The Great Leap Forward (大跃进)
Description
An account of the resource
The ‘Great Leap Forward’ is a term used to denote Mao’s Second Five Year Plan which was anticipated to run from 1958-1963. The main impetus behind the Great Leap was to ‘catch-up’ with the industrialised economies of the West and transform China into a collectivised society based on socialist principles. The Great Leap equally emerged from Mao’s Anti-Rightist campaign as a re-assertion of his authority in the wake of the Hundred Flowers Movement which allowed criticism of the regime. Whilst the first five-year plan certainly succeeded in forging economic growth, the subsequent great leap was overambitious, triggering the greatest famine in human history. The plan was abandoned in 1961.

Subject
The topic of the resource
Chiang Kai-Shek during the Great Leap Forward.
Description
An account of the resource
Whilst Taiwan was portrayed as an economic backwater by the CCP during the Great Leap Forward, Chiang Kai-Shek refuted this during the Great Famine by airdropping grain supplies to mainland China. Aware the nation was in crisis, Chiang also hatched plans to invade the mainland but these never came to fruition, mainly due to a lack of US support. Taiwan would soon begin to focus its energies on economic development rather than the hope of a Nationalist reunification.

Description
An account of the resource
Peng Dehuai was one of the few high-ranking Communist Party officials to voice his misgivings about the Great Leap Forward. Mao purged him from the party and during the Cultural Revolution he endured public humiliation and torture as this photograph attests to. Peng was exonerated by the Chinese Communist party in 1978 after his death.

Mass Poetry During the Great Leap Forward
Description
An account of the resource
Selection of mass poems collected by Chen:
In Heaven there is no Jade Emperor. Nor is there a Dragon King in the sea.
I am the Jade Emperor,
I am the Dragon King. Hoy, you Three Sacred Mountains and Five Holy Peaks, Make way!
Here I come.
We worship no god, nor temples build, Chairman Mao's love is greater manifold. Gods we destroy, and temples tear down,
Better than gods we worship the One Man. Mountains may shake, earth may quake but we dare not forget what the Chairman said.
Each year our farm production grows,
Grains and cotton pile up mountain high, Hurrah! Eat the grains, but don't forget the sower,
The Communist Party's our dear Ma and Pa.
Two full baskets I carry on a pole,
How their weight makes the pole bend; But my dear wife, you come and see, I'm carrying a mountain at each end.

Communal Canteens
Description
An account of the resource
Communal canteens were rolled out as a way to control food supplies, disrupt the family unit, increase surveillance and forge a collectivist mentality. All food supplies went to canteens and individuals were not allowed to either store their own food or cook for themselves. Due to mismanagement of supplies, the communal canteens were a contributing factor to the great famine.
