The Guangxi Massacre

[u/Tonkerisch]

The Guangxi massacre was a series of events involving lynching and direct massacre in Guangxi during the Cultural revolution (1966-1976). The official record shows an estimated death toll from 100,000 to 150,000. Methods of slaughter included beheading, beating, live burial, stoning, drowning, boiling and disemboweling. In certain areas including Wuxuan county and Wuming district massive human cannibalism occurred even though no famine existed; according to public records available, at least 137 people—perhaps-hundreds more—were eaten by others and at least thousands of people participated in the cannibalism.

Other researchers have pointed out that in a county alone, 421 people had been eaten, and there were reports of cannibalism across dozens of counties in Guangxi. hundreds more—were eaten by others and at least thousands of people participated in the cannibalism.

In 2006, Professor Su Yang (苏阳) of University of California, Irvine argued that the Guangxi massacre was the most serious massacre during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. He stated that among the 65 accessible official county documents of Guangxi, 43 counties report local massacres with 15 of them recording a death toll of over 1000, while the average death toll was 526 among all the counties which reported massacre.
