The Hundred Flowers Campaign was one of the first bad moves from Mao and one of the first ways Mao turned to be 70% bad. The Hundred Flowers Campaign was a movement from Mao that launched an anti-rightist campaign and sent tons more people to be re-educated by the peasants and eliminated intellectuals (Green…
