Have you met any survivor of Nanking Massacre?

I couldn't help come back when I saw this kind of childish argument appeared again. Did you get college education in China? If so then Chinese education these days is really in trouble. It's product can not use common sense logic. What good does it do if that's true?

The death data for the 1959-1961 period was collected shortly after it happened. The data was compiled into hard cover volumes for each perfecture (zhuang qu), and in each volume the death figures of each village, men or women and children, were given for each year. It is classified as TOP SECRET and printed no more than a few hundred copies.

Some day these official data (originally not meant to be scrutinized by the public) will become accessible to all. But the reliability is still in question, because it was not a good thing for local officials to report large number of "abnormal deaths."

In the decades after these deaths, it's a taboo to be mentioned. Enlisted PLA soldiers would not be promoted to officers if their families had "abnormal deaths" because they were considered potentially unreliable. In the "culture revolution" when peasants were asked to recall what they suffered before the liberation, they often remembered the "abnormal death" period instead.

Finally a few words that may make some people angry. CCP has been a compulsory lier and still is(KMT was in the same category, but not at the same level in competency). Look at the events in the past couple of weeks, then you will understand.
