Sorry for my title - It should be: Does "of" have the meaning of "about"?
Hello, I have seen in the past many places who wrote "of" and they had the same meaning of "about".
Please help me to understand this:
Three catastrophic events in China were responsible(the situation of more deaths than births):
1. The criticism of Ma Yinchu made it impossible to implement family planning.
My note: Ma Yinchu is the person who thought about the idea of "one child" to every family.
So It seems odd to me that the person who thought about the idea of "family planning" has criticism on himself.
So in other words: the sentence can be changed to this? The criticism about/on(someone criticized) Ma Yinchu made it impossible to implement family planning?
Thanks
