#Headline Creation Challenge#Some people on the Internet question the "big package", some think that the "big package" is a regression, and the feudal dynasty before liberation was also private ownership; some think that the "big package" hinders the scale and mechanization of agriculture, and some think that it is the role of chemical fertilizers that increase the output of food.
Many people who have experienced it know that at that time, the peasants' income depended on the division of labor, and the production team leader whistled (or rang the bell) on time in three periods (morning, morning and afternoon) to let people work in the fields. At the beginning of each year, the production team will issue a "Labor Division Handbook" to each member, recording the date of work, the name of the farm work engaged and the number of work scores, which will be accumulated every month and at the end of the year. The peasants are also grinding foreign laborers, and they do not contribute to the work.
At that time, the grain output was basically 5 or 600 catties per mu. Due to natural disasters and poor crop harvests, some production teams were not only unable to pay the state public grain, but on the contrary, they did not even have their own food rations, and ate "grain for sale," and some even left their hometowns to beg for food. The peasants don't eat any fish and meat all year round, and they are basically thin and yellow, and their clothes are "the new boss, the old second, and the third one."
"What guarantees the state, what is left for the collective, and the rest is your own." From 1982 to 1984, the central government affirmed the "big package" in the form of "Document No. 1" for three consecutive years. By 1984, more than 99 percent of the country's 5.69 million production teams had implemented the household contract responsibility system, grain output exceeded 800 billion catties, and the per capita grain possession reached 800 catties, basically solving the problem of food and clothing for hundreds of millions of peasants.
The "big package" not only solves the problem of food and clothing, but more importantly, liberates the peasants. Not only have they got rid of the shackles of the production teams, brigades, and communes of collective work, collective work, distribution of labor, and leave of absence, but they can also freely plant and breed, freely circulate land, freely go to the city to work, freely run enterprises, and freely move with their families.
It is precisely because hundreds of millions of peasants have been liberated from the land that there have been self-employed households, 10,000-yuan households, and township enterprises, a large number of private enterprises that are "big and heavy-weighted," that there is an urbanization rate of more than 60 percent today, and that there is the world's second largest economy.
"Big Package" not only changed the relationship between "people" and "land", but more importantly, broke the shackles of the system and mechanism, and the farmers had autonomy, released human nature, and liberated the productive forces!
