Great leap forward is the name of China's second five-year plan (1958 - 62). The Great Leap Forward was born out of the patience for Mao's industrial and manufacturing growth (in his words "faster, faster, better, cheaper"). The first five-year plan succeeded in promoting rapid industrialization and increasing production, but Mao Zedong was skeptical of the economic development model of the Soviet Union. On the contrary, Mao Zedong supports the ideological transformation of economic policy, which will continue to be industrialized, but at the same time it will promote aggregation of agriculture. This may be due to Mao Zedong's questions about technology development, the possibilities of bourgeois 'expert' class, and increased inconsistency between urban and rural production. History has recorded great breakthrough as a disaster. It leads to economic stagnation, food shortage and famine, and countless deaths.

But for China, "leaps and bounds" is a very wonderful phrase.

In many other cases, the local party committee investigated the number of deaths immediately after the famine and calculated the size of terrorism.

In 1958, Mao Zedong began a great breakthrough which is the second five-year plan. This became Mao Zedong's biggest failure as the ruler of the Chinese Communist Party. The Great Leap Forward is well known in history for Great Leap Forward. Mao Zedong was surprised at the foolishness about the big leap, especially because Mao Zedong is often a farmer. The Great Leap Forward ultimately killed 20 to 30 million people due to supply shortages and famine related starvation and illness. Great breakthrough and cultural revolution were the biggest failures of Mao Zedong.
