Description
Mao's last sparrow
Since I came back from my trip to Beijing, I had been reading books on China. There is one book I finished lately called �lost planet China�, in it mentioned Mao has ordered to kill off China�s sparrows as they eat grains. After all the sparrows were killed, the locust populations ballooned with no sparrows to eat them. They swarming the country and the famine followed which last for three years.and million of people die of it. This reminded me of the sparrows around the lotus pond at one former Palace now been renamed as working people�s cultural palace.
