China

The Great Tribulation of China in 1959 to 1961 was a period of severe economic hardship.
The reasons for the difficulties are:
First, at that time, the country prevailed in the "exaggerated wind", "great leap forward", "put satellite", and put forward a lot of unrealistic production slogans, such as "how bold people are, how big the land is," "three years of super-English, In the past five years, the United States has been arbitrarily reporting the output and the higher the per-mu yield of the land, resulting in more food and less food left by farmers.

Put forward the "eight-character policy of "adjustment, development, consolidation, improvement". The economy began to improve the official statistics of the death toll of 30 million
