Background: The production slogan during the Great Leap Forward from 65438 to 0958 was a grandiose slogan that was seriously divorced from objective reality. On August 27th, 1958, People's Daily published a letter entitled "How Bold Is Man's Productivity", which was written by a comrade sent by the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC to Shouzhang County, Shandong Province to know the situation. The letter said that this year's Shouzhang grain yield per unit area, the slogan of the county party secretary is "guarantee 2,000 kilograms and strive for 3,000 kilograms", but in fact, the county's per mu yield is 10,000. An acre of land will yield 50,000 Jin, 65,438+10,000 Jin, or even hundreds of thousands of Jin of sweet potatoes. An acre of land should yield 1 to 20000 Jin of corn and millet. The measure is to let go of close planting on the basis of sufficient water and fertilizer and deep cultivation. An acre of millet has been densely planted from more than 30,000 plants in the past to 654.38+million, 200,000, 400,000 and 500,000 plants. According to the editor of People's Daily, this letter vividly reflects the situation of the Great Leap Forward there.

Meaning: The original intention is to achieve the high rate of return you want. It is a statement that violates objective laws and is divorced from reality.
