Hi there,
For something that only lasted a couple years, it would be pretty easy to write 1000 pages on this subject, so 10 should be pretty easy to come up with.
You might consider one or more pages about each or any of the following:
It was a disaster both economically and for the people of China.
Millions of people starved to death.
A page on Life in China before The Great Leap Forward, and a page about what it was like after. (These can grow to many pages.)
Things leading up to the 1958 birth of The Great Leap Forward: How about a few pages on all things spiritual and religious being outlawed?
Positive things: Foot binding was outlawed, so was child marriage.
Women were reached out to for education's sake.
====================
How about a page or more on Mao's attempt to increase steel production by assigning peasants to little backyard furnaces all over the country?
Plenty could be said about this. It was a disaster.
Write about The Great Sparrow Campaign. The resulting locust swarms weren't fun to deal with.
You can look into the "Three Bitter Years" also called the "Three Years of Natural Disasters" for more info if you need it.
