| Message | I wish this hadn't been called Great Leap Forward. OOC: In real life, the Great Leap Forward killed an estimated 18 million to 32.5 million or 45 million people. And also, I wish that our nation did not involve themselves in Chinese Communism. It is very complicated here in Hong Kong and I don't want to go on a political rant on the Hong Kong government |
