What was the goal of Mao Zedong's Great Leap Frog?

Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward, initiated in 1958, aimed to rapidly transform China from an agrarian society into a socialist society through industrialization and collectivization. The campaign sought to boost agricultural and industrial production by establishing large collective farms and promoting backyard steel production. However, it resulted in widespread famine, economic turmoil, and the deaths of millions, ultimately failing to achieve its ambitious goals.
