Pinyin - capital D

The current wordy definition doesn't really say what the GLF was, and doesn't
even mention that it happened in China.

Or you could just chop off my definition after the dates:
"Great Leap Forward (1958-1960)"
Diff:
- 大躍進 大跃进 [da4 yue4 jin4] /the Great Leap Forward (1958-1960), in retrospect widely viewed as an unprecedented economic and social disaster, with estimated 20 million people dying of starvation/
+ 大躍進 大跃进 [Da4 yue4 jin4] /Great Leap Forward (1958-1960), Mao's attempt to modernize China's economy, which resulted in social and economic catastrophe/
