it's something like "Mao led the most comprehensive land reform in history, returning 95% of the land to 98% of the population."
Anyone know the full quote and source? thanks

My understanding was that the CCP land reforms began slowly even before they had secured victory over the KMT, with landlords sometimes being reinstated when the communists had to retreat. Also I am not at all sure that land redistribution was led by Mao. I'll be watching the comments here for more English histories of the Chinese revolution.
