The 36 million in a sense murdered by Mao and the Chinese communist leadership. Here’s my original post which attempted to visualize the number using our Vietnam War memorial as a prop, a post most important for its links to the must-see documentary China: The Mao Years. That post was on the occasion of the English publication of the important book: Tombstone: The Great Chinese Famine by Yang Jisheng.
This week, I notice there is a fine new article on the book by professor Arthur Waldron in The New Criterion . (H/T Powerline)
36 million. It’s a number to remember.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
