Cannibalism as medicine
Cannibalism for ideological purposesEdit
There have been some reports of cannibalism for ideological reasons during the Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward. The most well documented example is in the village of Wuxuan, Guangxi Autonomous Region where in the local officials began to practise cannibalism between May and July 1968 during the Cultural Revolution, resulting in the imprisonment of 15 local officials. Although the Party and the relatives of the victims are aware of this, it has yet to be made public in China. In 1986 and 1988, Zheng Y (Cheng I), a former Red Guard and the author of Scarlet Memorial, went down to Guangxi where he obtained documents detailing the cannibalism. “For the first time in our long history Chinese ate people, not because there was a famine and they were starving to death, but for political reasons. I think thousands participated in the cannibalism and at least many hundreds were eaten. The Party knows all about it,” said Zheng.[10] According to Cheng, hundreds of men, women, and children deemed enemies of the Revolution were killed and eaten by the perpetrators, who even gave comments on the best way of preparing the meat - apparently by broiling not boiling.[11

Who knows that two history facts about Chinese cannibalism?
1)One Chinese rich man invited his friend to eat his servants (2 young boys).
Then the other invited his friend to eat his female servant. I think it happened in the Chinese Sui Empire.
2) And In Chinese Ming Empire, Chinese people openly eat human fresh in restaurants.
They sold living persons to restaurants for eating. Such poor people were called as “cairen”.
