Centennial Party History and Bright Footprint (16) ｜ March forward in twists and turns, and explore the road of socialist construction in bright areas!

Open column language

In 1956, Guangming completed the three major socialist transformations in an all-round way and began to explore the road of socialist construction for a long time. From the re-division of administrative planning to the formulation of "ten-year national economic plan" and "ten-year agricultural development plan", the production enthusiasm of Guangming cadres and masses has been gradually mobilized, and the bright future of socialism has been initially described. With the advancement of people’s communalization, the production and distribution system is more stringent, which limits the development of rural economy to some extent. After nearly three years of continuous correction, the social economy in bright areas has been reversed step by step from the deviation, laying the foundation for further adjustment of the national economy.

Don’t forget the way you came, and the fire will be passed down forever. Today, Guangming District Media Center, Shi Zhiban, District Party-Mass Service Center, Green Guangming Net and Baoan Daily specially launched the 16th issue of a series of reports on "A Hundred Years of Party History and Bright Footprints", "March forward in twists and turns, and explore the road of socialist construction in bright areas! 》。 Let’s cross the trestle of time and space, pursue the bright red footprint, carry forward the spiritual blood of communist party people through the eventful years of the past, carry forward the fearless revolutionary spirit of our ancestors, and turn it into a powerful spiritual force for us to catch up with running and pursue Excellence.

Preliminary exploration of socialist construction began in bright areas.

The bright and happy prospect of socialism has been initially described.

The people’s government of Baoan County Committee of the Communist Party of China earnestly studied and fully implemented the spirit of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. On the basis of the basic completion of the three major socialist transformations, in 1956, the bright area began a long-term exploration of the road of socialist construction.

In October, 1956, Bao ‘an County reduced 71 townships to 31. The Gongming District where the bright area is located governs three townships, namely Gongming, Dongzhou and Shiyan, among which Gongming Township includes four villages, including Gongming and Shuibi, and Dongzhou Township includes three villages, namely Dongzhou, Bilou and Yutang. In March 1958, Bao ‘an withdrew from the district and merged with the township, and set up 16 townships and 1 town. Gongming Township resumed its organizational system, governed five townships, namely, Gongming, Dongzhou, Yutang, Bilou and Shuibi, and established a township party committee. Baihuadong resumed the administrative village system, which is under the jurisdiction of Guanlan Township.

According to the National Economic Plan of Bao ‘an County from 1958 to 1967 and the Ten-year Agricultural Development Plan of Bao ‘an County from 1958 to 1967 formulated by Bao ‘an County Committee of the Communist Party of China, Gongming Township requires that agricultural cooperatives be completely consolidated, the productive forces be rapidly developed, and the policy of giving priority to staple crops, diversified operations and all-round development be resolutely implemented, so that grain, various cash crops and sideline production have made a huge leap. Strive to achieve "ten changes" in ten years from rivers to fish ponds, thin fields to fertile fields, barren hills to orchards, beaches to fertile fields, poor villages to rich villages, rural gardens, thatched houses to tiled houses, Redmi to white rice, Niu Geng to mechanized farming and oil lamps to electric lights, and build Baoan into the "six bases" of grain, meat, oil, fruit, aquatic products and special cash crops in Huiyang Special Zone, and realize droughts and floods. At the same time, we will further develop economy, culture, education, health, transportation, posts and telecommunications and other undertakings, so as to improve people’s living standards.

The 10-year national economic plan and the 10-year rural development plan formulated by Bao ‘an County Committee paint a bright and happy prospect of socialism for the bright people, greatly inspire the enthusiasm of the broad masses to participate in socialist construction, play a driving role in mobilizing the enthusiasm of the broad masses of cadres and masses, and further set off a larger-scale production movement, which is a useful exploration carried out by the bright people on the road of building socialism. In May, 1958, Bao ‘an County Committee launched a rural rectification movement in the whole county, focusing on "double opposition" (anti-waste, anti-conservatism) and "four diligence" (thrifty in building the country, running cooperatives, managing the family and doing everything diligently). The Bilou Cooperative, a third-class cooperative left behind by the land reform in Guangming District, became the advanced "upstream cooperative" in the county. In the same year, Gongming Township also purchased the first "Jiefang" brand truck.

Guangming implements the people’s commune.

Lay the foundation for further adjustment of the national economy

In June, 1958, the Baoan County Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the instruction of "Assault Month" to publicize the general line of "Go all out, strive for the upper reaches, and build socialism quickly, well and economically", and the massive general line propaganda campaign was widely and deeply carried out throughout the county. In August of the same year, Baoan County Committee called for the establishment of people’s communes throughout the county according to the instructions of the superior party committee. In September, Baoan implemented the people’s commune system of "integration of politics and society". The whole county was organized into six people’s communes, which governed 41 production management areas. Gongming Township and bright farm formed Guangming People’s Commune, and the Party Committee of Guangming People’s Commune was established. Baihuadong Brigade belongs to the Red People’s Commune; In April 1959, Bao ‘an County was organized into 12 people’s communes, and Guangming Commune was abolished at the same time. Its area was under the jurisdiction of Songgang Commune, in which there were two administrative areas, Gongming and Yutang, with a total of 17 brigades. Baihuadong Brigade belongs to Guanlan Commune. In July 1961, the county was divided into 5 regions, 22 people’s communes and 7 farms. Gongming was separated from Songgang People’s Commune, and Gongming People’s Commune was established, with 22 brigades under its jurisdiction. In July, the Party Committee of Gongming Commune was established and stationed in Gongming Fair; At the same time, the commune held a people’s congress, with 54 representatives attending, and elected the commune management committee. In February 1963, Gongming commune merged 22 brigades into 9 brigades; Baihuadong Brigade belongs to Guanlan Commune.

After the people’s commune, the agricultural cooperatives with different economic conditions and rich and poor levels in the bright areas were merged, and the cooperatives handed over all their property to the commune. After the people’s commune, the commune ownership and distribution system of the whole people will be implemented. However, this kind of rural social organization form of "integration of politics and society" has suppressed farmers’ enthusiasm for production to some extent and hindered the benign development of rural economy. In this regard, on the one hand, Baoan County Committee has implemented seven major policies, such as the scale of commune teams, the system of "three guarantees and four fixings", work evaluation and scoring, quota management, distribution system, public canteens and household sideline business, on the other hand, it has further solved the problem of "five styles" of cadres and promoted people’s communes to implement three-level ownership of communes, brigades and production teams. After nearly three years of continuous correction, the social economy in bright areas has been reversed step by step from the deviation, laying the foundation for further adjustment of the national economy.

In October 1961, the second Congress of Baoan County was held. The meeting decided that Baoan County Committee will build four bases in the next two or three years, including commodity grain bases in eight communes including Gongming and fruit bases in four communes including Guanlan where Baihuadong is located, which will have a positive impact on the future development of Baoan County, including bright areas.

In the next issue, we will bring the story of the comprehensive adjustment and completion of the bright national economy, so please pay attention!
