Crop production was also affected by the deployment of farmers in backyard steel production and mass labor projects. Like the construction of roads, large-scale irrigation projects, dam building and the construction of the new Tiananmen Square in Beijing. This caused lacking in the fields such as planting crops and even harvesting crops. Leading to the agriculture rates going down.
I'm not sure what's going to happen anymore.
What will happen to crops now without the necessary tools?
Lack of Food/Starvation
Mao said, “communism means eating for free,” and communal dining halls allowed the government to control all aspects of food distribution and consumption. Many people did not like the public dining halls and there were issues with food supply. Once fields were failing to produce food, communal kitchens were soon out of food since it was all for free.
I'm sorry ma'am but we're all out of food!
This is outrageous! We're hungry!
I'm starving...
Millions of Deaths in China
Millions of people died by starvation, exposure, overworking, and execution. State retribution for tiny thefts, such as stealing a potato, even by a child, would include being tied up and thrown into a pond; parents were forced to bury their children alive or were doused in excrement and urine, others were set alight, or had a nose or ear cut off. One record show how a man was branded with hot metal. People were forced to work naked in the middle of winter; 80 percent of all the villagers in one region of a quarter of a million Chinese were banned from the official canteen because they were too old or ill to be effective workers, so were deliberately starved to death.
My child is dead! All he wanted to do was to eat!
My friend was tortured just for trying to sneak food back for his kids.
The Great Leap Forward was known as “one of the worst catastrophes the world has ever known.” The Great Leap Forward ended up being a failure. Millions of people died by starvation, exposure, overworking, and execution. It broke families apart, sending men, women, and children to different locations, and destroyed traditional communities and ways of life. Farmland was damaged by new agricultural practices and the landscape got rid of trees to fuel the steel furnaces. 30% to 40% of the housing stock was demolished to obtain raw materials for collective projects. In the industry, huge quantities of capital goods and raw materials were consumed in projects that had no additional output of final goods.
The End of The Great Leap Forward
This was hell. I'm glad it's over!
