I taught world history today,and I resarched chinese history.it is very difficult,however it is very interesting! I resarched about dinasty mao!so i will talk about mao in this blog today!I believe that Chinese workers and peasants supported Mao and communism in 1949, because communism was good for them. It is said that communism does not work now, because it does not esteem the individual. Even if you work harder than the other, you can get the same income as the others. However, communism has good side; everybody is equal. Therefore, low-class people like workers and peasant were happy to live in communism. They thought that they could have better life thanks to Mao. Also, he took the land from landowners and gave the poor people, so peasants could make lots of crops and profit. This is also one of the reasons that workers and peasants supported Mao and communism in 1949.
Why did most Chinese continue to support Mao and communism in the 1950s and 1960s? First, he kept giving the land to the poor people as I mentioned it above, so many peasants could get married and produced a lot of children. As the result, the population of Chinese got larger and it helped to develop the industry in China. Second, he used the power of terror to control people in China. In 1956s, the act that wise people criticize the Mao’s thought and communism was becoming popular. Mao got angry with this, and defeated many people who complained about Mao. People were so scared that nobody could say truth. The only thing they did was follow what Mao said even if it seemed to be wrong.
Mao wanted China to become an advanced, industrial, socialist nation, but it had never become so during Mao’s life. I believe that he failed because he tried to achieve his goal using the force. When he tried to improve the industry in China, he changed everything too much rapidly, so the balance of the budget became unstable. Also, the population was getting larger, so the lack of food was the serious problem in China. Therefore, he made the field to grow the crops and encouraged the farming, but it could not solve the problem completely. Also, he tried to make lots of iron. To make iron, Chinese people threw any stuff made of iron into the fire. The iron was awful and useless. Too many people worked as the iron maker, so there were not enough people who make food. And people went starving. That is why Mao failed his plan.

Communism is always bad for a country. The Chinese have been successful only when they have ignored Communistic ideas and done things that actually work in the real world.
