this article's description is accurate
by LLWu

I was born in the middle of 1960s in China. When I was a teenager in early late 1970s, my parents told me their own experience during the great famine. They described people developing edema due to malnutrition. During the years I studied in college, I read multiple in depth articles in magazines revealing the real cause of the famine. I realized that it had almost nothing to do with natural disasters. Just like Post-Stalin Soviet government criticized Stalin, the post-Mao Chinese government allowed and propelled much of the reexamination of Mao's legacy. That was more than twenty years ago. When I moved to US in 1989, I pretty much knew everything about China's post1949 history. In the years living in US, I have not learned anything new about post 1949 China history.

Where are you from? What city? What province? Were your parents subsistence farmers or something else, like former landlords or rurual workers?

Curious minds want to know -- because you know, we get the same rant here, Lenin murdered, Stalin murdered, Mao murdered, Pol Pot murdered, Putin murders, blah blah blah, its the same stupid frigging routine and its getting very, very old.

Lies are terrible things, God NEVER lies, and lies are always revealed.
