In December 1968, Chairman Mao's directive that "it is necessary for intellectual youth to go to the countryside and receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants" marked the development of a great movement that swept across the land of China. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At that time, going to the mountains and going to the countryside became a "strategic deployment" of that era, and the movement of intellectual youth to the mountains and the countryside was pushed to the extreme, thus changing the face of an era.

By the end of 1978, the 10th year of the large-scale movement to go to the mountains and to the countryside had begun, and the total number of educated youths in the countryside and in the rural areas and in the border areas had reached 20 million, and 10 million were still receiving "re-education" in the rural areas or border areas.

The educated youths in the country are roughly divided into two categories: one is those who have settled in the queue and live together with the peasants, who earn work together with the peasants, support themselves, and can be transferred back to the city if they have the opportunity. The other category is the educated youth of the production and construction corps on the supporting side. They are nominally soldiers of the Corps, living a semi-militarized collective life and enjoying meager wages, but they cannot recruit workers to return to the city or recruit cadres, and there are 2 million such educated youth, accounting for one-fifth of the country's educated youth.

In 1978, the collective protest of Yunnan educated youth opened the prelude to the return of the national educated youth to the city.

The cause of the incident was the death of a female intellectual, who was pregnant and walked more than ten miles to the farm hospital due to abdominal pain, and died because of the doctor's carelessness. The news of the tragic death of the mother and child immediately spread throughout the farm, and people went in droves to mourn, crying for the misfortune of their companions and their own fate.

As a result, they gradually organized themselves spontaneously, demanding that the farm agree to hold a memorial service, severely punish the personnel concerned, and later put forward some demands for improving the treatment of educated youth. This hostility between the intellectuals and the confrontation of the farm leaders intensified, and friction broke out, and more and more intellectuals of both sexes rushed to the scene from all directions. Two days later, the educated youth had to take another extreme approach, carrying the bodies of the deceased's mother and son and embarking on the road to Jinghong. At first, there were not many people in this team, but after several branches, a large number of educated youths joined the team, and when they finally arrived in Jinghong, the capital of Xishuangbanna Prefecture, the number reached nearly 10,000.

No one would have thought that the sudden death of a female educated youth would trigger this storm of educated youths returning to the city, and become the first roar that led to hundreds of thousands of educated youths in Yunnan and even the whole country finally returning to the city. The petition team staged a sit-in at the gate of the state party committee and put forward their demands, which were largely met. However, when the petition team withdrew from Jinghong, they met another team of educated youths on the road, and this team directly demanded that "the educated youth should return to the city". This time, the incident became more and more intense, and a wave of strikes by educated youths swept through Yunnan, and the "40 Points" had completely blocked their urgent way back to the city. They made a petition to go north and, without consent, forcibly formed a team to go north, and the conflict escalated again. This is a very tight rumor, and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky. The strike command received an anonymous letter from Beijing, in which the writer revealed an important message: There are different views on the movement in Beijing's top leadership on the movement to go to the mountains and to the countryside, and there are great differences, and the "40 Points" do not represent the opinions of many veteran comrades, and it is said that the top level has already given instructions on the work of educated youth.

This gave them a lot of confidence to overcome difficulties and take various ways to go to Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Chongqing in batches, and the process was very exciting, and they could write a novel. On the drizzly afternoon of December 28, a group of people came to the outskirts of Kunming, a place called Yangfangwa, to collectively lie on the tracks, causing dozens of pairs of passenger and freight trains to be blocked from that day on.

They answered the call and came to the frontier with fanatical faith, and now they are looking for their way home with the belief that if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent.

A few days later, the petition delegation was allowed to go to Beijing. When they arrived in Beijing, no one came to receive them, and they didn't know where to go, so the commander-in-chief led them, waving flags, to the Monument to the People's Heroes.

Therefore, tens of thousands of educated youths collectively knelt down and begged to return to the city...... Soon, the storm of educated youths returning to the city spread from Yunnan to the whole country. The movement to the mountains and to the countryside came to an end.

Xia Jingshu saved up the things at home and sent them to the square, and when she came back, she was a little depressed.

At the dinner table, Hua Junyao looked at Xia Jingshu and said, "Sister Jingshu, you still feel uncomfortable?"

"My brother and sister didn't see them, it's really pitiful. Xia Jingshu sighed.

"It's very pitiful, delicate city people, uprooted from their hometowns, living a hard life in the countryside, and working tiringly, it is indeed not as good as this day. Kang Zeyuan said.

"I can't say that, the same people, our old farmers have always been facing the loess with their backs to the sky. That's how our ancestors have come for generations. Xiao Jingheng muttered, "It's the same people, we eat and dry, and they can't do it." The tone was a little resentful, "They will come back when they still have a chance, if we are not admitted to the university, it is really more difficult to cross the gap between urban and rural areas." ”

That sounds right. Xia Jingshu whispered.

"Although our days are hard, we are all together as a family. They have no relatives. Hua Junyao said objectively.

"That's ...... It's all a goddamn mess of the times. Xiao Shaoheng directly pushed it to the era.

"The same cannot be said that the sorrow of the times cannot be a reason for personal tragedy. The years of war are much more difficult than those of peace. Hua Junyao said.

"That's the same, it seems that no matter what the facts are, the key is to see how people live by themselves," Xia Jingshu sighed.

"Actually, when I came back, I didn't see how good it was. Hua Junyao said suddenly.

Back in the city, life is quite difficult, and the meager salary is bearable, but when misfortune happens in the family, life immediately becomes difficult. The families of those educated youths who were seriously injured, disabled, seriously ill or even died in the process of "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" are even more difficult.

"How could it be, how nice it was to come back and be with my family?" Xiao Shaoheng said immediately.

"Hehe......" Hua Junyao raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "You can imagine that after going out for nearly ten years, everything in the city is both familiar and unfamiliar to them. Compared with the excitement and tears falling from the countryside, there were no flowers, no applause, and even the most noisy magpie in the trees was silent, only the old street lamp stood there crookedly, motionless, listlessly saluting us. The flow of people around him came and went in a hurry, and he didn't care about going back to the city at all. ”

"Hiss......" Xiao Jingheng shuddered inexplicably, "In this world, except for your family, who cares about you." ”
