1. The CCP’s seizure of power is not the same as that of the Russian Communist Party. The latter is a revolution led by the working class. We are the union of workers and peasants. It is actually a farmer. The great leader Chairman Mao made it very clear: the countryside surrounds the city, so of course the peasants are the root of the family. This is the first major contribution.

2. The peasants did not support the Communist Party unconditionally. When they first hit the local tyrants and killed the landlords, they actually distributed the land to the peasants. At once, the peasants in some parts of China changed from a large number of farmers in the late Qing Dynasty to peasant farmers. In the future, almost all of the country will be farmers. (See Mr. Huang Zongzhi’s research for details.) However, it didn’t take long for the land to be returned to the country – the people’s commune. This is the second major contribution.

3. During the period of socialist transformation, in order to develop industrial and urban needs: a. cheap agricultural products ensure that urban prices are stable and adequately supplied; b farmers cannot flood into cities because of high incomes of workers. Very simple, the agricultural products are acquired in a unified way, the farmers are not allowed to enter the city, and the children of the farmers are not allowed – the household registration system. This is the third contribution.

4. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the data of starving peasants in the natural disasters and man-made disasters has been controversial. If the food is not taken away and the land is taken away, how can the peasants starve to death in the whole country? unimaginable. Going to the mountains and going to the countryside has eased the population pressure and labor pressure of the city but did not develop the countryside at all. This is the fourth contribution.

5. Why is China’s economy still okay during the Cultural Revolution? According to a large number of studies, the overall agricultural production during the Cultural Revolution was affected, which means that the peasants did not seem to participate in the Cultural Revolution so much. The most ignorant farmers seemed to be more rational and continue to support the rebellious in the city. people. Despicable is the most studied person, and the peasants also tell us this truth. This is the fifth contribution.

6. The burgeoning of reform and opening up is not in the city. When the people in the city are tied to death, Sichuan Jiulong took the lead in experimenting with the distribution of farmland to the household. Yes, it is not the first in Xiaogang Village, and Xiaogang Village is only being shackled. Where did you go to Xiaoping? The peasants contributed the first light of national reform and the opportunity to break the concept. (See Coase “Change China” for details.) This is the sixth contribution.

7. The real estate economy during the economic take-off period. A large number of farmers act as workers on construction sites and workers in factories. Low-cost labor, low-quality life, and low status have been contributing to the world from the 1980s. (For details, see Li Qiang, “China’s Migrant Workers and Social Stratification”, Huang Wei, “Analysis of Chinese Migrant Workers’ Citizenization System”, Li Ying, “China’s Migrant Workers’ Policy Changes”, and the State Council’s Migrant Workers’ Office “China’s Migrant Workers Development Research”, etc. This is the seventh contribution.

8. Urbanization development, farmers contributed land, the development of township enterprises, and farmers contributed land. Don’t talk about pay, this is not allowed to talk, it is difficult to talk about. The land acquisition in the early ten years is not a concept at present. Nowadays, because the land is small, the peasants become smart, so they cannot be cheaply exploited. This is the eighth contribution. (Strictly speaking, this is not a particularly big contribution, because China’s land law is very clear, the land is collectively owned, but it is rented to individual farmers. However, the collective land is used for development, and the income is returned to the collective and People in the group can’t elaborate on this matter. See He Xuefeng’s “The Logic of Land Rights” and “China’s Urbanization”.

9. Nowadays, urban environmental problems are getting worse and worse, and a large number of chemical plants are about to be transferred to rural areas and towns. Along with this, a large number of agricultural land has been converted into industrial land, and a large number of landless farmers have become lower-level rural industrial workers than urban industrial workers, and industries that maintain low wages and low labor productivity under the new normal continue to be unattainable. % increase contributes. This is the ninth contribution that farmers will make for the Chinese economy.

In a word: the Communist Party relies on the peasants to create the Republic, complete the development of socialist heavy industry, initiate reform and opening up, realize the economic miracle, and soon realize the transfer of industry. Come on, come and go. It is the guarantee for the rapid development of the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics, the basis for the stability of China’s social malformation structure, and the object of exploitation in the part of the first rich. It is the forerunner and practitioner of two cats, and will also be the bearer of the two birds.

This is the contribution of the peasants. As for what was sacrificed?

Sacrifice the right to share the fruits of national development, sacrifice a lot of life, and be human dignity.
