What was one 'hundred flower movement' ?
Why did it fail ?

Answer

An important development in China was the 'Hundred Flowers Movement'. It started with a slogan of Mao, 'Make a Hundred -Flower Bloom,' as he wanted to be seen as a leader who was open to new ideas and a bit of liberal.


Some people, unhappy with the ways of communist dictatorship though this to be a genuine attempt at dialogue or reconciliation. When they started criticising Mao did not tolerate this and that was the end of that high-sounding movement.
