@meekalefay: 1968, “Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement"

Rice Spice💕 :

Guys it’s not as lit as the it sounded like on the paper…many of my friend’s grandparents were taking to the countryside being forced to be “reeducated” for many reasons (too educated, to “woke” for the standard at that time). The reeducation movement became a power trip, people were forced to do labours and they were given really bad living conditions…from what I know many people lost their life (voluntarily or involuntarily) during this time, especially women. Some of the lucky ones got out of the reeducation process by marrying out, and some of them not so lucky, although their families in the cities were pulling every string they can think of to get them out of there, a lot of them just stayed because there’s no way out…

mao is in fact overhated, and im not trying to say that chinese people didn't suffer on his charge (even though famines were already common before mao got in power), however, he did a lot of great things for chinese consolidation as one of the biggest empires of the xxi century

they were urban elites so far removed from any sort of physical labor they had become alienated to nature. this was necessary and people like xi jinping and his family were part of the program
