The Great Leap Forward, initiated by Mao Zedong in 1958, aimed to rapidly industrialize China and boost agricultural production through collective farming. However, it led to widespread famine, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 15 to 45 million people due to poor planning, over-reporting of grain production, and the disruption of agricultural practices. The campaign ultimately failed to achieve its economic goals, causing severe social and economic repercussions that hindered China's development for years. It also prompted a reevaluation of economic policies within the Communist Party.
