Question: Which New Zealand-born press reporter was seen as a leftist communist sympathiser, in Jasper Becker's "Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine"?
Context: Hungry Ghosts is a 4-piece indie rock band based in Hong Kong.  The band was founded in 2007 by frontman Luke Chow, a well-known musician active in the Hong Kong rock scene, and guitarist Paul Lam.  Bassist Tiffany Laue and drummer Michael Jack joined shortly after, having met Chow and Lam by jamming at open mic nights in the city.  Along with groups including Chochukmo, King Ly Chee, Poubelle International and My Little Airport, Hungry Ghosts are considered one of Hong Kong's most influential and well-established independent bands. The Three Years of Great Chinese Famine (), referred to by the Communist Party of China as the Three Years of Natural Disasters (), the Three Years of Difficulty () or Great Leap Forward Famine, was a period in the People's Republic of China between the years 1959 and 1961 characterized by widespread famine.  Drought, poor weather, and the policies of ruler Mao Zedong contributed to the famine, although the relative weights of the contributions are disputed due to the Great Leap Forward. John Sheehan (5 July 1844 – 12 June 1885) was a 19th-century New Zealand politician.  He was the first New Zealand-born Member of Parliament elected by a general electorate (rather than a Māori electorate) and he was the first New Zealand-born person to hold cabinet rank. Delores Ann Kildare (1934–2005) was an American poet known by the pen name D. Kildare.  Born in Iowa, she grew up in Los Angeles.  She married Joseph Malof in 1957 and had three children: Andrew, Jessica, and Peter.  She moved to Austin, Texas in 1961 and lived on the shore of Lake Travis.  Her poems were published in numerous journals and quarterlies, and her one volume of poems was published posthumously as "Hungry Ghosts and Other Poems" (Llumina Press, 2006), the back cover of which says that "D. Kildare's poems take us to the edge between things and nothing, where language both secures us and imprisons us."  They reflect her travels and readings in history.  She died in June 2005. Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine is a book written by Jasper Becker, the Beijing bureau chief for the South China Morning Post.  Becker argues that the American press reported the Great Chinese Famine with accuracy, but leftists and communist sympathisers such as Edgar Snow, Rewi Alley, and Anna Louise Strong, remained silent or played down its severity, when Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward had turned into a horrible tragedy.  Becker concludes that the tragedy could have been averted after the first year if Mao's senior advisers had dared to confront him. Elise Margaret Kemp (19 June 1881 — 20 October 1917) was a New Zealand-born nurse who served in the Territorial Forces Nursing Service.  She was the only New Zealand-born nurse killed in action on the Western Front during World War I. Dreams of Joy is a 2011 novel by Lisa See.  It debuted as #1 in the New York Times list of best selling fiction.  In this book See completes the circle she began in "Shanghai Girls".  The former novel ends with the suicide of Pearl’s husband Sam and the shattering discovery by Joy that May is really her mother, Pearl is her aunt, and Z.G., the famous Chinese artist, is her father.  Joy's guilt-driven journey to China to find her father and Pearl's loving pursuit are placed in the context of the tumult and suffering of Mao's China—especially in the context of the horrific famine caused by Mao's misguided Great Leap Forward.  Frank Dikotter writes that “at least 45 million people died unnecessarily between 1958 and 1962. . . As famine spread, the very survival of an ordinary person came increasingly to depend on the ability to lie, charm, hide, steal, cheat, pilfer, forage, smuggle, trick, manipulate or otherwise outwit the state.”  See’s novel uses Mao’s China as her background, but her story focuses on the change and growth of her main characters – Pearl, Joy, Z.G., and May.  Susan Salter Reynolds suggests that “it’s a story with characters who enter a reader’s life, take up residence, and illuminate the myriad decisions and stories that make up human history.” The segaki (施餓鬼 , "feeding the hungry ghosts") is a ritual of Japanese Buddhism, traditionally performed to stop the suffering of the gaki or muenbotoke (the dead who have no living relatives), ghosts tormented by insatiable hunger.  Alternatively, the ritual forces them to return to their portion of hell or keeps the spirits of the dead from falling into the realm of the gaki.  The segaki may be performed at any time, but traditionally performed as part of the yearly Urabone (ullambana、 A Month of Hungry Ghosts is a 2008 film about the seventh-lunar-month Hungry Ghost Festival in Singapore.
