  • In the year 1958, #Mao Zedong Chairman of Chinese Communist Party launched a campaign “Great Leap forward” . In which one of the first actions taken - the Four Pests campaign. The campaign drive was to eliminate four pests, viz. rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows.
    Also known as “Smash Sparrow”, this campaign was the worst ecological disaster known to mankind. Mao felt that sparrows ate too much grain and China could do without such pests. Thus, he decreed that all sparrows be killed.
    Sparrow nests were destroyed, 🥚eggs were broken, and chicks were killed. Millions of people organized into groups, and hit noisy pots and pans to prevent sparrows from resting in their nests, with the goal of causing them to drop dead from exhaustion. citizens also simply shot the birds down from the sky.
    There is no official estimate as to how many sparrows were killed as a part of this campaign, but since the “People’s Republic” mobilized people of the country to eradicate birds, we can easily estimate that even if everyone person killed at least one sparrow each, more than 600 million sparrows would have been killed, making it an extinct bird in China
    But within a year, China realized that sparrows ate not only grain but also pests, for example, they ate 🦗locusts. Chinese agriculture was hit badly with an exponential rise in 🐛insect infestations, including locust attacks. There were no sparrows left to predate them.
    A famine naturally followed and people simply ran out of 🍜food. Even according to the conservative official estimates, 15 million people ☠️died, while some scholars peg the number of actual fatalities as high as 45 or even 78 million.

    why didn't someone tell Mao that killing the sparrows was a bad idea

    • @ChinuMeenu
      @ChinuMeenu  6 месяцев назад

      Mao was a dictator whose policies were also responsible for a vast number of deaths, with estimates ranging from 40 to 80 million victims due to starvation, persecution, prison labor, and mass executions, and his government has been described as totalitarian.

    So is this the reason many people in China started eating all kinds of animals/insects etc as back then they had no other options 😟

    • @ChinuMeenu
      @ChinuMeenu  2 года назад +1

      By late 1959 food shortages of critical and signs of famine were visible in many Chinese provinces. The peasants tried to survive by seeking alternative food sources and even resorting to acts of cannibalism.
