This book discusses about what is often called the “Great Leap Famine”, which occurred in China during the years from 1959 to 1961. Scholarly consensus suggests that 30 million Chinese perished. Yang Songlin's book provides an evidence-based, systematic and substantial rebuff, concluding on a much smaller number of deaths. This book is of interest to scholars of China and Chinese development and politics, economists, and demographers. Yang Songlin has worked as a senior researcher at the Provincial Development Research Center of Henan and the Institute of Chinese Economic Systemic Reform in Beijing. His focus of research is on political economy and social history. He has published many papers, and his books include An Economic History of Henan (Kaifeng: Henan People’s Publisher, 1988), West China: New Direction of Development and Reform (Beijing: Current Affairs Press, 1988); Economic Development at the County Level (Kaifeng: Henan People’s Publisher, 1992); Dao and Tianxia: Debates on Issues concerning Contemporary World (Hong Kong: Dafeng Publisher, 2008); and The Truth Must be Told (Haikou: Nanhai Publishing Co., 2013).
