Dao County massacre (1967)
On the Mao’s China map as “Dao county”
Aug–Oct 1967 — Claiming a plot by “class enemies”, local militia and officials in Dao county, Hunan, killed 4,193 people in about two months and drove 326 to suicide. Children were among the dead. Most victims came from families labeled landlord or rich peasant. An official investigation in 1984–86 counted more than 9,000 dead across Lingling prefecture.
