Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine
''Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine'' is a book written by Jasper Becker, the Beijing bureau chief for the South China Morning Post. Becker argues that the American press reported the Great Chinese Famine with accuracy, but leftists and communist sympathisers such as Edgar Snow, Rewi Alley, and Anna Louise Strong, remained silent or played down its severity, when Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward had turned into a horrible tragedy. Becker concludes that the tragedy could have been averted after the first year if Mao's senior advisers had dared to confront him.
==People's communes==
Mao Zedong in 1958 declared that China would overtake Great Britain in 15 years (later on he changed it into 2 to 3 years), and the way to do it is by setting up thousands of People's commune, both in the country side and cities, where Chinese would live in semi-military condition, when the "family as an institution" would be discarded. At the beginning, the government promised its people that food would be supplied for free and in abundance in the communal canteen permanently, people started to eat all the grain, including the seeds. When the grain production began to go down, "In many parts of the country, around the Chinese New Year of 1959, starvation set in and the weak and the elderly began to die." 〔http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/02/16/reviews/970216.16ebersta.html The Great Leap Backward By Nicholas Eberstadt|New York Times〕
