Question

This man’s government used a bench in a propaganda photo of children supposedly standing atop a thickly planted wheat field. (15[1])The oral history (15[3])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 (15[1])(“dee-KUHT-er’s”) The Tragedy of Liberation. (15[4]-5[1])The book (15[1])Tombstone connects the overreporting of crops planted with “deep plowing” during this leader’s tenure, (15[1])which also saw accusations of (*) mass cannibalism, (-5[1])to his concept (-5[1])of the “General Line,” one of his Three Red Banners. (10[1])The “three years of natural disasters” during this man’s rule (10[1])were partly caused by his campaign against the Four Pests, (10[6])like (10[2])sparrows, and attempts (10[1])to switch peasants to metal production. For 10 points, name this leader of China in the Cultural Revolution. (10[3])■END■
