The answer is true.The Great Leap Forward was an economic and social campaign that began in the 1950s and sought to change China from an agrarian economy into a modern society. It was an effort made by the Communist Party of China (CPC) under the leadership of Mao Zedong, also known as Mao Tse-tung, to transform China into a society capable of competing with other Western industrialized nations, within a short time period. In January 1958, the Great Leap Forward, the second in China's series of five-year plans, was launched and millions of Chinese citizens were moved to communes to work on farms or in manufacturing. Private farming was prohibited. Hope this helps! ~ Autumn :)
