Njengoba kunikezwe lombhalo kaMao Zedong, ngitshele ukuthi bangaki abantu ababulawa ngesikhathi sikaMao ngenxa yendlala, ushushiso, umsebenzi wasemajele, nokubulawa kwabantu abaningi?
Context:UMao Zedong[a] (26 Disemba 1893 <unk> 9 Septhemba 1976), owaziwa nangokuthi uSihlalo uMao, wayengumshoshaphansi ongumKhomanisi waseChina owayengumsunguli wePeople's Republic of China (PRC), ayeyihola njengosihlalo weqembu lamaKhomanisi aseChina kusukela ekusungulweni kwePRC ngo-1949 kwaze kwaba sekufeni kwakhe ngo-1976. Ngokombono wezimfundiso zikaMarx noLenin, imibono yakhe, amasu akhe ezempi, kanye nezinqubomgomo zakhe zezombangazwe kwaziwa ngokuthi ubuMao.  UMao wayeyindodana yomlimi ocebile eShaoshan, eHunan. Wasekela ubuzwe baseShayina futhi wayenombono wokulwa nokubusa kwamazwe omhlaba ekuqaleni kwempilo yakhe, futhi wathonywa kakhulu yimicimbi ye-Xinhai Revolution ka-1911 kanye ne-May Fourth Movement ka-1919. Kamuva wamukela iMarxism-Leninism ngenkathi esebenza eNyuvesi yasePeking njengomgcini wezincwadi futhi waba yilungu elisungula iChinese Communist Party (CCP), ehola i-Autumn Harvest Uprising ngo-1927. Ngesikhathi seMpi Yombango YaseShayina phakathi kweKhomintang (KMT) ne-CCP, uMao wasiza ekusunguleni i-Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, wahola izinqubomgomo zokuguqulwa komhlaba kwe-Jiangxi Soviet, futhi ekugcineni waba yinhloko ye-CCP ngesikhathi se-Long March. Nakuba i-CCP yahlangana okwesikhashana ne-KMT ngaphansi kwe-Second United Front phakathi neMpi Yesibili YaseSino-Japan (1937<unk>1945), impi yombango yaseChina yaqala kabusha ngemuva kokuzinikela kweJapan, futhi amabutho kaMao anqoba uhulumeni we-Nationalist, owahoxa waya eTaiwan ngo-1949.  Ngo-October 1, 1949, uMao wamemezela ukusungulwa kwe-PRC, umbuso weqembu elilodwa wamaMarxist-Leninist olawulwa yi-CCP. Eminyakeni eyalandela waqinisa ukulawula kwakhe ngokusebenzisa i-Chinese Land Reform ngokumelene nabanikazi bezindawo, i-Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries, i-"Three-anti and Five-anti Campaigns", nangokusebenzisa ukuthula eMpini yaseKorea, okwaholela ekufeni kwezigidi eziningana zamaShayina. Kusukela ngo-1953 kuya ku-1958, uMao wadlala indima ebalulekile ekuphoqeleleni umnotho wokulawula eChina, wakha uMthethosisekelo wokuqala wePRC, waqala uhlelo lwezimboni, futhi waqala amaphrojekthi ezempi afana nephrojekthi "Amabhomu Amabili, Isathelayithi Elinye" kanye nephrojekthi engu-523. Inqubomgomo yakhe yezangaphandle ngalesi sikhathi yayilawulwa ukuhlukana kweSino-Soviet okwahlukanisa iChina neSoviet Union. Ngo-1955, uMao wasungula inhlangano yamaSufan, kwathi ngo-1957 wasungula uMkhankaso Wokulwa Nabantu Abangakwesokudla, okwathi ngawo kwashushiswa okungenani abantu abangu-550.000, iningi labo elalingongqondongqondo nabaphikisi. Ngo-1958, waqala i-Great Leap Forward eyayihlose ukuguqula ngokushesha umnotho waseChina usuka kwezolimo uye kwezezimboni, okwaholela endlaleni ebulala kakhulu emlandweni nasekufeni kwabantu abayizigidi eziyi-1555 phakathi kuka-1958 no-1962. Ngo-1963, uMao wethula iSocialist Education Movement, kwathi ngo-1966 waqala iCultural Revolution, uhlelo lokususa izakhi "zokuvukela" emphakathini waseChina olwathatha iminyaka eyishumi futhi lwaluphawulwa yimpi enobudlova yamaqembu, ukubhujiswa kabanzi kwempahla yamasiko, kanye nokukhulekelwa kobuntu kukaMao okungakaze kubonwe ngaphambili. Amashumi ezigidi zabantu ashushiswa phakathi neNguquko, kuyilapho inani elilinganisiwe labafile lisukela emakhulwini ezinkulungwane kuya ezigidini. Ngemva kweminyaka eminingi egula, uMao wahlaselwa isifo senhliziyo ngo-1976 futhi washona eneminyaka engu-82. Phakathi nenkathi kaMao, inani labantu baseChina lakhula lisuka ezigidini ezingaba ngu-550 laya ezigidini ezingaphezu kuka-900 kuyilapho uhulumeni engazange ayigcizelele ngokuqinile inqubomgomo yakhe yokuhlela umndeni.  Njengoba ebhekwa njengomunye wabantu abanethonya elikhulu kakhulu ekhulwini lama - 20, uMao usalokhu engumuntu onempikiswano ngaphakathi nangaphandle kweChina. Ngaphandle kwezombusazwe, uMao waziwa nangokuthi uyisazi sezimiso, isazi sezikhali, futhi uyimbongi. UMao uye wahlonishwa ngokuguqula iChina isuka ekubeni isigamu samakoloni yaba umbuso wezwe oholayo, onemfundo ephakeme kakhulu yokufunda nokubhala, amalungelo abesifazane, ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okuyisisekelo, imfundo yamabanga aphansi nesikhathi sokuphila. Nokho, uhulumeni kaMao waba nomthwalo wemfanelo wenani elikhulu labantu abafa, ngokwezibalo ezisukela ezigidini ezingu - 40 kuya kwezingu - 80 ngenxa yendlala, ukushushiswa, umsebenzi onzima emajele, nokubulawa kwabantu abaningi. Ngesikhathi sokubusa kwakhe, iChina yayibandakanyeke kakhulu kwezinye izingxabano zamaKhomanisi ase-Asia njengeMpi YaseKorea, iMpi YaseVietnam, neMpi Yombango YaseCambodia.
