The fact that tens of millions of civilians lost their lives under his reign is attributed to the 30% of things he did wrong. For 70% of all of Mao's actions were good according to official statements. Risking his own life, Ruben tries to swim across the Yangtze as Mao used to do on television and has meeting with China's most famous Mao Zedong impersonator. Afterwards he visits a community of fishermen that now live in a -Kevin Costner like Waterworld- village on the shallow Honshu lake. These fisherman fled the famine Mao created after he declared sparrows to be a plague, thoroughly disrupting ecology and agriculture. |
