The narrative explores the devastating impact of the Great Leap Forward in late 1950s and early 1960s China, which led to a catastrophic famine resulting in the deaths of over thirty million people. It highlights the tragic consequences of Chairman Mao Zedong's misguided policies, illustrating how his utopian vision turned into a historical disaster, driven not by natural calamities but by human error and political ideology.
