Mao was the Chinese dictator many years ago, he lead the Great Leap Forward, and The Cultureal Revolution... Man people thought the Great Leap Forward, was not so great... Actually it took land from the poor and made unsuccessful farmland out of it... And because of that, he created the cultural revolution to fix it... that too was unuccessful, but many Chinese loved him and did believe he was great... But his BIG ideas hurt china..
I hope that helped!
