In this episode, we explore how Chairman Mao's ambitious Great Leap Forward campaign led to one of history's deadliest famines, resulting in the deaths of 15 to 30 million Chinese citizens. We discuss the catastrophic consequences of ideological extremism, impossible quotas, and the disconnect between utopian visions and grim realities in China from 1958 to 1962.
