The campaign was led by Chairman Mao Zedong and aimed to rapidly transform the country from an agrarian economy into a socialist society through rapid industrialization and collectivization . However, it is widely considered to have caused the Great Chinese Famine . </P> <P> Chief changes in the lives of rural Chinese included the incremental introduction of mandatory agricultural collectivization . Private farming was prohibited, and those engaged in it were persecuted and labeled counter-revolutionaries . Restrictions on rural people were enforced through public struggle sessions and social pressure, although people also experienced forced labor . Rural industrialization, officially a priority of the campaign, saw "its development...aborted by the mistakes of the Great Leap Forward ." </P>
