     Not only production teams and communes but entire counties were declared corrupt and unstable. For example, the first secretary of Kuangshan county in calamity stricken Honan was cited as a typical bad element, and apparently all of Hsinyang special district where Kuangshan is located was endangered by widespread disturbances due to the activities of alleged class enemies.]

     In Henan’s Xinyang prefecture, one of the worst affected areas in the country, the Party Secretary Lu Xianwen would travel to local communes and order in advance elaborate banquets of twenty-four courses, according to Party documents. Only at the village level did the lowest officials such as production team leaders sometimes starve to death.

     Mr. Xi bowed in tribute at a memorial for 130,000 fighters from this area in central China who gave their lives for the Communist cause. But the estimated one million peasants who starved to death in Xinyang, after Mao’s Great Leap Forward spawned the biggest famine in modern times, went unnoted in official reports about the visit.
