Base your answer to question 27 on the passage below and on your knowledge of social studies.
In an attempt to break with the Russian model of Communism and to catch up with more advanced nations, Mao proposed
that China should make a “great leap forward” into modernization. He began a militant Five Year Plan to promote
technology and agricultural self-sufficiency. Overnight, fertile rice fields were ploughed over, and factory construction work
began. Labor-intensive methods were introduced and farming collectivized on a massive scale. The campaign created about
23,500 communes, each controlling its own means of production. But former farmers had no idea how to actually use the
new factories and what was once fertile crop land went to waste on a disastrous scale. The Great Leap Forward was held
responsible for famine in 1960 and 1961. Twenty million people starved, and Mao Zedong withdrew temporarily from
public view.
