Answer:
The Hundred Flowers Campaign, also termed the Hundred Flowers Movement was a period in 1956 in the People's Republic of China during which the Communist Party of China (CPC) encouraged citizens to express openly their opinions of the communist regime. Differing views and solutions to national policy were encouraged based on the famous expression by Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong: "The policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend is designed to promote the flourishing of the arts and the progress of science". The movement was in part a response to the demoralization of intellectuals, who felt estranged from the Communist Party.
