The official Chinese historical research institute published an article praising the “great feat of advancing social progress” by going to the countryside, another test of Xi Jinping‘s backtracking from the Cultural Revolution. The first 30 years cannot be denied, nor can the last 30 years. The Communist Party is always right and always great.
The author is also a person who came to the countryside, a little qualified to say a few words.
The biggest role of going to the countryside, as this article acknowledges, is to solve the employment problem of the year. The only way out was to go to the countryside.
A large number of bloodthirsty Red Guards, the Cultural Revolution is used to wild, unruly, and experience the trials and tribulations of the attack on the military, idle in the city, it is easy to make the event of confrontation with the government, the fire is not easy to clean up.
So many young people in the developmental age, an amazing amount of Food, are staying in the city, the government has to use the treasury granaries to feed them, the birth of the few who eat the many, is not a long-term solution. The Red Guards are to talk about Marriage, are married in the city, Family planning will have huge pressure.
Only a wizard like Mao could come up with this “multi-benefit” solution. While the Red Guards were still listening to the teachings and words, the phrase “the vast world has a lot to offer” tricked these revolutionary successors into going to the poor countryside for disguised labor reform.
From the “revolutionary pioneers” at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, they were reduced to “stinky old men” who went to the mountains and villages to receive “re-Education“. It was the Cultural Revolution. After the Cultural Revolution, we did not become better because we followed Mao Zedong to do the revolution, but became worse. The Red Guards were used up by old Mao, the revolutionary pioneers became revolutionary objects, Mao Zedong did not need to explain, and we had no right to question back then.
Mao Zedong is the most clever is the “movement of the masses”, creating a topic, obviously drove us to the countryside to labor reform, but said “to receive re-education”. The young people suffered in the countryside, lost several layers of skin, were crippled in their minds, changed their outlook on Life, and became disillusioned with the future.
Mao Zedong is great, but the first to question the old Mao is also the generation of intellectuals. When you have suffered all the hardships of the world, you know that the world is unbearable. In the 1970s and 1980s, this generation was also the first to support reform and opening up.
