A little credit for Mao's accomplishment here. He achieved that literacy rate while killing the 50 million who already knew how to read.

Those literacy stats are very much in question, as is every stat ever issued by the PRC. You're quoting the propaganda. And what could they then read, if some became literate? The Party's propaganda. By 1960, a great deal was off-limits, required permission to be read.
