Mao was the leader of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). He fought the nationalists Led by Zhou Yin Lai. Zhou had more military power, but Mao uses the peasants to help him win the war. He realizes that the majority of China's population is peasants. He won the peasant's support by using land reforms. He took land away from the rich. With the support of the peasants, he won the war against the Nationalists and forced them into Taiwan.

Mao came into power in the late 1940s. Realizing how successful the land reforms were, he continued the land reform movement, especially in the rural area. This movement helped him gain a lot of power. Since majority of the populations benefited from th

If someone were to tell Mao how stupid his reforms were, Mao would call him Marxist and put him in jail. No one ever dare to say anything to him. In 1956, he try to rat out who's on his side and who's against him by launching "Hundred Flowers Bloom". HFB is a propaganda that Mao uses to trick people into saying what they really feel about Mao. He claims to encourage constructive criticism. A lot of people felt that this is their chance to speak up. However, Mao turned it 180 degree around and punished the people who criticized him. This case leads to a whole lot of problems. People knew that they can't say anything to him because he only wanted to hear what makes him happy. After this case, the whole country was afraid to criticize Mao in public.

A person who saw through Mao realizes that he can come into power just by sucking up to Mao. He published "Quotation of Mao Tse Dong". He had the country educated to love their leaders. He convinced people to believe that as long as they do what Mao said, then they are doing the right thing, because Mao is never wrong. Of course, Mao loved it.

is movement, they supplied him with endless support. He became their red sun. My mom was from a peasant family in China. She uses to tell me stories of how she was when she was young. Teachers in school use to teach students to sing nothing but the best things about Chairman Mao. She really believed in every word in those songs and thought that Mao's life was more important than her own.

At the same time, Mao also ran some poor agricultural techniques that led to poor agricultural output. People knew that he only wants to hear good news, so they had to lie to him about their output. At the end of the year, the leaders of the communes have to submit what they reported, and there wasn't enough to feed the poor. People starved, yet no one said anything. People only knew that their area's starving, because the news papers didn't dare to report it. Mao's HFB really made the people afraid to criticize his movements. My great grand parents starved to death. It was the largest famine in reported history. Over 30 million people died. If anything, 7-9 million human lives were displaced by Hitler and Mao have displaced 3-4 times as much human life as Hitler. These numbers shocked the world. However, Mao didn't want to change his ways. He only wants to hear people sucking up to him.

I personally would love to make a bull's-eye target mark in Mao's famous picture which is hung in the Tiananmen Square. I don't unders
