I am learning a lot. I am dividing the thread into a couple of
parts. This first one is about history issues of stoves in China.<br>
<br>
The Wikipedia article is informative. But not about stoves. Are
there writings about the "public kitchen" you mention or about stove
issues such as the smoke causing retaliation by the autorities?
Our focus is about stoves and fuels. I find this topic
interesting, but only as history. China has moved on since those
bleak years of 1959-61. <br>

about it. many details. it is called "Gong Chan Feng( wind
of Communism)" by my father and mother and their generation,
called "public kitchen" movement also, if any smoke arise in
any home, government officials would rush in and destroy the
stove, pots or dishes, these kind of thing is forbidden in
home, and all confiscated. in some villages, no one
survived everyone died, in silence. if there were some
smokeless clear-burn stove applied, maybe more people could
survive? actually, technology doesn't matter at all, in a
world of lies, technology only serves and helps lies.</span><br>
