think about how big china is; its a billion+ people

now imagine what mao came into post-revolution

tens of thousands of villages who where still used to feudal slavery, most without even running water nevermind electricty

they had to go village to village and force the patriarchs to stop enslaving women, this was the cultural revolution; people died, but those who disavow this never mention why they where doing it.

women had there feet bound at birth and where not allowed to leave there masters house.
