, get off the internet or you will never find a woman in your entire life.

Considering how brutal the Japanese was during WWII, ironically less people might have died if they took over 💀
Japan was responsible for close to 30 million direct and indirect deaths in china, and the chinese to this day still hate Japan from the bottom of their heart. Mao was responsible for over 100 million deaths and the chinese love him like a god hero to this day. There’s no one on earth who hates the chinese more than the chinese.
The R*ping of Nanking (Nanjing) says no.
@@nov4ni Nah he's still got a point, the Japanese where brutal, but didn't come close to the evil of Mao.
Germans were worst…
@@SavageSanto Stalin murdered millions more in Russia.
One of your best videos to date. Fantastic job

This guy was a real life Thanos
Standard communism, not shocked.
Take notes America, don’t let this happen to us
Boy I can't wait to see how many people take this as an anti-left video when in reality it should be taken as anti-authoritarian. Authoritarianism is not exclusive to either side.
true too far left or too far right leads to Authoritarianism communism or fascism both lead to countless deaths and suffering every single time
Your the first I seen to mention the left.
Alot of people have moved on from the colour coded blanket political tribes of 2016-2018 I think.
Nowadays I see more people be much more niche in their political idealogy.
Leftist hating other leftists.
The Russo-ukraine war for example has left wing people who now hate Russia and everything Russian related. While going a bit farther left we can see horseshoe theory in effect with tankies idolising Putin because Nato bad.
Dictators swing in all directions, they just need enough idiots to follow.
@Avalie they do promote communism, as you seen in the video, and Bernie sander higher up got caught saying they want to put people in gulag
@@alexcastle7085 Slavery was and still is capitalism. Resource management is complicated, especially if people ignore The Golden Rule.
He could’ve died a hero but instead he lived long enough to see himself become the villain
King Leopold II and his atrocities in Africa is another one you could look into....
I've heard a sound, is glass heart breaking into frags on the ground.
Mao: Highest death toll under his rule.
Xi: Challenge accepted.
How people like this get into power is way beyond me.
I shouldn't be surprised that this was already really depressing in just the first 10 seconds already 😥💔
26:48, Is that still supposed to be showing the Communist Chinese Revolutionaries, or a modern American school campus?
100 flowers campaign sums up Idi Amin Dadas quote perfectly.. "Freedom of speech I can guarantee. Freedom after speech I cannot"
Where would be a good place to learn more about the subject away from UA-cam's sensitivity? I find learning about the really bad stuff unfiltered helps to bring context on what these poor people had to truely face on a day to day basis
Read Jung Chang’s books, “Mao” and “Wild Swans”. Great author, well researched, personal experiences.
