aug 23, 1960 - One Hundred Flowers Campaign

Description:

The Hundred Flowers Campaign was a campaign where the Chinese Communist Party became open to criticism, opinions, and recommendation from intellects, regardless if they were communists or not. It allowed for more freedom of speech and thought. The name came from a famous Chinese phrase, “Let a hundred flowers bloom, and a hundred schools of thought contend.”
