All my life i was brought up to believe there was no such place as the afterlife but now I'm here it's fantastic, no crop failures or five-year plans and only the best and brightest of mankind make it here so i wasn't expect to see so many Americans or French.Considering i was a history teacher, run a book club and wrote poetry, i wasn't the first person you would think of to bring forth a revolution but i was inspired by Marxist literature such as The Communist Manifesto and my hero's included George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte and led the revolution to overthrow the regime, promising to turn China into a red, prosperous utopia in my time. Well it was certainly red.
On the death of Stalin, i became the Worlds forthright Communist and launched the Anti-Rightist Campaign, which persecuted at least 550,000 Capitalist pig dogs and put into effect my great plan, the Great Leap Forward that aimed to rapidly transform China's economy from agrarian to industrial.
We built Tractors as far as the eye could see, with hindsight maybe the fields of wheat should have come first but we live and learn, those that lived anyway.
It led to the deadliest famine in history and the deaths of 20–45 million Chinese comrades which was a set back but it modernised the nation and built it into a world power while promoting the status of women, improving education and health care, as well as increasing life expectancy of the average Chinese, the ones who survived obviously but there was a billion Chinese and it stopped talk of the One Child policy.
My rule was called autocratic and totalitarian, and condemned for bringing about mass repression and destroying religious and cultural artifacts and sites and suppressing any negative press.
Not sure how they came to that conclusion, nobody read that in a newspaper and it definitely wasn't reported on television.
