Question
This man’s government used a bench in a propaganda photo of children supposedly standing atop a thickly planted wheat field. The oral history The Corpse Walker and the pseudonymous T.P. Sym’s Scarlet Memorial both documented the rule of this leader, which was also analyzed in Frank Dikötter’s (“dee-KUHT-er’s”) The Tragedy of Liberation. The book Tombstone connects the overreporting of crops planted with “deep plowing” during this leader’s tenure, which also saw accusations of (*) mass cannibalism, to his concept of the “General Line,” one of his Three Red Banners. The “three years of natural disasters” during this man’s rule were partly caused by his campaign against the Four Pests, like sparrows, and attempts to switch peasants to metal production. For 10 points, name this leader of China in the Cultural Revolution. ■END■
