Near the end of the exhibit I started feeling sick and went to the guest area near the exit, and laid down. When I felt a little better I sat up, and noticed a guestbook for visitors to leave comments. I noticed a comment from a woman who said she worked as a nurse. The comment read something like this: “I am very upset that no mention was made of the very clear bullet entrance wound aimed at the heart of the second-to-last woman in this exhibit”. I got up to take a closer look at that woman, and I didn’t see anything, but then again, I don’t work as a nurse.

I missed 20/20 yesterday. Did they mention anything about this?

State Department: Mao Zedong Offered to Send Millions of Chinese Women to U.S.

Friday, February 15, 2008

WASHINGTON — Amid a discussion of trade in 1973, Chairman Mao Zedong made what Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger called a novel proposition: sending tens of thousands, even 10 million, Chinese women to the United States.

“You know, China is a very poor country,” Mao said, according to a document released by the State Department’s historian office. “We don’t have much. What we have in excess is women. So if you want them we can give a few of those to you, some tens of thousands.”

A few minutes later, Mao circled back to the offer. “Do you want our Chinese women?” he asked. “We can give you 10 million.”

After Kissinger noted Mao was “improving his offer,” the chairman said, “We have too many women … They give birth to children and our children are too many.”

“It is such a novel proposition,” Kissinger replied in his discussion with Mao in Beijing. “We will have to study it.”
