In the 1959 Lushan meeting of the Central Committee [[Peng Dehuai]] criticized Mao's policies in the Great Leap with a private letter, as plagued by mismanagement and "petty-bourgeois fanaticism." Unwilling to admit to any mistakes, especially from the political left, Mao formed an alliance with Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, in which he granted them day to day control over the country in return for framing Peng (accusing him of being a "right opportunist"). Among their reforms was a partial retreat from collectivism.
=== Mao and Liu's increasing
After taking some degree of power, Liu Shaoqi had led the country to a series of economic reforms, because of the success shown in [[1962]], Liu had won prestige with many party members both in the central government and with the mass population. Liu and Deng also planned, with influence from others, to gradually retire Mao from any real power and turn him into a figurehead, by 1962 Mao felt he could not avoid dealing with the very problems with the Great Leap Forward Peng pointed out. To try to get back on the political scoreboard and to try to correct mistakes without admitting to them in concept, in [[1963]] Mao initiated the [[Social Education Movement]].
