Hello big guy, My view of history is that much of what happened and is happening may be "just is, or it would have happened another way, resulting in an alternate 'just is'". The issue of whether Mao was good or bad may not be the proper framing of a question for debate. The man was a politician, and therefore he was both, depending on who is talking at what time about which period on what issue. China was certainly in deep doodoo for 200+ years. Millions died. Just like the stock market frothing, a cleansing was probably called for and it landed on Mao’s shoulders to make the call. He did. Many died. He did again. Many more died. Wade’s family experience is one of a few hundred million similar episodes. His interpretation of family experience is his, and his alone. In the context of the historic period in question, no right, no wrong, and just is. Other families may have different takes on own respective family experiences, and again, meaning also, no right, no wrong, just is. Today, China is tentatively, step by step, recovering from a 300 year long bear market. Could China have gotten here by a route that circumnavigates Mao’s rise to power? Maybe, but then perhaps not. We will never know, because it all just is, and cannot be reversed, since we must move on. Chugs, Jay
