"Am I ridiculous? Trying to change something that should be difficult to change is in vain to find trouble." Wu Ming smiled mockingly, looked up at the clear night sky, and thought to himself.

As the civil groups led by Tan Kah Kee visited New China, the civil exchanges between the two countries began a new stage, the trade volume was gradually rising, and the public opinion was also improving in increasing mutual understanding.

However, 1968 was destined to be a turbulent time.

First of all, due to insufficient understanding of the laws of socialist economic development and the basic situation of China's economy, insufficient experience in socialist construction, and Mao ZD and others grew pride and complacent in the face of victory, eager to achieve success, and exaggerated the role of subjective will and subjective efforts. Therefore, after the general line of socialist construction was proposed, the "Great Leap Forward" movement was launched without careful investigation and research.

As one of the crux of the "Great Leap Forward Movement", the "exaggeration style" first caused an unprecedented catastrophe at that time, which was the starvation of a large number of farmers. On the other hand, its impact was very far-reaching. In the decades after the Great Leap Forward, even to the present, in mainland society, it was mainly reflected in the political circle. In order to pursue political achievements, many party and government leaders, especially some major leaders, still used false data, such as fiscal revenue, total GDP, national income, and even family planning to play digital games.

During the Great Leap Forward, many false reports of output occurred. The most famous of them was Xushui County, Hebei Province, which claimed to harvest 1.2 billion jin of grain in a year. The People's Daily promoted this behavior. The national grain quota formulated in accordance with this report seriously exceeded the actual output. It was also the main reason for the subsequent famine.

The Great Leap Forward was originally a wonderful word for a Chinese who was once beaten for being behind. China is a big country and a poor country. Will it not be leap forward? The national leaders clearly realized this. Therefore, they attempted to change China's backward appearance through several movements and a few people-sea tactics. In a few years, they could surpass Britain, the United States and other countries. There is only one way, which is to mobilize the masses, make a Great Leap Forward. It is a successful experience in the war era. However, after entering the stage of economic construction, use the Great Leap Forward.

The method of mass movement is obviously not applicable. Because the economy develops according to the rules, it requires scientific management, strict process requirements, and various rules and regulations must be abide by. Only in this way can qualified products be produced, and can they continue to develop. Let the masses go. Excessive emphasis on giving full play to the enthusiasm of employees and disrupting various rules and systems. Facts have proved that good wishes cannot promote economic development. Only by respecting and mastering the laws of economic development, respecting science and technology, and relying on advanced management can the economy develop rapidly.

"Why are you in a daze again? Come here to have dinner." Huang Yushuang walked over with her three-year-old son in her arms and said with a smile: "Do your own business well, what are you thinking about these days?"

"It's time to eat!" Wu Ming stood up and smiled and touched the child's chubby face. "How can there be such a good thing in this world? Tomorrow I will ask the experts from the Academy of Sciences to plant a test field, use dense planting methods to deeply turn over the land, apply more fertilizer. Use a blower to ventilate the inside during the day, and then light the lights at night. I want to see how much pounds of this grain can be made."

"I'm full and full." Huang Yushuang gave him a blank look. "There is no way to learn the method, it sounds right."

"It sounds wrong. It's because your thoughts are not liberated. You must dare to think and do it." Wu Ming gently embraced Huang Yushuang's waist and walked towards the dining table. "Have you heard of it? You can only imagine that there is nothing you can't do. The bolder this person is, the more productive the land is."

"Nonsense." Huang Yushuang hugged the child and whispered to coax the child to eat.

"Yes, why do people believe this nonsense? No one publicly questioned it?" Wu Ming held his job and said in confusion: "This obvious fraud is not only not criticized, but also the major media are rushing to report it first and foremost!

"Is it a newspaper transferred from Hong Kong?" Huang Yushuang looked up and asked, "What's new about you so confused? If not, just ask Chen Yang, aren't their information quite accurate?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Wu Ming carefully looked at the rice in the bowl, shook his head with a wry smile.

"President, the special line from the White House." A guard knocked on the door and reported.

Wu Ming looked up at the watch on the wall, frowned and put down the bowl, muttering, "What happened again? It's so annoying."

On July 15, 1958, the US Marine Corps landed near Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, and interfered with the internal affairs of Lebanon and Iraq, and war ignited in the Middle East. The Taiwan authorities were waiting for an opportunity to counterattack the mainland. The United States reiterated its disagreement to recognize China and supported the Taiwan authorities to carry out war provocations in the Taiwan Strait. Against this backdrop, Mao ZD decided to shell Kinmen to activate the global strategic pattern and deter the stubborn forces of the United States and Chiang Kai-shek.

On the evening of July 18, Chairman Mao convened a meeting with the participation of Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Navy and Air Force leaders, and gave instructions to shell Kinmen: The Kinmen artillery battle is intended to attack the United States and support the Arab people's anti-aggression struggle.

On August 20, Mao Zedong decided to concentrate his forces immediately and suddenly and violently attack the Kinmen Kuomintang army without attacking Mazu, blocking it. On August 21, Mao Zedong held a meeting in Beidaihe and made the decision to launch a shelling Kinmen at 17:30 on August 23.
