I bet you have illusion. But most readers don't know and believe what you said.
Trust me, there's NO dead people on street in big cities. The only time I've seen was in a small town an old homeless people died overnight very close to a bus station. But covered with some bed sheet quickly. Any rational person will tell me: "You haven't seen doesn't mean there's NONE". Let me tell you why that can not happen: All the Chinese government officials are desperately avoid losing face. So that can not happen.
What I said that's your illusion is based on an naive assumption that you didn't fabricate a story. There are many readers familiar with Chinese society and how it works here in HN.
update: for some typos and errors
- kkarakk 9y agohttp://www.virtualshanghai.net/Texts/Articles?ID=76 http://www.virtualshanghai.net/Texts/Articles?ID=76 here's a paper from 2009 that directly contradicts you. why do you feel the need to bring nationality into the discussion? you think mentioning that there are a lot of chinese on hackernews will silence the facts? your data is as anecdotal as his but i've found a paper that contradicts you
- capsulehotel 9y agoHere's a paper from 2009 about 1950s and earlier China long before economic reforms that totally contradicts you... not... Try harder bro...

- jjcc 9y agoI guess you didn't read the paper. All the artical is about the era of republican-China (i.e before 1949) except only one partial data (total death number) of 50-51. The data about "Number of exposed corpses and abandoned coffins" even only before 1938. What doesn't that mean? That means you provide some evidence that inderectly support the idea that a govenment of "None-Regime" with less control over its citizen's life similar to India could cause many abandoned dead people. The republican-China before 1949 was the one that overthrowned by currrent "regime". The one that was thrown happened to be more like India in many ways excpet at that time there was no real election yet. The same "Republic of China" still exist today. It's formal name of Taiwan. There are NO long time exposed dead people in normal place in China. I mean NONE, not few vs many. The story of above ID is totally fake. I believe there are NO long exposed dead people in Taiwan today either. But before 1949 it was a weak government managed a much larger population with much much less control compare to today's "Regime-China"
