Please, go to China, talk to some Chinese. If you like China so much, you need to go visit and learn if it is really that good.

Countless people died from culture revolution, great leap forward, and the great Chinese famine. Go to China and ask people on the street about them, please.

If you are too busy to go to China, read about it on Chinese social media, Chinese books:

• zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/637987822
• 活着 by 余华, one of the top seller in China depicting life during these times: you can buy it on amazon www.amazon.com/余华-长篇小说-套装共4册/dp/B018PQGZ2C , it also have the high score of 9.4 on douban, and is the second top rated books of all the books on douban book.douban.com/subject/4913064/

But I still recommend you go just go to China if you love it so much. Immerse yourself in the culture and talk to locals, learn about them.
