Is it true that China's Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1962 achieved its goals of rapid industrial and agricultural growth?

No. A reference article on the Great Leap Forward reports that the 1958-1962 campaign caused a famine with 15 to 55 million deaths and forced an 82 percent cut in industrial investment, indicating its growth goals were not achieved.
