How did Mao manage to kill ~78 million people?
Wasn't Mao worshiped by many Chinese people during his time in power?
Yes, Mao was widely revered as a hero by many Chinese people, in part due to his role in the Chinese Revolution and his ability to unite the country. However, this cult of personality also made it difficult for people to criticize him or his policies, which contributed to the violence and death toll during his reign.
