The Great Leap Forward was initiated and driven by Mao Zedong. It ran roughly from 1958 to 1962 and aimed at rapid industrialization and collectivization of agriculture; it resulted in economic breakdown and a catastrophic famine that caused millions of deaths.
Deng Xiaoping was not responsible for the Great Leap Forward. He was purged during parts of the Mao era and later (from 1978 onward) led China’s reform and opening-up policies that reversed many of Mao’s economic approaches.
