What did Mao do to make the people of China hate him?

Mao Zedong's policies, such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, led to widespread suffering, famine, and social upheaval in China. The Great Leap Forward resulted in the deaths of millions due to starvation and poor agricultural practices. The Cultural Revolution intensified social chaos, targeting intellectuals and perceived enemies, which alienated many citizens. These drastic measures greatly undermined public trust and contributed to widespread resentment against his leadership.
