Correctly understand the great achievements in socialist construction and development in the first thirty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Only by comparing it with the pre-founding period in terms of industry, agriculture, education, medical care, scientific development, and people's family-contentment and living environment can we know that it was a great era, a fiery era of surging passion, and even more a period of rapid development, and the party led the people of the whole country to face poverty and poverty, overcome many difficulties, unite as one, and unite as one to set off a climax of building great socialism. What a splendid period, what a glorious time.
However, there are always some people who like to distort and deny that period, and even say that they are starving, poor and backward, which is really too undeserved. But do these people know the tragic state of poverty and backwardness in the disaster-stricken old China? If you know, you will never deny the period of rapid development after the founding of the country. People must talk about conscience, and they must not be ignorant enough to follow the crowd and carry out hearsay to make groundless accusations and distortions of that period.
Some people describe that period as closed and closed, and it is really a lack of knowledge to understand the history and background of the times. At that time, self-reliance was no way, and the only way to do it was the only right way to do so. For some time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, only the socialist camp recognized new China, and the Western powers made every effort to make things difficult, besieged, blockaded and sanctioned, and even launched wars to interfere. We received assistance from the Soviet Union, but after Khrushchev came to power, he cancelled cooperation for no reason, stopped projects, and withdrew experts, so that many construction projects were abandoned halfway, and self-reliance was put forward in this context, using self-reliance, arduous pioneering, and hard work to save themselves, and self-help was successful, and the people of the Chinese people's tenacious and indomitable fighting spirit and the spirit of struggle that were not afraid of heaven and earth and the many miracles created shocked the people of the world. But some people distort history to say what is closed and closed, I don't know whether it is ulterior motives or lack of knowledge.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the party led the people to eliminate illiteracy, vigorously set up schools and hospitals, and enabled the people to quickly get out of the scarred poverty and backwardness of old China; the party led the people of the whole country to develop heavy industry from the handicraft industry at the time of the founding of the country, so that industry and science and technology developed rapidly, and quickly formed a complete industrial system. Is it not a miracle that we have vigorously carried out water conservancy in agriculture, built 80,000 reservoirs and crisscrossing drainage and irrigation canal systems, and have masterpieces of the Hongqi Canal; comprehensively harnessed major rivers and rivers to eliminate flooding, carried out large-scale farmland infrastructure construction, rapidly changed the backward situation of "looking forward to the harvest" caused by drought and flooding, and realized a new scene of drought and flood protection and the people's peace and contentment? High attention has been paid to culture and education. There were only a very few private schools below the old Chinese county that were only for the children of rich families to study, except for the rigid study of the "Thousand Character Text" and the "Three Character Classic" and other disciplines. The Party has rapidly launched a literacy campaign throughout the country, and more than 95 percent of the country's population is illiterate, which has changed rapidly, becoming a new situation in which the majority of the people are literate; moreover, there is a great deal of schooling, primary schools with comprehensive disciplines are run at the doorstep of the home, and secondary schools are run at the township level, and the construction of secondary schools and universities has been increased, so that every child can go to school and have something to learn. It's not a miracle.
In terms of health care, it is developing rapidly. There are only herbal medicine herbs below the old China county, no matter how many diseases, only rely on Chinese herbal medicine to take the pulse, and grasping a few pairs of herbs is only resigned to fate. After the founding of New China, the party and the government vigorously built hospitals, trained doctors, and trained barefoot doctors to take root in the grass-roots level and spread throughout the village teams, so that everyone could see a doctor and be able to see the disease, that is, during that period, they conquered tuberculosis, smallpox, polio, meningitis, schistosomiasis, and other diseases that people have called terminal diseases for thousands of years.
There are also many aspects of the cadre contingent's single-minded and honest government construction, which are all miracles, and there are too many to list them all.
We must correctly view history and respect history, and we must not just deny it by hearsay.
