MODERATORS
Have you gone and asked them? Because last time I checked the majority of Chinese love Mao. They also have positive views on socialism and their socialist government.
Yes, I spend more than half of my life in China.
I was taught about culture revolution, the land reform movement, the great leap forward, and the great Chinese famine in Chinese classrooms and by my parents and grandparents who experienced most of them in person.
I am guessing that you grandparents were landlords or political dissidents?
Nope, they are not, neither landlord nor even activist. They are victims, normal people struggling to live their lives. Like millions of others that we see in class.
They are not even the biggest victim, since I am still here. Like I said, countless people died during these time, including successful scientists, journalists, researchers, writers, musicians, athletes, intellectuals, doctors, politicians, generals, people with extraordinary contributions to the country and its people. These are even taught in Chinese classrooms.

Beijing.
