Dear comrades,

I remember reading that after the Liberation of China by the communist party, the main cities had a problem with dead bodies in the streets due to opium overdoses. That every morning they had to clean an enormous amount of dead bodies.

However I can't find anything on it anymore. Can someone help a comrade out?
