THE BIGGEST QUESTION FACING CHINA WAS WHAT TO DO AFTER THE DEATH OF
MAO?
SHOULD WE LET SOME CAPITALISM IN LIKE THE “RIGHTISTS” WANT? (LIKE DENG XIAPOING)
OR SHOULD WE STAY IDEOLOGICALLY COMMUNIST AND PURE LIKE THE “LEFTISTS” WANT? (MAO’S WIFE, HUA)
THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION:THE KILLING OF MILLIONS OF ANTI-
COMMUNISTS, TEACHERS, CAPITALIST AND INTELLECTUALS
THE RED GUARDS 5 MILLIONDEAD!
THE YOUNG PIONEERS
THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD
1958 12-YEAR PLAN THAT COLLECTIVIZED ALL THE FARMS.
IT RESULTED IN A FAMINE THAT KILLED 20 MILLION CHINESE
ZHOU ENLAI: MAO’S PRIME MINISTER AND A PRAGMATIC “RIGHTIST”.
- IN FAVOR OF SMALL, INDIVIDUAL PLOTS FOR FARMERS
DENG WAS HIS DUDE!!!
THE “RIGHTIST”: LIKE DENG XIAOPING- IN FAVOR OF SOME CAPITALISM- IN FAVOR OF SOME REFORM- MORE PRACTICAL
THE LEFTISTS: LIKE MAO’S WIFE AND THE GANG OF 4- MUCH MORE COMMUNIST- MUCH MORE HARD LINE- MORE REVOLUTIONARY, “MAOIST” AND
IDEOLOGICALLY PURE
DENG XIAOPING:
THE GANG OF 4:
ZHOU ENLAIN THE PRIME MINISTER DIES IN 1976:
HUA GOEFING, NOT DENG, REPLACES HIM.
A LEFTIST BUT NOT LIKE THE GANG OF 4!
THE APRIL 5TH MOVEMENT PAGE 218:
DEFIANT PROTESTERS WANTED TO SHOW THEIR SADNESS AT THE DEATH OF ZHOU, AND THEIR DISPLEASURE WITH THE CHOOSING OF HUA.
HUA RESIGNS IN 1982 AND DENG BECOMES “THE MAN”
HUA COMES UP WITH THE 2 WHATEVERS "We will resolutely uphold whatever policy decisions Chairman Mao made, and unswervingly follow whatever instructions Chairman Mao gave“
DENG XIAOPING WAS CAREFUL NOT TO UPSET THE MAOISTS TOO MUCH. AT THE SAME TIME,
THOUGH, HE WAS CRITICAL OF THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD AND THE CULTURAL RVEOLUTION. JUST
BLAMING THEM ON MAO’S WIFE INSTEAD.
THE 4 MODERNIZATIONS
AGRICULTURE
