中華人民共和国成立初期の兵役・革命関係者と農業集団化運動

In the early years of the People’s Republic of China, there were about 30 million people involved in military service and the revolution, including the families of revolutionary martyrs and soldiers, wounded soldiers. These people were honored for their sacrifices and contributions to the revolution, and were also eligible for relief because they included many wounded soldiers and the socially vulnerable who had lost their breadwinners.
The government, while offering various preferential treatment to the military and revolutionary affiliates, consistently made the active participation of these people in the agricultural collectivization movement and other activities one of the most important means of resolving poverty. In addition, further self-sacrifice was demanded based on its “honored traditions”, and examples of superhuman work were honored, especially among women, the elderly, and wounded soldiers. Thus, the military and revolutionary affiliates were expected to carry the authority of the revolution at the substratum of society while promoting policies and achieving the extreme organization of the labor force.
