why don't you share your research or what is the number you have in your mind for pp who died during those years?

Okay, I am sick and tired of dealing with those mad dogs and cowards.
Let’s get back to some sensible discussion.
There is no officially published record (at least not I am aware of) to show the exact numbers of people died in the Great Leap Forward (GLP) and the Cultural Revolution (CR). I don’t think the CCP has it either due to the chaos at the time and CCP would prefer to downplay the memory of that dark era.
Based on what I know and was told by local Chinese survived in both GLP and CR. The number of people died in GLP is on a much greater scale compare to the number of CR.
In my opinion, the number died in CR is 20% or less of the number in GLP (there is no scientific proof, but just the number I chose to believe). The number of people died in GLP is a bit easier to be estimated since most of people died due to famine and there are some records can be traced back. If you have no objection to the 20% that I proposed, you can take this number to multiply whatever number of people died in GLP you choose to believe in to estimate the number of people died due to CR.
For example, if you believe people died in GLP is 100 million, then the number for CR will be 20 million which agrees with the number of the M boy posted earlier.
On the other hand, if you believe what Somewhereintime’s number of 50 million died in CR, then you must to believe there were 250 million died in GLP which is about 40% of China population at the time.
Do you think what I say here is reasonable? |
